Now that the chips appear to be falling with Mizzou and Nebbish, I would love to see the following:
The Pac extends it's invitation to the six schools. CU accepts, UT hesitates. UT is the king of the Big 12 hill. With CU, MU, and NU all gone, it's even stronger. It figures it can replace those three teams with a combination of BYU, TCU, Memphis, Houston, SMU, Rice and just keep chugging along in the Big 12, which is what it wants to begin with.
Then CU and UU go to the Pac, which is what we all really wanted in the first place.
