How many teams are in the Big 12, now?

Well, since you asked, there's 10. Texas saved the Big 12 Conference.

You see, four teams gave up on it. Missouri left because it got spurned by the Big 10 when Nebraska took their spot (the Big 10 started all this), then Missouri, thinking the Big 12 would dissolve (as many did), went SEC.

A&M's athletics department needed the money badly, and was able to make arrangements to leave and latch onto the financial teat of the success of long-established SEC teams.

Colorado thought they'd get left out of Texas' move to the Pac-10, but jumped the gun. They were always more "California," anyway.

frick 'em all.
