If the B12 could get UT buyin, adding BYU & SDST for football only and VCU & Dayton for Hoops & Olympic sports would be a home run.

1) BYU largest private U that plays D1 football huge national fan base
2) SDST, largest U in the MWC in the largsst market, plays in the largest staqdium and the NFL team is leaving town.
3) Dayton puts the Big 12 in Ohio and Dayton is one of the top drawing Non Power conference hoops programs
4) VCU puts the Big12 in VA, gives WVA 2 close rivals in non football sports and is another one of the top draws among non Powere hoops programs, also has the 3rd largest enrollment among D1 programs in the state
