and fox are making a huge push to keep the conf from expanding past 12. I expect the conf to add two teams after all is said and done. I believe BYU is #11 and the holdup is deciding on #12

Yeah I get the pessimism based on prior experience

(UA/ASU) - I missed that somehow. That'd be cool for the Big 12.

But, it would show interest in building West.

Interesting... Where have you heard that ESPN & Fox are pushing for 12?

Once terms are finalized with BYU, they'll announce, no need to hold up for #12

possibly...but there is a chance that the conf loses negotiating power with #12
