The Big 12 roll call as of 11:30 a.m., Thursday

Colorado - Gone. Sure, every road trip will be a long one. But the Buffaloes are trading out Waco, Columbia and Manhattan for Los Angeles, the San Francisco Bay Area, and Seattle.

Nebraska - See ya. Cornhuskers have no aversion to cold-weather football in November.

Texas - Has the bidding closed to get this high-end property? Is there a last-second play-call the Big Ten or SEC (or Big 12?) might make to keep the Longhorns from going to the Pac-10?

Texas A&M - Whatever the Longhorns say is fine.

Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State - They'd be delighted to be in the Pacific-16 East, which would be the funniest division name of all time.

Baylor - Pleading with Texas for help worked when the Big 12 was formed. This time? Sorry, Bears.

Kansas - Is it possible for one of the three or four elite college basketball programs in the nation to end up in the Mountain West Conference? Oh, it's possible.

Kansas State -- Kansas does have some small mountains, so the transition to the Mountain West wouldn't be completely awkward for K-State.

Missouri - It wants to dance with the Big Ten. But does the Big Ten want to dance with the Tigers?

Iowa State -- Is it too late to get Nebraska to change its mind?
