The Big 12 won't exist. And schools like Baylor, ISU, KU, and KSU will get SCREWED. TCU as well.
The odd thing is the other eight had the votes to expand even without OU and UT. If they get screwed, it will serve them right.

Of course, BYU's leadership screwed up by not changing the Honor Code and by failing to recognize the cultural battle on gays is past, but the Big XII appears to be a highly dysfunctional athletic conference.
