I just heard a rumor that Arkansas State is moving to the big 12 in 2015. Anyone confirm?

I can confirm that you fell victim to a satire site.

“It is certainly not the first team I would expect the Big 12 to add, but when you analyze the move it does make a lot of sense,” CBS Sports analyst Bruce Feldman tells us. “They are a program that has began recruiting strongly in SEC regions, it establishes a footprint in the Little Rock, Memphis, and Northern Mississippi markets. It can’t be any worse than adding West Virginia for sure.”
He includes Feldman in the article because he fell for a similar article during our coaching search which said Houston Nutt was going to be our next coach. Feldman went so far as getting a quote from Nutt himself denying it.
RockCityTimes does good work.
Dammit Jim!

Are they going Indy or back down to FCS?
I haven't read any rumors yet, but some are guessing they might go American Conference.
That won't work. The ONLY reason you add :U_Mass: is for hoops. They are in the A-10 in hoops which isn't a fbs football conference. They are going to either have to leave the A-10 to join another conference or go back to FCS or stay indy. I just cannot imagine a conference allowing a new school to be in its conference for some sports but not others.
I just don't see a conference jumping over itself to land UMASS. No offense to the people who attend UMASS but I don't think about this school when I think about a powerful athletic programme (outside of the odd year in bball). Personally I think they should stay where they are in all sports.
I think the Atlantic 10 would be a good fit. Maybe stay indy for football if they don't want to move back down.
The dude abides.
IIRC, there were rumors a few months ago they might drop back to FCS for football since they are not competitive in the FBS. Maybe that is what is going on here?
I've read some speculation they might go Sun Belt in football to give them 12 teams, but I don't think there's anything behind that (yet).
So, who does the Big 12 approach to add this winter/spring?
They need two more teams for a conference championship game.
Cincinnati, Memphis & BYU.So, who does the Big 12 approach to add this winter/spring?

There has also been mention of UCF. BYU & Cincinnati would be my picks.
Problem is they probably won't be able to play til 2016 right? There isn't any way to get them in for next season at this point right?So, who does the Big 12 approach to add this winter/spring?

A championship game isn't the problem. The problem is that the second best team in the Big 12 beat the best team and took them out of the mix when they won the conference. Had Baylor lost, Ohio St. would be out and TCU would be in.

Well, yes, TCU going undefeated (which they would have had they beaten Baylor) would have solved everything
EDIT: Just realized you were saying if Baylor had lost to K-State. Not sure that would have gotten TCU in, but certainly the discussion is different then.
Not having a championship game was absolutely part of the problem. Everybody says that TCU and Baylor both win Saturday and don't understand why they dropped (for the record, I would have been just fine with any of the three getting in. I consider it a pleasant surprise). What if TCU and Baylor had been off? Would there be shock then? Because by playing one less game they had an extra bye week. The fact that it wasn't after Thanksgiving doesn't change that fact.
If TCU and Baylor had played again this week, I personally believe that the winner would have been in the playoffs.
