When you have a choice to avoid that situation, you want to avoid it.

I have a difficult time understanding how 12 members is less clunky than 11 for the Big East.

The only advantage of 11 schools is that with the move of some conferences to a 20 game conference schedule, 11 schools can still play a complete double round robin. Obviously, however, a schedule for an 11 school conference will have to include constant byes. Hence the clunkiness.
