They'll go back to 12 eventually to satisfy the XII name now that TV money won't be such a big factor.

I'm not sure if the PAC will look at the XII situation and try to capitalize or just feel like they've moved up the pecking order of conferences with UT/OU leaving.

At the moment I think the XII will add 4 (UCF, UC, UH, UM) with 12 as the objective instead of more losses to other power conferences. It could be 2 initially in the next 6 months and then another 2 selected in 2023 to time up with the conclusion of the media deal.
