East-
Pitt
West Virginia
UCONN
South Florida
Syracuse
Rutgers

West-
Kansas
Kansas State
Iowa State
Missouri
Louisville
Cincinnati

And still being in an Auto BCS league.

Not sure how that works out for cable networks but on DISH you could watch more than one game at a time on the bigten network.

The best case for the Big 12 (now 10) would be for Texas and the rest of the remaining teams to stay in the league--and for the league to look at adding two more teams. Memphis and Louisville would make nice adds, imo.

I assume the Pac-10 would then add Utah--and all the talk of expansion would be over for a little while.

FWIW, though, I don't think that is what is going to happen. I think these four 16 team superleagues want to take a bigger share of the pie.

This isn't accurate, as best I can tell. Yes, Mizzou has been linked to the Big 10 in the media, but this doesn't seem to have been driven by soundbites from anyone connected to MU itself.

Someone within Mizzou coming out and basically saying "yeah we're interested" would have gone way beyond "flirting" and into deep the realm of "shamelessly throwing yourselves at them". Congratulations, Mizzou had some amount of pride and restraint during the fiasco. We still didn't see much in the way of denial until recently.

It's on Direct TV now but as I recall I only got one station. Not a tier of games. Hope that changes once the games start next year.

Congratulations? Give me a break.

Yeah, it's absolutely shocking that a university that isn't one of the holders of power within the conference would be willing to listen to an offer that could benefit the university, state, and city of Columbia.

Shocking.
