It would. I just think it will.


Per their bylaws, Big 12 requires 75% super-majority vote to disband and liquidate. Right now that's 8.
With 12, its 9. With 14 it 11.

Texas says no GoR extension with expansion. ISU says no expansion without GoR extension. Texas won't get rolled. ISU probably could get rolled but if they don't, it's a stalemate.

I just don't think it's going to take a whole lot for teams to line up future homes and the remainder being willing to settle. Why burn bridges with the heaviest hitters? ISU is the only school that might even ponder it.

You can bet there are lots of calls going on to Swofford, Delaney, Scott, and Sankey right now...maybe even some from network execs.
