Lots of rumors are circulating on the Big 12 boards, particularly the OU boards, that the meeting was canceled today to prevent a motion to disband the conference from coming to a vote.

Who would actually vote for that though?

ATM, OU, OSU... maybe Mizzou? I don't think they could get a majority.

Depends on the possible soft landings.

There's no way that Iowa State or Baylor votes in favor of dissolving the conference.

Texas COULD vote in favor of killing the conference, but it would be highly unlikely because they benefit too much from built-in scheduling and being able to grab conference money in addition to the LHN money.

There's no way that A&M, OU, or Okie State votes against dissolving the conference.

Mizzou and Kansas are wildcards in a way. If they had agreements for where they could go in the event of a conference collapse, they may take them just because they see the B12 circling the drain and don't want to go down with it.

Kansas State's decision would be tied with that of Kansas, as they're a tag-along who could end up with a Big East membership as a result.
