pretty much this. Big 12 is still a much bigger brand name than AAC or MWC. They'll reach out and grab the best MWC and AAC teams and move on. Anyone in here would rather be in a conference with kansas, k state, and other big 12 leftovers than whatever the AAC or MWC looks like in 2024.
AAC will be the new new cusa, cusa will raid sun belt, and sun belt will either fold or find new members from 1-AA.
It depends on if they lose Power 5 status. If the big 12 loses Texas and Oklahoma I don't see them retaining power status. It will get pulled just like the Big East lost their BCS status.
If no Power status I don't see a reason to jump to the leftover Big12.
The BE actually fell apart before losing its status.
The BCS contract had a couple more years to run. 2015 was the first playoff. 2014 was the last year of the BCS. 2013 was the last year of the BE.

This is complete and utter nonsense.
