The BIG and PAC can’t expand because there aren’t any properties that really add more than they’d cost. ACC is locked up for 15 more years (TV rights) and nobody is leaving the SEC. so who’s left? The only two properties with national followings are: ND football, KU basketball. The BIG has tried to get ND for decades so that’s a lost cause. And KU basketball can’t generate the 55M+ needed to make the BIG whole. |

What would be better would be if the SEC let those two join, but to remind UT and OU who the boss is, move them to a separate pod and prevent the yearly Red River Rivalry. It would be the ultimate boss move by the SEC and humbling for those two schools.

Texas and the rest of the SWC trash schools ruined the Big 8. Now they are ruining the Big 12. **** Texas in the ass.

Big Ten already provides its schools with 50+ Million a year in funding, and this would make the pot even larger. Plus the Big Ten redoes its TV deal in 2023. Their first up in getting huge media money. Maybe the PAC 12 can be the third major conference, but right now it looks like its the SEC and Big 10's game, you want to be part of those two conferences. |

It seems like there will be 3 major conferences when this is over, and the Big XII remnants will be divided up. Maybe ACC takes WV when it’s over, Kansas gets into the Big Ten, and the rest end up divided between PAC, Mountain West, AAU, etc.

I have not read all of this, so apologies if it's a repeat or has proven to be false.
I am a lifelong Razorback fan, growing up in the old SWC days. I have always wanted a 'home and home' series with Texas. It was a shock when the Hogs left for the SEC and I'm glad they moved. That being said, I don't think I'm a fan of admitting OU and TX. And, if I read it correctly, it would only take 4 teams voting against it to stop it. Believe that Missouri, A&M and Arkansas would all vote no... leaving just one more team to prevent it. At the end of the day, the schools will let them in if it means the dollars for their pool increases significantly. I don't think OU needs any help with recruiting, but joining the SEC won't hurt them aside from being able to lock in the conference title every year. Texas - they certainly need the SEC more than the SEC needs them. |

Plus in terms of why would the PAC 12 want to join the Big Ten. The $32 million the PAC 12 conference distributed to each of its member schools in the 2018-19 academic year was a far cry from what the SEC ($45 million per school) and Big Ten ($55 million) distributed, according to tax records. Follow the money and you end up in the SEC and Big Ten |

Nobody is going to turn down what that means to them in terms of money for their programs.
