There is a solution though...

SEC adds Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Kansas, Iowa State, and Virginia Tech

ACC adds Notre Dame, Cincinnati, West Virginia, Texas, TCU, Tulane, and

If the ACC was going to allow a few schools to swap over to the SEC, I would have to think the current FSU administration would at least explore that opportunity like they explore that option like they did years earlier.

I'll play along and say the more natural additions would beaded:

SEC adds Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Virginia Tech, West Virginia, Florida State, Kansas

ACC adds Norte Dame, Texas, Texas Tech, TCU, Cincinnati, UConn

SEC adds Bedlam. Ninja Swofford convinces ND to go all in if Texas joins in full too. Texas wants some friends for travel reasons. ACC says no to Baylor, ESPN suggests moving VT to SEC. ACC agrees if WVU is not part of ACC. FSU wants to go too. Resistance from ACC, but more money is still added with ND and Texas even if FSU goes. ACC adds more markets with Cincinnati (Ohio) and UConn (NYC and Boston)

The Old Deal should be resurrected:

N.C. State & Virginia Tech to the SEC along with T.C.U. and Kansas
Notre Dame joins in full. Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and West Virginia to the ACC.

The ACC gets a dramatic boost in content and markets. They lose nothing but two duplicates to pull it off. The SEC gains 3 new markets (2 of them significant), a major basketball brand, and entry into DFW.

ACC:
North: Boston College, Louisville, Notre Dame, Pittsburgh, Syracuse, West Virginia
South: Clemson, Duke, Georgia Tech, North Carolina, Virginia, Wake Forest
West: Florida State, Miami, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas, Texas Tech

SEC:
East: Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, N.C. State, South Carolina, Virginia Tech
South: Alabama, Auburn, Mississippi, Mississippi State, Tennessee, Vanderbilt
West: Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana State, Missouri, Texas A&M, T.C.U.

If the ACC was reluctant to agree to accept Oklahoma, we sure as the world are not going to agree to accept Oklahoma State.

Didn't you say earlier that if ESPN was capable of guiding UT, OU, KU, and ND into the ACC that you all would accept regardless of what Duke thought?

I mean...

Either ESPN offered you that deal and the ACC balked or the ACC has some bizarre objection to OU and simply won't take them...

But it can't be both.
