An update on Big 12 Mexico. pic.twitter.com/ckINSp4cVx

I continue to push for the idea of bringing in a large Mexican University into the Big 12

If regional conferences no longer matter...then to heck with it....we should just swing for the fences and be the first international college football conference.

Football is growing in Mexico and the country as 120 million people.



NAUM has 200,000 undergrads and has been around (in some form) since the 1500s as a University.

Bring on the Pumas!

Do they sell tequila at the games? Or is that reserved for the jumbo camarones!

Send BYU to play in it. They will welcome the opportunity to witness and proselytize while there. And the rest of the conference fanbases can avoid getting shot in a cartel war.

Never miss an opportunity to talk to people about Jesus.....and his brother.

I was assuming this was about the football bowl game. Was there also a plan for a basketball game in Mexico?

Houston coach Kelvin Sampson says he was "ecstatic" that the Big 12 Mexico game against Kansas was postponed.
"I was never a big fan of that."

Just think of all the travel hassles getting a bunch of players a passport (needed for Air Travel to Monterrey) within 2-3 weeks of being selected for the postseason bowl. Yikes.

You might as well just play the game at the Sun Bowl. There are probably more Mexicans there now than US citizens.

Yep ..it's in the OP..plan was Kansas vs Houston in a men's/women's doubleheader..

Bowl games that require too much travel already have poor attendance.

Add in the risk of getting kidnapped or shot in a cartel war... no thanks.

That's not the idea.

The idea is to broaden the appeal of American football, specifically the B12 and enter a new market.

I know it isn't the idea.

I was merely pointing out the issues this would face. Among others like the passports mentioned above.
