Texas is suddenly on the fence. A TV deal in the Big 12 could be close to Pac-10 numbers. Texas' decision will likely carry the support of other schools in Texas and Oklahoma.
Texas A&M appears to be leaning heavily toward the SEC. A meeting at that school will decide Wednesday.
The Mountain West Conference wants Kansas and Missouri. Kansas will likely lobby to keep Kansas State in the mix.
According to people at the school, Kansas prefers the SEC if it could have its way.
I would like to see the Big 12 stay together and invite some neighbors to join, like Memphis, Houston, TCU, or some other teams. The survivors of the Big 12 might be better off without Colorado and Nebraska.
