Big XII will remain.

Disagree. IF the conference loses Texas and ATM, they are not finished. They'd quickly bring in Houston and TCU to still cover the TX market. Then they'd go after teams like BYU, La Tech, CSU, NIU, Louisville to eat up as much of a TV market as they could. Yeah, the conference wouldn't be as powerful, but they would probably have a better TV package and likely make more money after the negotiations. I mean, no conference with OU and NU in it is going to be without a BCS bid. That conference right now would be better than the current Big East or MWC (who will have a bid soon enough).

I still believe that Beebe will have the legwork done to present to the conference ADs what they can expect from a new TV contract and a Big 12/Pac 10 network. I think that Nebraska and Mizzou can be convinced to stay. CU, I think would take LESS money to get out of the conference and away from the South schools.

just kill me now.

Couldn't disagree more. TCU has a smaller enrollement than Baylor and Texas and AtM would still dominate in the Dallas and Houston markets.

You really think that brining in LA Tech and Colorado St would make up for the lost TV sets that Texas has

Like it or not, the Big 12 is on life support.

We'll see. I think that there are ways to increase the number of TV sets. The problem is the they won't get the top end money from ABC without UT. Still, if the ACC is getting record money, a Big 12 even without Texas is going to see a decent payday.
