Very loose definition of "worth" you're running with there.
Even then, LOL at UT ever associating itself with a bunch of directional and/or city schools. The only school with any true value on that list is UConn, and that just makes ZERO sense, logistically. The Big 12 would become even more of a laughing stock.
I've said it before, UT and OU couldn't care less about Baylor and TCU being left out. They (UT and OU) know that if they are 12-0/11-1 and on the verge of being in the top 4, they won't ever be left out. That's all that matters, and is the reason the Big 12 WON'T expand. The Baylor's and TCU's will suck it up, because:
1) They don't want to divide their money another 1 or 2 ways among schools that bring zero value (see the AAC and MAC contracts for confirmation of that fact, so all you smarks that wish to think otherwise, recognize that your school did nothing to up our crap contracts), and..
2) They know all that's keeping them out of the AAC/G5 is UT and OU's willful participation in that conference. If/when UT and OU bolt to the PAC and/or B1G, the Big 12 ceases to exist.
