I vaguely remember reading about this spinoff idea before and, if I remember correctly, it would not be about another BAU or other profilers...it would be based on another department/team in the FBI that has a (different) specialty. That while some characters (possibly the more minor ones) that are on Criminal Minds might show up on the spin-off all original cast would stay on Criminal Minds and a new major cast would be developed for the new show.
The idea itself is hit or miss...It could be great to view FBI case-solving through another specialty and sometimes a spin-off is a really great show all on its own (Law & Order:SVU comes to mind). But it could also detract from Criminal Minds in creative effort (now Bernero and Mundy would be working on two shows rather than focusing on one) and...well...in my experience once the spin-offs come the originals loose their luster (Law & Order anyone? How about CSI??) and I really don't want that to happen to my favorite show!
