Baylor?
They wouldn't get a P5 spot other than big 12.

Rutgers is a fine university. Well-respected research institution that is ranked No. 64 among World Universities by ARWU and No. 50 by CWUR. No need to drag them down.

Out of the Big 12, only OU, Kansas and UT would be slam dunks for P5 slots.
Iowa State (AAU), and maybe OSU and T Tech as OU/UT tag-alongs would be next.
Of the 4 TExas privates, the Big 12 has, institutionally, the 2 weakest.

Baylor to the B1G would just be the B1G's way of getting into Texas. It increases the conference's brand significantly by doing to. That map would be something to behold

Going to 18 and adding Kansas, OU, Baylor and GT would be fricking huge.

Please- Big 12 would take Rice (and several other Texas schools) over Baylor in a heartbeat....

What we know is true is:

They want new markets(states)
Can only add states bordering current B1G states
AAU is a huge factor(all B1G schools are except NU and they were once in the AAU)
