According to a source, some of the natural rivalries that the Big 12 plans to prioritize in an effort to ensure multiple matchups during the regular season in 23-24 and 24-25 are Kansas-Kansas State, Oklahoma-Oklahoma State, Texas-Texas Tech, Baylor-TCU, and West Virginia-Cincinnati. The league is also considering Iowa State-BYU and Houston-UCF as matchups that will occur twice a season during this two-year window where there are 14 teams in the conference.

I’m guessing ISU gets KU, KSU, OSU, Cincy, and BYU.

Yeah, those mormons are really a problem. I look forward to playing them every year...

This is what ya get when the actual conferences keep changing. Unavoidable but the overall strength is good and that does matter.

Getting Cincy and BYU would be fantastic for us (Cincy is priority #1 IMO due to where Campbell likes to recruit).

SLC is kinda cool.
I'm sure nobody is psyched to see Ames. They say DSM is kinda cool.

I hope you are being funny. Never heard a place more over-rated. I'm sure the newcomers will hit it though and half of them will think its great too!

Once OU and Texas are gone, they will pair us up with Okie lite I bet, or maybe they make it BYU since we are probably closest outside of the Kansas schools.

I don't see any natural connection between ISU and oSu. Perhaps you can explain one?

After reading this article, one thing I thought about was the future of the Big12/SEC challenge. If the Big 12 decides to not select ESPN as a television partner, I wonder if ESPN will move the SEC into a challenge with the ACC, since they both align with ESPN.

I think its just that OU will be gone, ISU's and oSu primary rivals will be gone. Not to mention ISU and oSu have been in the same conference for what...many decades if not a century?

EDIT: Consecutive years since 1958, and 4 additional years from 1925-1928.

Could be but who would miss it?

How about we were both original members of the Big 8? Not that hard.

It should switch to OSU when the traitors are gone.
