Big 12 has been on the support for at least 12 months and there's not many legitimate options to replace Texas A&M, if and when it leaves.
There isn't a single BCS conference school that would join the Big 12 right now, so remove any ideas of poaching a team like Louisville. And if you think Arkansas would leave the SEC—as I've heard a few Kansas fans mention for geographic reasons
— you must live in a nice world because that isn't happening.
Then again, the remaining schools could sing "Kumbaya" and tell us everything is fine in the heartland. That seemed to work really well last summer.
Other possible replacements wouldn't be worth their share of the television contract. It's a sticky situation, to say the least. A situation that will probably doom the 16-year-old conference.

Catt joined the team as a freshman last year but did not get into the lineup very often because of more experienced upperclassmen. However, Grove has high expectations for him after watching his performance at KU as well as in high school.
"He is from Kansas and I saw

Catt's intelligence was also a draw for the KU golf team. Catt was National Merit Scholar finalist. "He's really, really smart kid," Grove said.
