Will the Big 12 add teams?

With Texas and Oklahoma on their way out the door, the Big 12 is almost on life-support.

A decade ago, they dropped down to 10 teams after Missouri and Texas A&M left for the Deep South tailgate parties, and now they’re losing their two most valuable programs.

The eight remaining teams aren’t enough to remain a “power conference,” but it looks like they might be able to cut their losses by replacing the Sooners and Longhorns with some quality brands.

The Lubbock Avalanche-Journal reported Friday “at least 15 schools” are interested in joining the Big 12, per a CBSsports article.
