Only issue with that is that it even further weakens the Big 12's ability to negotiate a new TV deal. Adding more Texas schools doesn't improve the conference's ability to deliver TV sets.

The Big 12 would have to add new markets to survive, or partner extremely closely with the Pac-10. Or both.

I think the most likely thing is the Big 12 dies as its pieces are bitten off by conferences with competant leadership.
