1. The Big 12 will be absorbed in about 6 - 7 years unless Baylor's situation blows it up sooner.

2. Not all Big 12 schools will make it into a P conference and there is zero legal reason they should once the current GOR expires. All will find conference homes, but whether those homes are P4 or not remains to be seen.

3. I think the next separation to occur will be a refined and better paid G grouping leaving the lower tier current G5 members. Perhaps we get two enhanced conferences out of this.

4. Once we have a P4 and the enhanced G conferences have bowl tie ins and a playoff of their own we will see the P conference schools form more scheduling alliances and increase the total number of P games to 9 or 10.

5. None of the smallest G conferences will die. But they will be reformed once the top G conferences are enhanced.

All of this of course is just my opinion.
