Gosh, they could call it something catchy like... oh, I don't know... how about: The Southwest Conference?

Heh, we might come to that.

If the Pac 10 and Big 12 form the Big 22 then the other conferences might combine as well in order to compete with them. Maybe we might end up with two giant conferences like we have in the NFL. Therefore, we might get our big Playoffs after all, a Superbowl for the NCAA football teams...
