OU will never get into the B1G for academic reasons. Plus, Oklahoma State is attached at the hip with Oklahoma no chance they go to the B1G without little brother and there is NO CHANCE Okie State would get into the B1G. If the B1G got Notre Dame the 14th team from the West would be Missouri. Solid AAU academics brings the KC and St. Louis markets into the BTN fold, and it has a pretty good rivalry with Illinois.
However, I honestly don't see 16 team conferences happening right now because of ESPN's influence. One of the biggest undertalked aspects has been ESPN's relationship with the LHN and their interest in protecting their properties. ACC would take WVU over UConn if the SEC didn't take them because the ACC lawsuit is really going to hurt UConn to the ACC. BC will oppose them greatly and if they don't have to take them they won't if there are other options. I could see the ACC going Texas, Kansas, Syracuse, Pittsburgh. Creating a blue-blood basketball conference.
