08:19 AM ET 05.16 | Just what kind of jewel would Florida State present for the Big 12? It would be good for the Big 12 because it would bring a school with rich football and baseball tradition and some basketball success, open up a prime state for recruiting and greatly expand the league's footprint. ... Louisville -- or Clemson -- and Florida State would be great additions, but I'm told several Big 12 schools still favor staying at 10 teams for now. If some Big 12 schools are lukewarm about Clemson or Louisville, the Big 12 could invite the Seminoles, stay at 11 teams and still play a full round-robin football schedule. Or better yet, go all out, invite FSU, Clemson, Duke and North Carolina and form a dynamite football/basketball league.

Can someone please explain to me why in the **** the Statesman keeps a ****-ing idiot like Kirk Bohls on its staff? Does he have a picture of its chief editor in bed with an underage prostitute?Wait, I know! Let's add Florida State, Connecticut, Oregon, Arizona, Notre Dame and Oxford. That will enhance our footprint, plus give us more horsepower in football, basketball and cricket!

I'd rather have Rice

Good for basketball, not so sure about football.

Absolutely not.

Every time I go down there and pick up that lousy paper on my way to the room in my in-law's hallway, I am so thankful for my Dallas Morning News subscription...

Iowa State might welcome the idea of Duke, but I do not see the Dukies leaving the ACC. I don't see any NC FBS schools leaving the ACC.

"Punching bag" Rice. Except for baseball.
