"What could emerge is a bidding war to see who will take less. Any new members would be phased in to the Big 12, taking something less than a full revenue share for a period of years.
The existing members would pocket the rest until those schools get full shares.

Cincy, Houston, USF, and UCF make the most sense from that list in that order. Expanding to 12 isn't going to add significant markets most likely. Go for 14 and take a risk on getting the I-4 corridor to slice into SEC territory. The Big XII can't just recruit an existing strong athletic program. They have to go for the programs and markets with the most potential.

Can't wait for the excitement of Texas Tech and UCF in basketball.
