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
— you must live in a nice world because that isn't happening.

Then again, the remaining schools could sing "Kumbayu" 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.

"He's got a really unique sense of humor," Grove said, "He doesn't
always try to be funny but he is way funnier than he thinks he is."
"As far as from a golf stand point he's a really good putter," Grove said. "His biggest strength is definitely his putting. He also has a really great attitude, which is very important to the game of golf."
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.
In addition to his sense of humor, Catt also brings key golf skills to the KU golf team.
"He is from Kansas and I saw
him play a hand full of times in high school and I was actually quite happy to give him a spot on the team during his senior year of high school."
Catt played high school golf for Shawnee Mission Northwest being named to the All Metro golf team as a junior and senior. He also broke a 30-year-old school record by shooting a 5-under-par 62 as a junior.
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.
