I think the Big 12 really needs Nick Saban. He could come in and dominate the Washington Generals for as long as he likes, and still be in a conference that's legitimately major enough to put him in the title game every year if he wins it. No LSUs or Auburns to trip him up occasionally. And having a team in the conference that is a title contender most years would go a long way to trying to establish the Big 12 as a legitimate major football conference again.
He's more or less the governor of Alabama right now, but that might not compare to having your own conference.
