I think it’s possible, on partial shares, if Cal and Stanford manage B1G invites and push them up to 20. B12 at 18 still leaves room to gorge on third-choice ACC schools once the Super-2 take who they want. 18 could also make for a fairly tidy 5-2-2 schedule with 6 team pods.
One school I’d really be eyeing if I were the Big 12 would be UVA. They’ve got the academics for the B1G, but does the latter want to go above 20 schools? Not without a new TV deal imo, and didn’t they just sign one recently?
OSU and Wazzu might get into the Big 12, according to some rumours. We’ll see but it wouldn’t entirely shock me.
