The term "no brainer" immediately comes to mind ...

So while I am here discovering the meaning of life (pun intended), did the Big 12 change their mind yet or do they still see us as we are?

My question is if you've got the SEC in one corner .... the Alliance in the other .... where does that leave the Big 12?

Where we are now? For sure we are about to below that soon. But I am ready!

Is this the chip on our shoulders we need?  The final warning?  The eye opener?

It's kind of fun reading the comments on many of the online stories about the Big 12's unofficial four-team expansion choices. A few commenters think it's great that the Big 12 will live to fight another day, but most are laughing at the new Little 12, Irrelevant 12, etc. I'm not saying it isn't the right (or maybe only) move, but if perception is reality (and it most often is) then the Big 12 can go ahead and drop the "P5" designation and join us lowly peasants. Congrats on your (ahem) promotion UH, Cinci, and UCF.

I agree.  For years, everyone said that the Big 12 isn't anything without Texas or Oklahoma.  And to be honest, for the past decade Texas hasn't been much more than a blue chip name.  Kind of like Notre Dame: usually overrated.  At least Notre Dame's actually been to the CFP.

What's going to happen to that big 12 money when those two are gone?  

With the SEC being at 16, I find it hard to believe that the rest of the money conferences won't try to go to the same.  It sucks that UCF got an alleged invite ahead of us, but I think this story is far from over.

Is it possible for three or four other conferences to find enough profitable members to get to 16 that won't lower individual payouts?  I don't think so and therefore, without a governing body it does not have to happen.  Am I wrong?
