Here's my take...FWIW
1 What if the Pac12 can get Texas and or Oklahoma into the conference? Do all the conferences stay at 14 or do they expand to 16?
TX and OU will never go PAC unless the PAC were to do 20 teams

2 If BYU gets left out, do they stay independent?
Yes, or they drop sports altogether

3 What happens to MWC if the P5 G5 gap continues. Is it sustainable as a football conference?
Doubtful, the TV money in the next round will be about fan bases....no such thing in the MWC

4 If all P5 conferences go to 16, which schools get taken? With ND in the mix, there are only 9 slots. Someone is going to get left out. Is it Baylor, Iowa State, TCU?
Very doubtful anybody gets left out, certainly none of the fringe P5 schools think they will

5 What if the other P5 conferences would rather take Connecticut, Cinci, or Houston over other B12 schools, or if stronger conferences like the B10 or SEC are able to raid better schools from the ACC and/or PAC12? Would this be good for BYU?
Nobody is going to raid the ACC with their GOR and the ACCN about to come on board. Now having the BIG raid the PAC would be
good for BYU IMHO

6 Who does the PAC12 take if Oklahoma or Texas aren’t available? Would Boise State ever be appealing to the PAC12?
Nobody, BSU won't be in the mix

7 If the Big 12 folds, do any of the schools go G5? Would BYU then move to the MWC or AAC?
No, it is an autonomous conference and has two votes in the CFP....it might end up being a second tier P5 like the PAC

8 Would the Left out B12 school try to keep the B12 conference alive by creating a “New” B12 and by raiding the best of the G5 like the Big East tried to do? Would good G5 school move? Would BYU be interested in joining? Would the other schools, in this current political and cultural environment, be willing to take BYU?
Yes, it is about fan bases and if the B12 had really been serious last time, BYU would have been in under the radar of the LGBT. No
conference is going to do that stupid dog and pony show again.

9 If the best of the G5 conferences create a Super G5 Conference (and become the SEC of the G5 world), who would be included and would a depleted MWC survive?
You can't create a new conference and have autonomy, votes in the CFP and standing with the NCAA...

10 What if a conference, like the Big 10, grows to 18? Does the other conference attempt to grow also? Would the stronger Conferences raid the PAC12 and ACC along with the Big 12?
More likely that the BIG raides the B12 and then the PAC.....same for the SEC. The leftovers would create another conference. If I were
the ACC I would be creating a Western Division right now with BYU, Houston, Cincy, Uconn and ND and create the first nationwide
Super conferece. They would probably get the blessing of ESPN on this IMO

11 What happens if the TV money implodes in the next round of playoff? Will conference look to downsize and get rid of dead wood?
TV money goes up, but is spread across multiple vendors...if they really want to make money they do collective bargaining.

Why would you ever be trying to have an intelligent conversation with a Ute? You wouldn't
