Big 12 Expansion rumors over?

Sure, if Oregon & Washington or anyone else gets raided by B10, situation changes. But that's not happening, at least not soon.  If the B10 wanted those schools they could have them tomorrow. Now's the time with ending PAC contract. B10 either doesn't want them at all, or they are waiting on raiding ACC first. Who knows.  But waiting a year and having Oregon try to fight out of a new PAC GOR is nonsense. 

In the likely scenario where PAC is not raided (ever or soon) it makes zero sense for a variety of reasons for any other PAC team to go to the B12.  It doesn't make financial sense, academic sense, prestige sense, cultural sense, etc.

Why would the Big Ten act now, if it happens UO and UW won't get full shares and if anybody leaves the PAC it only increases the Big Ten leverage. They'd be dumb to offer them until the PAC figures it out. 

I'd be shocked if any of the schools rumored to be leaving sign a hefty GOR. Why would they? Who wants to be attached that much to a possible sinking ship? 

The only sense any of this needs to make is it's better to be on solid ground than quicksand and right now the Big 12 is more solid than the PAC. Could that change? Sure, but to use your logic if the PAC already had a good deal with everyone in agreement they would've announced it by now.
