I cannot imagine a scenario where Cincinnati and Louisville would say no to the Big XII. Not unless they had to give all their television revenue to Texas. Which may not be that far out of the realm of reality.
Where is it decreed that 16 teams is a reasonable goal? Conferences exist to serve the member schools. Most of this 12-team stuff exists so that you can put together a reasonable conference championship game.
The last conference to try and go with 16 was the old WAC. That didn't last long. They did have an interesting idea with the rotating sub-division concept, though. You had three permanent opponents, and the rest of your schedule rotated through the other three subdivisions.
I think 99% of what we're hearing this week is bloggers trying to make a name for themselves. The rest is Texas A&M having a temper tantrum, and it may or may not be sent to time out.
