I think the Big 12 expands beyond 12 ONLY if Notre Dame agrees to be a full member in 2016 when their NBC contract runs out. If that happens, Notre Dame will be able to drag in at least one rival, which would probably be Pitt. (WVU is a rival of sorts with Pitt too, so that works)

If you are going to 14, you may as well go to 16 because 14 is awkward as hell to schedule. I think the NCAA is going to lay waste to Miami, and they'll be a smoking crater by this time next year. Miami seems to be on a steep decline in athletics anyway and I've read they don't draw well anymore at the stadium. So, no to Miami. I believe UNC and VPI goes to the SEC, so: out of whats left, I'd say Georgia Tech and Louisville. If one of those 3 schools (after ND) aren't in for whatever reason, maybe a school like Maryland or Virginia could get in there. (not Rutgers)
