Baylor is especially not OK for us after the lawsuit to try and keep us in the Little 10. They will never get a yes vote from A&M.

All the others are simply non-starters though not as vehemently so..but will still get a "nay" vote from us.

I'm not so sure you have to worry about that anymore, but we'll see.

I think there is a reasonable chance that Virginia Tech and North Carolina wind up in the SEC and that Virginia and perhaps Duke wind up in the Big 10. And perhaps Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Iowa State wind up in the PAC.

Then a new conference would be created out of the remaining ACC & Big 12 teams.

Boston College, Notre Dame, Pittsburgh, Syracuse
Louisville, N.C. State, Wake Forest, West Virginia
Clemson, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Miami
Baylor, Kansas State, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech

If ND remains a hybrid then T.C.U. slides into the bottom grouping, Baylor slips into the FSU & Miami group, Clemson slides into the Wake group, and West Virginia moves up to ND's spot.

That gives us 4 conferences of 16 full members with regional groupings plus ND. No more Big 12 teams to the SEC and 10th get's his dream scenario.
