Nobody outside the P5 has the financial value of UConn, with the possible exception of BYU.  And, if a conference has or wants a conference network, UConn would add the most value in both subs and content.  All that said, the Big 12 and UConn are not a good fit.

Personally, I think the Big 12 stays at 10 teams as they want to see how the playoff plays out for a few years before they panic into expansion especially since the choices are not that attractive and they give up so much if they expand.  Think about it, every team in the Big 12 plays each other every year.  Are they really interested in replacing annual games with Texas and Oklahoma with games with schools like Memphis, Cincinnati, BYU...  In addition, if the playoff is going to increase to 8 teams down the road with automatic bids for each P5 conference champ, why expand?

Also, the 2 traditional powers of the Big 12, Texas and Oklahoma, were down this year.  If Texas or Oklahoma were 11-1, they probably would have been included int he playoff as the Playoff Committee has some bias towards traditional football powers.
