If history repeats itself like it's done pretty much lock step so far, then further attrition out of the B12 would require backfill. Then we're all in the same conference again, which will be called something like the United States Conference. Probably need to come up with a hashtag now like #United5tatesPower to get away from the G6 stigma.

For sure, that's what I'm saying. I don't think the Big 12 is going to add anyone else unless it completely fractures (like the Big East did).

What's your definition of completely fracture? What if, for instance, WVU and Kansas went to the ACC? Holding tight at 10?

I can see big12 expanding further to stay at 14, but I think the AD’s will just wait for ACC schools to start jumping ship. No one is going to the ACC, their tv deal is 17 million through 2036 and are locked in a GOR. BIG is about to sign a 71 million dollar deal per school. Big12 may indeed add schools if pac12 expands into Tx but that isn’t happening.

The ACC has a GOR problem, that they’ll either break it somehow or wait until it’s over. None of the ACC schools will leave for Big12, the Big12 has a problem of not having big name anchor schools.
