Expansion hit over the weekend with the Big 12, in panic mode after losing Texas and Oklahoma to the SEC, inviting BYU, Houston, Cincinnati and Central Florida to join.
That means the Big 12 will soon go from a conference focused on the plains and Texas, with a side trip to West Virginia, to one that sprawls from Utah to Walt Disney World.
Losing Texas and Oklahoma was a staggering blow but the Big 12 recovered about as well as it possibly could under the circumstances.
All four schools have had at least reasonable football success and basketball will be just fine.
