"In this setup, let’s exclude Baylor just to be spiteful and include Utah, a relatively recent addition of the Pac-12."
I appreciate them excluding Baylor.
"It might be wise to roll the dice on a 16-team move instead of waiting for the next conference realignment domino to fall."
Indeed.

It's really kind of amazing how Larry Scott effectively lost his job the first month on it when Texas wouldn't join the Pac expansion effort he pushed because it thought the Longhorn Network was sacrosanct Had that move happened, the Pac-12 Network would have been on DirecTV without any question, the conference revenues would have ballooned, and he'd likely still have his job.
I wonder if Texas would now reconsider, because that school is the domino that must fall for it to happen. If Texas is in, it will happen, IMO.
