As it sits, you can look at the conference schedule for the next decade, and there is literally only one game per year that you can expect with any degree of certainty to have national appeal. That is OU/Texas. (Frankly, that game has been a turd most years.) Just adding Florida State would immediately triple the number of games with national appeal.
The Big 12, in my scenario, could be fat and happy for 12 years, or they can be simply full and secure for decades.

All I'm saying is, Fox is going to determine what we do either way. There's a myth out there that "Bevo" controls the conference. Untrue. Fox does.
