Look for 3 city schools, if you're lucky.
Or watch them just take one and try to hold at 10, which is just conference suicide, IMO. I understand the folks that try to say that 16 is too many (and it might be), but 10 is too few. I think you need that conference championship game.

I don't think adding 1-2 to get back to 10 is conference suicide if all the schools pledge their media rights as has been suggested. Adding schools to get back to 12 decreases each school's slice of the TV revenue, and I don't think the Big 12 is in position to bargain hard at the negotiation table right now for big new tier 1 and 2 deals.
