[QUOTE="Greensboro, post: 1213968, member: 7536"] The B1G & Delaney have showed patience on the number of teams, staying at 11 for a long time. Order may matter in the final number, if Notre Dame and Texas were to jump on board I think the bar gets higher on who you would add that wouldn't dilute value. But I could see a scenario happening like you have below where the B1G takes 2 ACC teams and it starts the shake up with NC & VA coming into play, if that happens ND could come into play quickly. I also think Texas has to be weighing there options as well, with new contract it looks like B1G will pass Texas in TV money, isn't that part of the reason for the LHN? Texas A&M has improved stock in SEC, that has to hurt the Texas ego. Big 12 stock seems to be falling, that has to hurt Texas long term value as well. Not sure how the long term rights deal with ESPN/LHN would work out, but with ESPN not making money on that deal I can't help but think a deal couldn't be worked out. [/QUOTE]
