My guess is: the P5 will not add any school unless there is a need. If two or more schools suddenly left the Big-12, some schools would be added. Otherwise, probably none.

Possibly, the reason there is a stand-off is there are some no votes on adding BSU as a full member. Aresco is a negotiator. He is not making the decision demanding football only. BSU will not be added if that is true.

Expansion is basically a done deal. All that's left to do is to figure out the # of teams the format and the $$$. Under this scenario Texas nor Oklahoma aint going nowhere. Why would they? They would have one of the easiest p5 paths to the playoffs every year. Expansion is effectively dead. However I'm ok with that as long as Aresco and company have an expansion plan to maximize our place in the new system. On a side note I wonder if we add BYU, Boise and SDSU if they can get espn to amend our current TV deal to the 10 million per price that they were offering if we would've signed a gor.
