We’ll have to recruit two schools to replace Nebraska and Colorado, or else eliminate the conference championship game.
Boise State and BYU would be the most likely and most palatable.
If more schools don’t join the conference, the Big 12 will have 10 teams, while, of course, the Big 10 will have 12 teams. How could that be confusing to anyone?
The University of Houston would probably jump at the opportunity. They were passed over in favor of Baylor when the SWC split up, and got stuck in Conference USA a few years back.

Beginning at 2:00 CDT, Paul Finebaum in Birmingham will be talking about this, and trying to get current information, I’m sure. It was on his show last week that Texas A&M regent Gene Stallings first gave strong indications that he and others might prefer the SEC for A&M.
Finebaum has been popular in Alabama and surrounding staters for years and now has gone national on one of the satellite channels.
