Buried deep in the obscure pages of legalese was a time bomb: if during the first 5 years of the CFP the Big XII-IV+II gets 3 or less of the 20 slots, or if the only Big XII team invited is Oklahoma, or both, then Big XII 3.0 gets nuked and reverts back to the old (glorious) Big 8.
Colorado still hates Nebraska (no one can stand Colorado who is like the frat boy who is not as good looking as he thinks he is, but his daddy did give him new BMW), Nebraska hates Oklahoma (who is always looking towards Austin), Okla State hates Okla, Kansas hates Mizzou, Iowa State and Kansas State are still the wallflowers looking around for someone to hate them (but they are stuck forever in the "friend zone" with the rest of the league).
However, TV partners insist: Get us more eyeballs !!
Texas is considered, but several schools threaten to drink cyanide if that happens again. So Bevo gets left out. TCU is allowed to stay, Houston jumps in, Memphis jumps on board, Cincinnati is in (and breathes a huge sign of relief...that is felt all the way to Storrs CT).
TV partners demand: Take us to 14 !!
They long to have the Air Force Academy to give the reborn league some more class and national appeal, but AFA passes. So West Virginia gets to stay. Arkansas flirts with the Big XII hoping it will make the SEC love them more. But in the end UCF rounds out the membership.
This new Big XIV is so good, the face of Keith Jackson was seen smiling in the clouds over Owen Field in Norman OK.
