Will conference expansion resurface?

Will one conference or team start the dominoes falling for conference expansion again this year?
If so which conference would it be, and would other conferences join in? Does the SEC look stable for this year?

Nothing will change with the SEC until the Big10 appears to go to 14-16

Unless another conference collapses, there is no room to expand much. The Big12 has to have some desire to move to 12 teams and the Big East is still small. There aren't but maybe 2-3 teams left worthy of adding to BCS conferences.
The real question is will the age of great non BCS teams go away now that Utah, TCU, and soon maybe Boise are joining BCS conferences

I think conference expansion will resurface in time. The Big East sits at 9 football playing members with the addition of TCU. Do they add 3 more members to get to 12 members and add a conference championship game? If they do they will likely pick schools from C-USA and C-USA then has to replace members and will look to the WAC and the Sunbelt for new members.
The other variable may be the Big 12 and whether they are happy at 10 or not. Who will they add? Would they extend an invite to Arkansas?
Time will tell.

Conference expansion will resurface when the Big 12 moves to renegotiate its TV deal only to find that it can't get the money that it promised its individual members
