What sort of impact will the Big 12's snub by the CFP have on future recruiting? Top players want to play in big time games and compete for the national championship, and I have to believe there are at least a few players whose decisions will be influenced by last weekend's events. If they're convinced that the path to a title will be that much more difficult at a Big 12 school, they could decide to go elsewhere. Even a CCG is a big game on a big stage that players in the Big 12, barring expansion, will never get to experience and teams from other conferences can sell to recruits.

Well if they have to split money with two new members that's less money for the slush fund($). Bound to have an impact on recruiting.

If the snub hurts the Big XII the league that will likely benefit would be the SEC.

I would bet it is minimal at best.
