It appears the Big 12 has dodged the fatal bullet with The Texas Longhorns and four other schools declining an invite to the PAC 10.
So what does this mean, I suspect for the time being the Big 12 will remain intact and will seek out two other schools to fill the void left by the departure of Colorado and Nebraska.
Where will they look? My best unqualified guess is they may go shopping in the Mountain West Conference.
TCU would be an excellent fit for the Big 12, they have solid academics and a very strong football program. Geographically they are a natural for the conference and I do believe if offered they would jump.
BYU the flag sip of the Mountain West is is my second choice that might be offered the opportunity to move up to an AQ conference, although Utah with two BCS appearances and strong wins over BCS opponents, Pittsburg 2004 and Alabama in 2008, they make a strong case for being selected to the Big 12.
Now all we can do is play the wait and see game as the musical chairs of college football continues to play out.
The one thing that is certain, the Big 12 is safe, for now.
