[QUOTE="Greensboro, post: 1222837, member: 7536"] No doubt B1G would take Texas as equal member, not convinced Texas is there though. Texas will have options, last round there were rumors they wanted to link with ND, but ND seems to have secured there independence for quite a while with GOR extension. But since ACC has already bent over backwards for ND, they would likley give Texas a similar deal, but if Big12 is about to come apart they (ACC) might be a little less motivated. If Texas is allowed to negotiate there own TV deal, they don't care so much about current PAC payout. Without bringing along there own contingent the PAC night let them write a deal. SEC and Texas are both about football in the end, yeah there is the university president's who might have a different view, but SEC will be attractive. Would be interesting if A&M tried to get on the SC, FL, GA deal to block other members of there state from getting in and add Texas to the list, don't think A&M could pull that off though. I think the interesting move would be to take OU & see what Texas would do, without OU I'don't see the Big12 as a viable long term option for Texas ...adding the OU rivalry would also make the B1G look more attractive to Texas. Could OU leave OSU behind without some political cover, maybe not?, but it would certainly turn the heat up in Austin. [/QUOTE]
