The Big Ten can then say they didn't have a choice but to add a few more teams to compete with the new Pac-10/16, and can add 2-4 more teams.

Who knows which teams that will be, but if the Pac-10 truly adds the 5 from the Big 12 South, it will be the beginning, not the end, of realignment.
Wait, is that official now?
