Big East and Big 12 conference and school officials have been exploring ways to merge their embattled leagues, but talks have centered on an arrangement in which what's left of the Big East schools would blend into the Big 12, and not vice-versa, multiple Big 12 sources told ESPN.com's Andy Katz.

The sources said that if Texas, Oklahoma, Texas Tech and Oklahoma State were to leave the Big 12 and the five remaining schools do not have an opportunity to join the ACC, SEC or Big Ten, the Big 12 would move to absorb remaining Big East schools -- not the other way around.

Boards of regents from Oklahoma and Texas voted Monday to give their presidents the right to choose a new conference, though Texas' regents still held the right to give a final approval.

Lol! Why not just have one superconference and call it the Big SEC?

Let me see, a Big 12 of:

Baylor
Kansas
K. State
Iowa St.
Cincinati
UConn
DePaul
Georgetown
Louisville
Marquette
Providence
Rutgers
St. Johns
St. Johns
South Florida
Villanova
West Virginia  (I see them going to the ACC)

This bunch of stiff gets an automatic BCS Bowl?

Good point.  Does everyone have to play St. Johns twice?

I don't see this merger happening.  Some of these wallflowers are going to get their feelings hurt.
