The Big 12 is painting itself into a corner.

Its reported list of expansion finalists has devolved into a study of, "Which one of these doesn't belong?" Rice Owls , wish an enrollment of less than 7,000, is supposedly on the same footing with UCF Knights , which has the largest enrollment in the country at 51,000.

The list also reportedly includes a military academy ( Air Force Falcons ), Mormon flagship (BYU) and the land-grant university from the state of Connecticut (UConn).
