But hey, this is conference realignment. Shit could blow up tomorrow.

I may be a big 12 fan, but I can't really chalk it up to viability and strength. They may be viable, strong, and long-term stable now, but thats only through the sheer stubbornness of the Texas legislature, and the PAC 12's lack of balls. (The PAC 12 was going to pull the trigger, but they balked only because Texas politicians were going to make Baylor's situation extremely messy. They probably figured the Big 12 would crumble soon enough, and they probably now wish they would have went ahead anyway and worried about the politics and legal issues later).
Add in the ACC's jaw-droppingly stupid, and ultimately fatal, move to add Syracuse instead of WVU, and here we are.
