I don't think it's premature to say if the Big 12 does fold, but when. Nebraska and Colorado are gone, Oklahoma, Oklahoma St., Texas, and either Texas Tech or Texas A&M seem to be the 4 going to the Pac-10, so what are you left with? Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas St., Missouri, Baylor and either Texas Tech or A&M as your conference? Who are you going to pull in to replace all of those teams? And it's going to be a stronger conference? Nope. The Big 12 is toast. It was toast as soon as Notre Dame turned down the Big 10.
