The best bet is for Texas, OU, and OKST to go elsewhere.
The rest of the conference is garbage.

OU and Okst are basically going to have to be a package deal if they leave right?

Weren't they all supposed to go to the Pac 10 initially when the first expansion came up? Texas really holds the keys to everything, once they bolt the rest will dissolve.

I'll be completely wrong, but my guesses:
KU- Big 10
OK and Okie St- Pac 12
Texas- Acc
KU- Big 10
OK and Okie St- Pac 12

Overall point being the conference will last as long as ESPN wants it to.

I know this is the CFB thread, but how does college hoops factor into all of this? As weak as they may be in FB, the Big XII is typically a pretty strong basketball conference.

Most CBB programs don't generate nearly as much revenue as CFB does, so outside of maybe Kansas and Iowa St I'm not sure there would be much consideration given as to how that would work. It seems like a natural fit for Kansas to go to the Big 10 though if that isn't the case.

They currently have no incentive to do so.

They will when the ACC Network launches. Some think that the money generated from the network will finally push their football team to join the conference.

If KU doesn't get its act together soon football wise we could be on the outside looking in when the Big 12 explodes. I will have to double check this but I also seem to remember that the state of KS requires that KU and KSU stick together...

I really don't get Texas/Oklahoma's goal with holding the B12 by the balls? They know that they're going to eventually leave, are they just trying to maximize contract $ while making sure that the conference is dead when they decide to bounce? Being proactive seems like it would've been the best move.

I'd bet they go the BYU route before joining the P12

Texas would probably be best off going independent. They already have their own network. Going independent would allow them to schedule nationally and further expand their brand

They'd have to find a another conference for their Olympic sports. There's no guarantee that a Big XII is still going to be around after they split. If LHN was actually a success something like that would probably be feasible, but it's not.
Politically maybe, but I don't think there is anything legally binding that the two have to be together. The same goes for KU and KSU.
They are already getting a cut though by being a partial member aren't they?
The big money boosters are never going to let it happen. ND was basically on the alter with the B1G in the late 90's and the boosters threw a huge **** fit. I doubt their attitudes have changed since.
