You watch, Big-12 will announcement an expansion in October and the schools they pick will shock you.  This is going to be emotional decision not a strategic one.

There will be no "shocking" anyone.

They are going to pick Cinci and Houston. It seems like a done deal at this point.

ESPN talking heads are lame, except for live sports I don't watch ESPN, especially hate it when one of the affirmative action lesbians are calling football games.

ESPN is a joke. Nothing more than Enhanced Social Propaganda Network. The broadcasts and shows consist of nothing more than repeated soap opera dreck (ad nauseum),hypothetical questions, over-the-top exaggeration and phony exuberance. Sports talk radio and local news (tv) all follow the same script. It's all a joke.

If and I mean "IF" the Big XII do expand by 4, USF and UCF are almost certain to be in. The Big XII doesn't want to go through the whining of an island school again. They also would prefer full members. That would seem to leave BYU out. Houston is a market they already have, (Even if they aren't the primary player in it). So I'd guess they'd take; Cincinnati, UConn, USF and UCF. This also sets them up for a future network.

I would be down with that.

I think you're letting your heart and logic get in the way.  My personal opinion of the "pecking order" based on hundreds of hours evaluating this subject are as follows: #1 Cincy, #2 Houston, #3 BYU, #4 UConn, #5,6,7 Memphis, USF, UCF (any order)

I know people keep saying UCONN but this goes beyond football.  Olympic sports could not handle the travel to UCONN. It would be a nightmare.
