And if 4x16 is the case, its going to be a lot more than UCONN who might be on the outside looking in.

I don't think 4x16 is necessarily the case at all. Pac 12 a HUGE reason why.

Why because they don't want to print up new shirts?
Scenario: Pac12 and Fox sit down at a table and they mutually decide they want a big piece of the Southwest / TX market.
They throw an ungodly amount of $ on the table and Texas, Oklahoma, Baylor and Texas Tech join up. Pac 12 becomes Pac 16. Not so outlandish of a thought these days.

And, there is a Texas size ego that will not allow it to move unless on its own terms, and I don't see UCLA, USC or most other schools of the P12 accepting Texas's terms. Do you think the other PAC12 schools would let it keep its Longhorn channel? What incentive does OU have for going elsewhere? What's it going to get from the P12 that it doesn't have now (and fewer teams to compete against)? The committee has shown that it will take a one-loss BigXII champion without a conference championship game. So, no real incentive there. And, fewer teams to divvy up shares. More realignment may come, but it I don't see any way it starts with a Texas or any other Big XII team moving elsewhere. If anything, I could see them going after Cincinnati or even Louisville to try to grab some of the televisions in that part of the country.
