Big 12 has reportedly talked to Gonzaga about becoming the 13th member of the conference.  Aside from travel issues, this surprises me because Gonzaga does not have football.

Although "Big 13" is a much cooler name than Big 12, I don't think they would stop at 13.  Who comes to mind as member #14 - especially if they break the no-football taboo?  Wichita State.

Don’t think KU or K State would ever allow that. No way.

Hell would freeze over, also they bring literally nothing.

They bring nothing other than a proven ability to win basketball and baseball games, passionate fans, and geographic proximity to the conference core.

Personally, taking Gonzaga, let alone anyone else without football, would seem to devalue their brand.

They wouldn't devalue their brand with 2-4 Pac schools. They would with non football playing members of the AAC. We also win basketball games, Olympic sports, and fitness within the geographic proximity of the conference but it would be equally absurd to suggest we should be in the Big 12.
