If the legislation passes, there's less than a 50% chance of imminent change<a href="http://www.campusrush.com/big-12-conference-questions-future-expansion-1528668401.html#">http://www.campusrush.com/big-12-conference-questions-future-expansion-1528668401.html#</a>Notice it doesn't say theres NO chance of change in the form of expansion, just that it won't be imminent.  Why are you so determined to pretend it isn't on the minds of the conference and they aren't strongly considering expansion?</blockquote>
