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.
