I try to look at this from the perspective of what makes the most sense for the power people. If the Big XII survives in its present form, Texas and Oklahoma basically rule the conference, and can expect to get the two BCS spots on a regular basis (either as conference champ or also-ran), with the second-tier teams fighting for leftovers and lower bowls and the lower tier teams providing bloody blow-out victories.
Why would they want to change that?
And while I put little stock in leaks from official sources, I put even less stock in official statements.
