That may well be true, since they can't expand without the support of their broadcasting partner(s).

Opinion as to whether or not they will expand beyond 16 seems to be ~55% or 60% no, 40% or 45% yes in the poll. One could imagine it going either way. It may depend on whether the network thinks it can generate enough additional revenue by adding more members, or not.

A related question (which may be discussed in multiple threads) is whether or not there will be a merger of conferences, or something similar, such as what happened when the SWC imploded and 4 SWC schools joined the Big 8, making it into the Big 12.
