well the PAC 10 wanted them in 1994 and they were in serious discussion when Scott wanted to do 16 teams first ....
so you and I may not like it but it's not necessarily moronic to talk about it-
No. It's moronic. Seriously. It's just dumb.
Like it or not, Bailer has a legit athletic department. They won a natty in Women's hoops a few years ago. Their men's hoops team is usually ranked and their football team is ranked as well. They're a legit P5 school whether we want to admit it or not.
yep and don't forget about their new digs ...
Women's basketball definitely doesn't drive the P5 bus.

Sorry if this scenario was already mentioned, but this guy has some potential insight on the situation:
http://frankthetank.me/2015/07/29/big-12-expansion-or-contraction-watch-out-for-oklahoma/
This part seems obvious
He thinks OU makes a lot of sense for B1G. They're basically begging for an invite with their comments recently. And Kansas would make a lot of sense as a partner, just like they they talked about in 2010.
This part's interesting re: Texas
He goes on to explain Texas would only go that route if ND came along, and the fact is Notre Dame actually isn't feeling pressured to join a conference by the playoff system, so it makes that scenario almost a non-starter.

I had never seen this story from the TCU AD on how they got the Big 12 invite. Pure gold and so Texas.
Del Conte admitted, “the pressure of the entire institution was on my shoulders” to join the Big 12. He worked the phones, calling every Big 12 contact he knew. Support within the Big 12 was growing, including at Oklahoma where good friend Joe Castiglione had been encouraging. But Del Conte knew if he didn’t have Texas, he didn’t have a chance.
“I’ve got one shot,” he recounted, “to go see DeLoss.”
It was a quite a visit. Del Conte grabbed a car, a driver and a bunch of reference material, binders, extolling the advantages of TCU and Fort Worth.
“I get up at 8 o’clock in the morning and drive to Darrell K. Royal Stadium. I get to [Dodds’] office. Nine comes around, 10 comes around. I’ve got a GA [graduate assistant] outside waiting for me, by the way. I tell him, ‘Just wait 10 minutes I’ll be back.’ Pretty soon it’s 3:30.
“[DeLoss] comes out and says, ‘Who are you?’ Chris Del Conte, Texas Christian U. He doesn’t hear ‘Chris.’ he hears ‘Del’. ‘Del, let’s go get ourselves a drink and discuss it.’
“We went to a restaurant and had a little libation at 3:30. By the time 8:30 rolls around, we were [into it] pretty good but we got ourselves in a situation. I kept trying to give him my [binders]. He said, ‘I’ve heard enough, Del’ and just walked away.”
Also, our buddy Chipper with some saber rattling this morning. LINK
Sources told HD because the relationship among Texas and OU administrators isn't as close as it used to be, it's becoming easier for Boren to possibly sell a vision to those in his camp that one day may or may not include Texas when it comes to realignment.
That vision could be spearheading the drive to add two schools to the Big 12 or possibly bolting (with Oklahoma State) to another conference (most likely the SEC), sources tell HD.

There are a ****-ton OU and OSU alums in Texas. Probably most especially the big markets like Dallas and Houston. With A&M already in the SEC those markets will become very divided from a TV ratings perspective if OU and OSU went. Whereas they are more sewn up now. What I am thinking is if your the B12 do you want OU on at the same time as UT but on a different channel? Or do you want to stack them so both can be on?
Are these rhetorical questions? Because there's only one smart answer.
Texas.
