Actually a Big 12-Big 10 Challenge makes sense for a couple of reasons:
1. Geography, as pointed out by ugopher in an earlier post.
2. More important in my mind is the fact that both conferences have 11 schools that play VB. This would allow all of the teams in both conferences to take part, without having anyone left out.

So both the Big TEN and the Big TWELVE have 11 teams. There need to be some math majors working at these places!! ;D

Oklahoma State, for some reason, does not have VB as an intercollegiate sport. I would agree with you that the Big 10 has some counting issues!

Volleyball has the advantage in that it does not require a lot of facilties that most places don't already have, and it is a great Title IX compliance program. You'd think a school with such a predominant wrestling team would need volleyball if not for that reason alone.

Don't know how many scholarships involved.
