Words From the Pope: Could Colorado State’s academic standing really land it in the Big 12?

The topic of conference expansion has been on the mind of college football fans, especially Colorado State fans, ever since the Big 12 became the Little 10 and the Big 10 expanded to a 14-team league between 2010 and 2013.
