Yeah, if that's what he meant (i.e. Big12 raiding Pac12)...

then he's wrong.
I normally agree with a lot of what he says regarding conferences, and I think he's knowledgeable about it, but that's nothing more than wishful thinking on his part. There's absolutely no way the Big12 could poach a school from the Pac12, or any other P4 conference.
Big12 revenue payout is respectable, and geography comes into play as well obviously, but in general this is the pecking order for conference membership desirability when all factors are considered (revenue, prestige, academics, stability, TV coverage, brand, competitiveness, etc):
T1. SEC
T1. B1G
3. PAC
4. ACC
5. Big12
