If conference stays at 9, TV contracts are in jeopardy because they are based on guarantee of 10 teams. Half the conference is going to wish they were somewhere else.
But no one is going anywhere unless the PAC 12, Big Ten or SEC expands. The Big 12 is a welfare couple with 7 kids who can't afford to get divorced.

I'd agree in regards to the 5 year timeframe. It's going to have to be longer than that if they want to piece it together.
As for the teams, it looks like the Mormons want on board.

Oklahoma has always said it had to be 12 teams for them to stay. We'll see if they stick to that demand.
