This is going to happen. Sadly, every other big conference will see the Pac 10 at 16 teams and want to do the same. I think the Big 12 is finished and whatever members are left over if any will be on their own after the raids. Pac-10 will be the first to expand to 16, Big 10 will likely gobble up the remaining North members, and SEC will expand to 16 by raiding the ACC, likely Florida State/Clemson/Miami/Georgia Tech. ACC gets all Big East football teams and the Big East Conference folds and the basketball only members form their own basketball conference. Mountain West expands to 12 by adding Baylor, SMU and Boise State, assuming all Big 12 North schools apart from Colorado get snatched up by the Big 10.
Under this scenario, there are 5 mega conferences of 16 teams, which decided to end the BCS and come up with something even more exclusive and horrible, leaving the MWC out to dry again.
I don't think the B1011 wants Iowa State or K-State.
