I'd pray the Big 12 rejects BYU for whatever reason (rape cover up allegations, Sunday play, church school weirdness, whatever) and that the Big 12 opts for CFU instead. Then instead of west and east you could have a north and south, like this:
North: OU, oSu, KU, KSt, ISt, Cincy, UConn
South: Tech, TCU, BU, TX, UofH, WVU, UCF
I think that would be a better distribution of current and historical prowess. It would also keep tradition Big 8 schools with traditional Big 8 schools and traditional SWC with traditional SWC schools. But with interesting new friends.
And you could have permanent cross-divisional games.
