That said, I think Texas is going to have a hard time going independent. Obviously they could pull it off just fine in football, but what about all their other sports? BYU could do it because, frankly, their other sports aren't a big deal, and so placing them in the WCC was a viable solution. What would Texas do with their other sports? Conference USA or the Sun Belt? I have my doubts...
Joining the Pac-12 would make a lot of sense, as would the Big Ten.

I agree. I don't see why the PAC 12 wouldn't go for the 2 most desirable schools that are willing to join as soon as the Big 12 implodes. It doesn't make sense to sit around and end up with last picks on this. They can get to 14 and then wait and see how think the dominoes are going to fall before expanding to 16.
