Kansas was even mentioned as an outside candidate for Big 10 expansion, and of course, Colorado was eyeing the Pac-10.

Colorado was invited to join the Pac-10 in 1994, and their board of regents ultimately turned it down due to heavy pressure from the AD and football coach. So it wouldn't be surprising if Houston and others thought that there might be a vacancy they could fill, or even that the Big XII might want to have more than 12 members.

It also wouldn't be surprising if the WAC went after the SWC schools to cut off the possibility that UNM and UTEP might leave the WAC to join a new SWC.
