No offense meant to William and Erik but I now don't know where this thread should go so I've stuck it here.
It should be expected that today or tomorrow, the Big 12 will issue a statement about how thrilled all its member schools are with the conference, that none have spoken with anybody about leaving and they wouldn't do so even for 72 virgins or 40 acres and a mule. WHEN, not if, you read that, don't be fooled. See below:

The writing has been on the wall since Art Garfunkel told Paul Simon he would never again perform "The Sounds of Silence" that just as is the case with the Big East, the members of the Big 12 are as faithful to their conference as Jesse James has been to Sandra Bullock.
So if as I suspect Nebraska and Missouri bolt for the Big Ten, in my less than humble opinion, Young Borg U would be nuts to accept an offer as a replacement. So nuts that I don't see the Borg accepting such an offer since unless the Big 12-2 then merges with the Pac-10, it's going to fall apart. (Of course, if Texas and aTm join Nebraska and Mizzou in the Big Ten, the Big 12 will be as good as dead, anyway.)
