I would say the end game for both schools is the ACC and / or the B-10. If the B-12 stays together and expands UCONN and CINN should be putting on a full court press to get into the B-12 with WV adding Midwestern and NE TV viewers to the next TV contract. So what if UCONN becomes the island school. They play 2 teams in Florida and 3 teams in the Texas / Oklahoma area now for a lot less money. B-12 North - UCONN, CINN, WV, Iowa ST., Kansas, K-State. B-12 South - Texas, Oklahoma, OK State, TT, Baylor, TCU. Brand name football programs in the South with Texas and Oklahoma and brand name basketball programs in the North with Kansas and UCONN.

If the B-12 blows up with Texas and Oklahoma leaving with or without a couple of more schools, then the remaining schools from the B-12 schools and the AAC merge under the B-12 Brand name. But first you would have to see how many B-12 schools would leave to see how many AAC schools would merge into the B-12.
