Here's how a Big 16 might look: In the interest of relieving stress, calming nerves, starting more speculation and just having some fun, let's blow out the expansion thing while we still can.
Big 12 North
Kansas
Kansas State
Iowa State
West Virginia
Central Florida
Cincinnati
Connecticut
BYU
Big 12 South
Oklahoma
Texas
Texas Tech
TCU
Baylor
Oklahoma State
Houston
Colorado State
Super majority: Any major change would have to be approved by at least eight schools. Given the Big 12's fractious nature, is that possible on any measure? Even if the support is 9-1, Texas' opposition might be enough to scuttle any discussion. The Longhorn Network must be accounted for, of course.
Texas seemed to reveal itself this month when one Texas official was quoted as saying, "If we get rid of LHN, it will be to change conferences."
No pressure, Big 12 presidents.
