Big 12 should pick up Tulane, SMU, Houston and also Memphis for basketball.
Just add Tulsa and we'll kick out WV and all the northern schools and we can have a revamped Southwest Conference!.....never going to happen.
These programs don't bring in enough money. Only big time football schools bring in the dough. That's what realignment is all about....TV sets. Houston, if it could ever become more than a commuter campus and tapped in a significant majority of the Houston population would have a shot.....but it's a long shot.
BYU, Florida State, Virginia Tech, NC State, Clemson are legitimate options. The Big XII should swing for the fence. Maybe settle for Georgia Tech or UCF if one of the above doesn't come along. Anything less than the programs would be a serious downgrade from losing Nebraska (one of the biggest brands/fan bases in college football) and A&M.
(Notice I didn't include Mizzou or Colorado. Nobody cares they moved on.)

Think the Big XII should go after Air Force?
