UCLA gets to be a bigger fish in a smaller pond in the Big 12.  They instantly contend, and they no longer have to play second fiddle in the south division.  Also, their recruiting footprint into Texas would increase a lot.

The whole problem with all of this speculation is the Longhorn Network, which Texas will hang onto with its cold, dying fingers. Until the LHN disappears, I think the Big 12 is screwed.
