247 Sports insider Jeremy Clark reported last night that TCU, Baylor, Oklahoma State, and Texas Tech have already reached out to the Pac 12 to gauge interest. This makes the most sense for those four teams.
This move could bring the PAC 12 to 16 teams with a two division alignment and greatly expand it's fan base and foot print.

I read on line that the ACC was looking at Some of the remaining Big XII schools as well but it did not mention those schools by name. And Big XII Commish Bowlsby had a Cease and Desist Order issued to ESPN for trying to break up the conference. Don't know how true any of this is but it's out there.

They have been after WV for some time.

My guess... TCU, K-State and Baylor to the AAC WVU to the ACC Iowa St and Kansas to the Big 10 Tech and Okie State to the PAC 12 I follow quite a bit of TCU news and therefore their thoughts about the upcoming changes. They are fairly confident about TCU, Tech, OSU and Baylor heading west to the PAC 12 or they wouldn't be semi public. Nothing certain but I would be very surprised if TCU went to the AAC. A lot of money for and against involved so anything could happen.

The only thing thrown out there is the PAC 12 isn't too inclined toward religious institutions because of scheduling conflicts. That's what kept BYU from joining. The other side of the coin is both TCU and Baylor are losley affiliated with their denominations. In other words Baylor allows dancing and booze on their campus where maybe in once upon a time it was frowned upon....LOL . Both don't have the issues playing on Sunday for their non football sports unlike BYU.

Would love to see TCU and Baylor wind up in the same Conference with U of H, Rice and SMU. There were some old rivalry's that went by the wayside years ago that would also be fun to revive.
