This is actually true. I'm fine with the Big East if the cut out their dead weight like Providence, St. Johns etc. The Big 12 is still in better shape than the Big East is in football even without OU. That is how bad the Big East is and they STILL get a BCS game. Merging with the Big East is a win for both of the remaining conferences should UT, OU, OSU, and Tech bolt. Bring Baylor with you, they do have a decent program now and you have two schools in Texas, ton of the midwest, some of the south, South Florida, alot of the east coast. That is a solid conference anyway you slice it.
