I'm not sure how I feel about it. It can't add too much in regards to monetary value, and I'd worry they'd be like Wichita and quickly fade after they make it in...

The Zags have played and won against a fairly good OOC schedule recently. I am not a fan of them joining the Big 12 except that they are one more powerhouse basketball team for UCF to lose to them. If they join, they shouldn't get a full revenue share or any football revenue.
