The Big 12’s not expanding now, but these two will be frequently discussed if it ever does.

Contrary to the writer, no we're not packaged deal. One team has one stuff repeatedly and the other has done nothing and can't get 10k people to show up in their rent-a-stadium. The only reason they'd get invited is if they got caught in the gravity of said hypothetical invite.
... Which is which?
UCF. They own their own OCS. They actually get REAL attendence.
You mean the stadium that is literally falling apart?
Yeah ... that's exactly what the Big XII wants to bring into their conference.

... after a decade of exposure to Central Florida's humidity and other corrosive elements, parts of Spectrum Stadium are now beginning to crumble, according to a new report.
In a study commissioned by UCF over the summer, engineers determined that widespread corrosion on the structure's steel framing has caused significant and costly damage.
"Some of these areas presented immediate life safety concerns because of their degradation and/or location," the report stated.
Correct, and to be fair, I believe UCF is fixing this problem, or has at least started to. I actually like their stadium, unlike some others, who knock it for supposedly being a bounce house.

The decade-old University of Central Florida football stadium is rusted and corroded, with some “immediate life safety concerns,” according to an engineering report that says repairs could cost $14 million.
University officials say they have fixed the worst problems and are weighing long-term plans.
According to the report, which was contracted by the university and completed in August, Spectrum Stadium’s rust problems have affected the structural integrity of the 45,000-seat venue at the university’s main campus in east Orange County, Corrosion affects more than 80,000 square feet of the stadium, it said — four stairways had heavily rusted supports and a potential for “significant section loss” at the time, the TLC Engineering report found. Areas of the stadium’s fireproofing were cracked, corroded and graded “failing.”
Left unabated, this presents a significant loss risk of undermining the structural integrity of the stadium framing,” according to the 455-page report. Rust is so pervasive that it has “progressed to structural damage” in some locations. Maps specified corrosion “hot” spots throughout the stadium, with more concentrated in lower-bowl areas.
