combination isn't going anywhere for a while. They are "committed" to the Big 12 now, Committed until the Pac-12 decides the time is right or until Texas figures out that no conference wants to deal with that pesky Longhorn Network.
For now, the Big 12 is still breathing. It was just another round of realignment chaos and another false alarm. Missouri was rumored to have an SEC invite according to ESPN, but only if the Big 12 collapsed. The Tigers are still in the fold and it appears the conference will try to expand. BYU makes the most sense as the 10th member.
My only advice for BYU: Don't unpack your bags.

"We didn't care if we went to different schools" Kara said. "But as the process got further along, we decided we did want to play together. We've played together our whole lives, so it was kind of important that we went to the same school."
But as they approached their decision, the reality of separation began to weigh on both of them.
Kara said she knows her sister can play great volleyball when called upon.
"Anyone who comes off the bench like Amy did is going to have great success.

and always in a good mood, and Kara is a little more intense." Riley said. "That is definitely how you can separate them on the volleyball court."
"Whenever we're having a bad day, we're there for each other." Amy said. "Whenever we're having a good day, we're there to congratulate each other."

However, Oklahoma's sights now seem to be solely on improving the Big 12.
Boren said in a statement issued Tuesday night that even though Oklahoma didn't apply for membership to the Pac-12 this year, Oklahoma's leaders have developed a positive rela-
