I honestly don't see the Big 12 going anywhere unless Texas and Texas A&M elect to leave (which I doubt happens). People forget that the current Big 12 tv contract is much smaller than the SEC and Big Ten packages because they elected to make a short term deal due to the fact they couldn't come to an agreement on revenue sharing. If the Big 12 presidents are smart they'll all come to an agreement and either start their own network or sign a long term deal with a cable company. The Big 12 will never make as much as the Big Ten or the SEC, but they have enough pull that they can garner something within range.
