the hope that the Big 12 comes calling? Or at least, is that what most of the fans and administration are thinking? Is that the plan?

I had the impression when this all started that Holmoe et al had a plan and were waiting for things to shake out and to fall into place. Now I am thinking that they are waiting on the lottery and we all know how often that happens (but hey, Utah won it.)

It's a depressing thought, because I don't think it is going to happen. (And that has nothing to do with football and everything to do with religion and location or they would already be in the PAC12.)
