The Big12 could easily add whomever they want from a non-power 5 conference. The TV executives told them that none of the schools pre-selected would raise TV revenue. Therefore, "the deal is off".

As long as WVU can end up in the ACC or SEC I'm happy
if ESPN and CBS were indicating that adding WVU would significantly raise TV revenue, they would have already received a bid. The SEC will never expand for the sake of expanding. The last expansion came with TV revenue increase garantees . If you are going to split the same pie more ways, you need a way bigger pie.
