I have had several people ask me for my opinion on how the Big 12 can be saved and I am here to tell you that it cannot be saved. Yes, Big 12 fans don't have to hear from Nebraska fans anymore, so we are rejoicing over them leaving for the Big 10, but Big 12 commissioner, Dan Beebe, has not been trying his hardest to save this Conference. Yes, he saved the Conference last year when Texas was being flirted with the Pac-10, by giving them The Longhorn Network, but he has not been working diligently to get other schools to come join the Big 12. SMU has shown interest, but SMU would be a death wish, Boise State will be nothing without Kellen Moore. All the Broncos are remembered for is beating OU in the Fiesta Bowl back in 2007 and were upset by Nevada last year. Also, Arkansas will not even think of joining the Big 12. Why would Arkansas leave the money Juggernaut that is the SEC? Look, the smaller colleges are going to get left behind and there will be 4 'super' conferences and the small guys will be left in the dust. The Big 12 is done, unless by some miracle, 3 schools can fill the slots of Colorado, Nebraska and Texas A&M, but don't hold your breath.
