The Big 12 looked at expansion and didn't find anyone worth taking. Hard to see anything changing with a Memphis, UConn or UC that's gonna make them suddenly more desirable to the league
The Big East fell apart because there were 7 basketball schools in the conference and they had the leverage to start a new league. Bringing in Dayton & VCU wouldn't change the equilibrium of the AAC. 3 basketball members who want to be there & moved into the league.
The basketball schools in the old Big East broke off because bringing in new football schools meant bad basketball. It was forced union that they didn't want to be a part of whereas Wichita & presumably if they invite two more schools will want to be there
