The rest of the Big 12 without OU/UT is just about screwed on the money. Only KU and IS have the academics to even be considered by the Big 10. The PAC doesn't need to expand; although they could take TTU, OSU and 2 others if they wanted. Baylor and TCU have little hope with their religious affiliations, even if the perception exceeds the reality. WVU is on a island and the ACC turned them down before.
My guess is the neither the Big 10 or PAC do anything initially as neither have to. Regardless, whatever ends up being left in the Big 12 will probably duke it out with the American one way or another in order to form what probably would end up being the 5th best conference. The TV contract would not rival any of the other 4 major conferences, but it probably will be much higher than any other mid-major conference out there.
