If Texas wants to stay at 10, is expansion & movement over for now ?

“We could expand to some number,” Dodds said. “You name the number — 12, 14, 16. We could expand but the question is ‘do we need to expand?’ In my mind, 10 is perfect because you play everybody in football and there is a double-round-robin in basketball.”

They do not want to seem too eager to want more teams. If the right school came along I believe Big 12 will take them in a heart beat.

"We do not need to expand, except for the fact that we are the frickin' BIG 12."

I think FSU to the Big12 is inevitable, and honestly how can you blame them? If we go to 4 super conferences they are in a good spot in the Big12. Clemson would be smart to join. The ACC and Big East will be on the outside looking in. Poor Boise State - should have pushed for the Big12 instead of the Big East...not as much travel and a guaranteed "BCS" league or whatever comes next. WVU should be really happy right now. If you're not in the big four you're on going to get shut out in the next 6-10 years.

Conference realignment is stupid.

Money and ego driven. Affect of athletes, fans, and school is of no importance.

The Big 12 was never going to invite Boise.
