Would the Big 12 make an offer to Notre Dame

TCU makes the most sense unless there is a fight to avoid a Texas heavy conference.

A fight from who? The state of Texas + OU already runs the conference.

I don't see it happening, but if you are looking for a reason:

Big Ten shares revenue.
Notre Dame is all about not joining a conference because of the loss of revenue they would see.
Big 12 does not share revenue.
Notre Dame could maintain current level of revenue and have the benefits of a conference tie-in.

Big 12 does not share revenue.

The Big 12 does share revenue, just not all of it. I'm pretty sure the Bowl game and NCAA basketball tournament money gets split evenly among all the schools. I think it is only the regular season TV appearance money that doesn't get shared. Even then there might be a small percentage of it that is split but maybe not.

Isn't there already a thread comparing academic institutions? Have you seen some of the lightweights in the Big 12? NO WAY ND would join.
