It's going to be one of a few scenarios...

1. To your point, yes, 4-16 team conferences. 

2. If the Big12 stays, WVU to the ACC along with ND and the Big12 is able to backfill 9 programs into their conference to get to 16, it could justify keeping the P5 intact with 5-16 team conferences.

He’s a big stats guy and actually a Longhorn (he often DESTROYS A&M on Twitter and wrote a book about them)

He also predicted UT/OU to the SEC a year ago with the pandemic accelerating the shake up….

however while I would love to see that scenario above….I don’t see that 5th super conference being a P5 conference.

Yeah, no way would it be (It would be an amazing basketball conference though).  Heck, if the reports of the SEC wanting to go to 18 or 20 teams is true, we'd probably be looking at three conferences at most in whatever the successor of the NCAA is going to be.

Will the other P5 conferences try to expand? Could it end up with four 16 team conferences and ND?

There aren’t four move the needle programs Pac12 can add. 
Boise Stare? Just another Washington State in Pac12. 

Look at the remaining Big 12. Who can increase the take home pay of their potential home? 
 

Kansas. Maybe. In there era of conference networks KU hoops has a lot of value. Iowa State and Oklahoma State are pretty good but second fiddles in their states and not a lot of brand name that draws casual viewers. 

Why on earth would PAC-12 or B1G or ACC want to travel to Waco or Lubbock if it isn’t boosting their money? Texas and OU likely represent half the $370 million the Big 12 distributed.

Nobody goes to 16 for the sake of 16. They go there to put more dollars in their pockets.

What happens to Army and Navy? They have to be in the picture somewhere.

The PAC12 needs a rebranding boost and a more competitive persona. If I'm them I'm adding programs and especially Texas programs so it gets us into the state for recruiting purposes. It makes sense. It also makes sense for schools like TT, TCU and even OSU to be panic jump into a new home for the sake of having a new home. For TCU it'd be somewhat familiar territory.

I don't see South Florida and UCF coming to the Big 12 that is a geographic  nightmare for them. I think the best would be to hold TT and TCU for geography and See how UNT can compete..

If the Big XII invites South and Central Florida, they jump at that, just as Houston will.  A major upgrade in conference affiliation trumps geography.

      100% agree and it's a damn shame that the TWO MOST UNIQUE/ICONIC things that we have are barely used to market our product. ICON - Noun 1) special design or visual object representing a quality, type, group, etc.

      Yeah…I’ve seen us in a few different bowl predictions. Not sure it means too much as of right now. Us and UTSA still need one more win.

      A rematch of nUTSAk and TXST in New Mexico seems unlikely to me.

      Construction is finished inside. You can jog laps around the whole concourse to help burn off the calories from the poor quality bad chicken tenders. During preseason games they had all the concessions open and even a full bar concession near the NT Blvd side baseline. To be honest they probably popped all the popcorn during the first game a few weeks ago and will slowly serve it to all of us suckers the rest of the season. And the best food they had, the jambalaya, hasn't been seen in probably 4 seasons. But it's only a 2hr game. Stick a QT taquito in your coat pocket and bring it along if you want "gourmet" concession food. Also, I don't live in Denton and I make pretty much every home basketball game, even during the week. When my office was in Plano you could leave at 6pm and be parked by 6:50. I now leave downtown Dallas, pickup the wife in Plano and head to Denton and still make 7p. And I usually just walk out to the parking garage at 5pm to accomplish all that. If you're looking for better excuses just say the Super Pit seats are uncomfortable.
