Well, they are trying to be proactive instead of reactive. They don't want to be searching for a 2nd tier conference.

Every university SHOULD be proactive in this instance. It's a dog-eat-dog situation. The situation in the Big 12 clearly demonstrates that.
I think the '2nd tier conference' thing may not be the proper term. As has been stated before, the Big Ten, Pac 10, SEC, and then a merge of the ACC/Big East seem like the likely candidates for 16 team conferences. But I think that the Mountain West and Conference USA are going to be able to pick up some of these remaining schools and put together some pretty competitive 16 team conferences as well. We may still have the 'Big 6' conferences with rearranged teams and a few more teams in a big conference.
