The best case for the Big 12 (now 10) would be for Texas and the rest of the remaining teams to stay in the league--and for the league to look at adding two more teams. Memphis and Louisville would make nice adds, imo.

I assume the Pac-10 would then add Utah--and all the talk of expansion would be over for a little while.

FWIW, though, I don't think that is what is going to happen. I think these four 16 team superleagues want to take a bigger share of the pie.
I think they would look for football schools more so than basketball schools. I'm thinking Utah and TCU.
