Big 12 Expansionpalooza is upon us. Commissioner Bob Bowlsby is vetting candidates, media and fans are analyzing the resumes of prospective schools, but has anyone looked at the fanbases? You're in luck, WRNL is here to help.

Lost somewhat in the fever pitch was the criteria by which schools will be evaluated. Per Bowlsby, "We're looking at the strength of the athletic programs, their competitiveness. We're looking at the fan base, access to media markets. And also we're very much looking at the reputations of the institutions for integrity.
