What absolutely floors me is that everyone is talking about the MWC or Big East absorbing the leftovers of the Big 12 instead of the Big 12 expanding to form a fifth megaconference. With Kansas, K-State, Iowa State and either Colorado or Baylor, the foundation of the remainder of the Big 12 is stronger than the Mountain West.

The Big 12 is a better brand too -- why don't those four schools invite BYU, Utah, TCU, Boise State, Houston, Memphis and two other schools to join the Big 12?

It would be a better TV deal, better marketing, and a conference with a BCS bid in the short term and the ability to shoehorn into the megaconference picture along with the Big East.

I don't know why the Big 12 is just giving up, other than they have the worst commissioner in college sports.
