If Missouri goes, expect the dominos to fall big time.
It is not on hold, The Big 12 is just watching a couple senators throw hissy fits.
It will end with both Louisville and WV to join the Big 12 and BYU will come around and make it 12, after Missouri heads off to a future similar to what Colorado is seeing in the PAC 12.
Honestly, all this movement is making me lose interest in the product on the field. I almost want to see a return to the good old days of no national title game and corruption and deciet amongst the bowl selection cmte.
From Joe Schad:
WVU says it will begin play in Big 12 next season

LAAAAAAME!

BYU won't join the Big 12 unless they go to 12 teams (and they aren't at the moment).
Also, yes, Texas runs the Big 12. What's new?
@KegsnEggs
To pay for WVU's BE exit fee, sources tell me the school is sending Dana Holgorsen to Atlantic City for a blackjack session.
Welcome aboard WV, I guess. I really do prefer a more regional conference, even if that means taking in an SMU or a Tulsa.
So besides the Big East (at least when it comes to a football conference) essentially replacing the Big 12 as the conference on the chopping block, nothing has changed. The Big 12 picks up WVU, but is going to lose Missouri, so everything is still exactly the same as it was yesterday, just a different team, and one farther away.
I still think we are watching a future Big 12 matchup tonight with BYU @ TCU.
It is time to move back to regional conferences. I really wish the NCAA could step inh and say enough is enough.A picture from Kegs N Eggs' website:

Report: Big East extends six invites
The Big East Conference will invite Boise State, Navy and Air Force for football only and SMU, Houston and Central Florida for all sports, a source with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press.
The conference's member presidents, meeting in Philadelphia, voted unanimously Tuesday to extend invitations to football-only and all-sports members. Commissioner John Marinatto declined to name the schools being targeted.
Sad that 2/6 teams are actually in the East. Three of the other four should be considered for the Big 12, though it'd be acceptable if they all went/stayed MWC.
Good lord. We already have the "We can't fucking count" conference in the Big 10. And now we're about to have the "We call ourselves the Big East, but half our teams are located west of the Mississippi" conference.
