Big 12 Based on Geography

Staying Around (8): Kansas State, Kansas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech, TCU, Texas, Baylor

Newcomers (2): Nebraska, Texas A&M

It’s almost funny to use the word newcomers to describe the Aggies and Cornhuskers coming back to the conference they were inaugural members of over two decades ago. Money drove them to the SEC and Big Ten respectively, but a simple map brings them back to the place they should be in.

With the conference having no divisions and everyone playing everyone, you will get the yearly games between Nebraska and Oklahoma as well as Texas and Texas A&M back without having to pull teeth to get it done. By trading those two for Iowa State and West Virginia, the conference is getting back football talent that makes them immediately one of the best leagues nationwide.
