I had some time to chime in on the recent Big 12 chatter and I think that the ACC should offer Texas a Notre Dame deal.


With his public comments, it’s no secret that OU isn’t happy. West Virginia is in support of expansion as well since they remain on an island by themselves. With the inner turmoil surrounding the Big 12, how can the ACC better itself as it gets closer to launching its own conference network? Offer Texas a “Notre Dame deal”. Lure the Longhorns by allowing them to participate in all sports while requiring a 5-game ACC football schedule. Like the Irish, Texas must sign the Grant of Rights and agree to join the ACC completely if or when they are forced to go all in to a conference. Texas-to-the-ACC isn’t as far fetched as it first appears. Back in 2011, UT was close to joining to ACC when it looked like the Big 12 was going to fall apart.

Thoughts?
