Why not just keep the B12 and add 8 teams to create 2 divisions of 9?
 
Longhorn division- Texas, OU, Okie St, K St, Tech, TCU, KU, ISU, Baylor
Irish division- ND, FSU, Miami, Clemson, GA Tech, WV, Pitt, SU, BC
 
All that does is make the Longhorn schools no longer play WV (big deal). Which of course would end expansion. P12 would be stuck at 12. B1G and SEC would have no other choices besides Louisville and Duke so they would be done as well. ND gets an East coast division and a game in Texas every 4 to 5 years for recruiting. They would hate 9 conference games but it sure beats going to the B1G. It also allows for a ND network. 
 
Or even go to 4 five teams pods with Duke and BYU who both add plenty of value.
 
Texas, OU, Okie St, Tech, ISU
BYU, K St, TCU, Baylor, KU
FSU, Miami, Clemson, GA Tech, Duke
ND, WV, Pitt, SU, BC
 
That allows you to play cross pod teams once in three seasons. That again would end expansion. Only Louisville would be the only team left with value and Wake would be the only have that became a have not. Which means there would be 4 power conferences consisting of 64 teams. I could then see each network getting a conference as their own. B1G to FOX for Tier 1 FB/BBall and Tier 2/3 to BTN. B12 to NBC for Tier 1/2 FB and BBall and Tier 3 to the schools. For Texas, ND, BYU it goes to their own network. For the rest it goes to regional sports networks. CBS/ESPN share the SEC like they do today. ABC/ESPN has the P12. G5 goes to ESPN.
