Oh what might have been!

Marketed as in a weekly basketball or football series/challenge between the two conferences? Sure why not. Football usually happens during the last week of the season, rivalry week, while some challenges between the two during the really boring start of the basketball season would spark more interest for sure.

Marketed as in the two conferences networks sold as a package across the entire footprint. ESPN has a studio in Charlotte and one in Dallas. The one in Charlotte was prepared for a reason as was the one in Dallas.

What would you think of this? Having these two marketed together.

SEC

Texas, Kansas, Missouri, A&M, Arkansas, Baylor

Florida, Georgia, S Carolina, Tennessee, Vandy, WV

Alabama, Auburn, LSU, Mississippi, Miss State, Kentucky

ACC

Oklahoma, Okl State, TT, TCU, Louisville, Miami

FSU, Clemson, VT, NC State, WF, BC

GT, NC, Duke, Virginia, Pittsburgh, Syracuse

Crossover Rivalries Include
Texas-Oklahoma
Florida-FSU
Clemson-S Carolina
Pittsburgh-WV
Louisville-Kentucky
Georgia-GT
Baylor-TCU

ND could play 4 against the ACC & 4 against the SEC, could have up 4 on the ACCN/SECN.

Lenville I see where you are going with this and I don't disagree that if the ACC and SEC could find an equitable division of the Big 12 that we could end this. But the time to do that was 2 years ago.

Here is how I saw it then. The SEC would take 2 and pick up N.C. State and Virginia Tech. The ACC would add 5 (including WVU). Then what you would have in each conference is 3 divisions of 6 that made sense.

ACC:
Boston College, Louisville, Notre Dame, Pittsburgh, Syracuse, West Virginia

Duke, Clemson, Georgia Tech, North Carolina, Virginia, Wake Forest

Baylor, Florida State, Miami, Texas, T.C.U., Kansas State

SEC:
Arkansas, Louisiana State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Missouri, Texas A&M

Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Mississippi State

Kentucky, N.C. State, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Virginia Tech

But since that isn't likely to happen then we both need to take 4 and just live with divisional problems.

I figure Kansas and Oklahoma to the SEC with Texas and West Virginia to the ACC and then we each take two more.

That wasn't a bad deal & the ACC would've been wise to take it. The problem is that Tobacco Road isn't willing to give up old rivalries no matter the cost or how trivial they may seem to the rest of the country.

I would be ecstatic with any Texas & Oklahoma split between the ACC & SEC. Building on what you suggested the SEC could take Oklahoma, Kansas, Oklahoma St (I can see them sticking together for Bedlam) & another Texas school? Iowa State? Not much there for #4. VT would make a nice #4 here & possibly realistic.

The ACC then takes Texas, WV, TCU, Kansas State & Iowa State. ND remains indy, keeping them happy.

SEC
Oklahoma, Okl State, Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, A&M

Alabama, Auburn, LSU, Vandy, Mississippi, Mississippi State

Florida, Georgia, S Carolina, VT, Kentucky, Tennessee

ACC
Texas, TCU, Iowa St, Kansas St, Miami, Louisville

Pittsburgh, Syracuse, BC, WV, NC State, WF

FSU, Clemson, GT, NC, Duke, Virginia

At this point IF ND were to go all-in, the ACC could easily break into a 4x5 by adding 1 of Baylor, TT, UCONN, Houston, Temple or Cincinnati.

(Just for fun.)

I've always thought that those two conferences should leave the NCAA and form their own league, and play their own playoff and bowl match-ups. Oklahoma and Oklahoma state could move to the SEC. Notre Dame and Texas would be in the ACC. This would allow both conferences to have an NFL like set up and move to an eleven game schedule.
