Texas and Oklahoma are the Big 12s Blue Chips. Nothing is going to change for a long time. A school like WVU/TCU/Baylor/KSU would need a ten year dynastic run to get into the elite level respect.All a new team or teams need to be is no worse than Kansas and preferably Iowa State. Neither schools are powerhouses in football but are something to be reckoned with in basketball. Cincinnati fits that bill nicely and Cincinnati can be a decent football program.Personally I dislike talk of BYU because of their restrictions on scheduling non-football games. They play nothing on Sunday and if I recall, they do not travel on Sunday. That is a headache of sorts and of course they are further west and the Big-12 has to move east. The TVs are east, not west.I know they get almost no attention, but South Miss used to be a giant killer and might be worth a look. I see no reason to go into Florida. Likewise, I do not think any more schools will come out of Texas.I still believe the SEC is going to prey upon the ACC and if they don't the Big Ten is waiting in the wings. If that happens, there be schools bailing from a collapsing Big East 2. Bringing 2 schools like Cincinnati and Southern Miss would get us to 12 and we might grab 4 from a dying ACC in the future.</blockquote>
