The Big 12 won't exist. And schools like Baylor, ISU, KU, and KSU will get SCREWED. TCU as well.
Why would it require that? The two things don't seem related.

The Big 12 does seem to have a problem in that you have two outsized programs and the eight others don't even have attractive venues. Also, Texas is a good cultural fit for the Big 10, as is Oklahoma for the SEC.
