Iowa St.-BIG1G/MAC
WVU-ACC/SEC
OU+UT+OSU-PAC-12/SEC
If the rest of the conference stays together after KU, OU & UT leave; they not only collect exit fees, they also keep all of the Men's Hoops credits that the departing institutions earned which is OU & KU's case is
ACC does not want WVU, the 12 PAC will not take Texas schools w/o UT or OK schools w/o OU. Nobody would want ISU or KSU.
The conference should stay together and add
1) BYU football only. Largest private U to play FBS football and one of the 5 largest in the Western US
2) SDST football only. By far the largest university in the MWC and the best overall athletic program. Won the MWC football championship this past year and with the Chargers leaving for LA, their attendance will increase and even more if they join a P5 conference. SDST is the 3rd largest FBS university in California only a few hundred behind Berkeley.
3) Either UCF or USF, gets the B12 into the FLA recruiting market. UCF has the largest undergrad enrollment in the entire Southeastern US. USF is the 4th largest in the AMerican but only 100 behind Houston and 1K behind Temple.
Could add Wichita State for hoops to have an even number of basketball programs.
Adding these 3 would mean the new Big 12 the only P5 conference with programs in Florida, Texas & California (football only); including the largest SoBapCon FBS university, the largest Private FBS U in the nation, the largest Disciples of Christ FBS U, the largest FBS U in the Southeastern US and the #6 & #7 largest FBS universities in the Western US. Not a bad place to be.
