Sit comfortably on the sidelines and watch how things unfold. None of the remaining Big 12 schools increase the slice of the pie for the schools in the other A5.

If the Big 12 becomes the Big 8, without the two blue bloods, it is no longer a threat.

If it raids the AAC for, let’s say, Houston and Cincy, those schools will never be OU and Texas so it’s still not a threat.

There s no compelling reason to do anything except issue innocuous statements while they reach for the popcorn.
