3. law makers are mobilizing in Texas right now to try and block Texas going to the Pac-10 unless they take Baylor too. This would mean that the Pac-10 would have to drop Colorado and add Baylor. This drops the value of the whole deal more than you would think. Because it adds another team to split profits with without adding ANY t.v. market. The Pac-10 is already taking a hit on the t.v. market per school by taking Texas and Texas A&M.
in the end i think Texas bails and the whole Pac-10/big 12 south merger fails.
imo MU/Neb decide to go to the Big 10 ... they stay 1 more year in the Big 12. After that the Big 12 adds another couple of schools and moves on from there.

Doesn't matter if it does or doesn't... It's gonna spur the Big Ten to action.
