Big 12 expansion?

“We could be proactive [in conference alignment], I think,” Bowlsby said.

The dominoes could start tumbling again if the Big Ten once again raided the ACC. That would create instability that could lead to this scenario: Clemson and Florida State calling the Big 12.

Expansion will be among the issues discussed at the next conference meetings Jan. 28-29 in Dallas.

CBSSports.com also reported that a 12-team Big 12 that played a conference championship game would get only $700,000-$1 million more per school per year. Bowlsby reiterated Wednesday that he supports doing away with an NCAA bylaw that requires conferences to have 12 teams to stage a league championship game.

At the moment, Big 12 schools cash TV rights revenue checks for approximately $20 million per year. One industry source said the league could be making as much as $30 million per school in 2014, the first year of the playoff.

What's funny to me is that for all of the potential instability of the ACC, performance-wise it's not suffering much at all, if at all. Louisville-for-Maryland is an upgrade, in my view. Cincinnati and Connecticut for Virginia and Georgia Tech strikes me as lateral. It's only if they lose Florida State and Clemson that they are going to suffer significantly.

Reminds me of another conference whose initials include "A" and "C".

I would disagree with that assessment. But it depends on how the incoming schools do.
