Three conferences have to be satisfied. I say three, because I think because of politics, the PAC schools have removed themselves from the expansion equation.

Delany did everybody in college football a favor by leaving the ESPN tent and starting the BTN. He allowed the market to seek the proper dollar level for P level football. Remember Delany said he would have never left ESPN if they had agreed to pay the Big Ten more.
How do we placate the B1G and Delany. ESPN gives them back what they took from them (Missouri), so they can pair the Tigers with Kansas.


So what about the ACC and the SEC where ESPN has vested interests?
With the SEC down to 13 teams it is necessary to add three to get to 16. Oklahoma is a no brainer, but to get them, yep!, it means Oklahoma State. But for #16? Tough call. West Virginia? Remember we are dividing the Texas market. So how do we add to the SEC's share of Texas (A&M with LSU handles the Houston area, Oklahoma would take case of DFW)and add the one other thing we are missing (a rival for Oklahoma State) you invite the second Texas school that you need, Texas Tech.
For the ACC?
For starters you allow Notre Dame to enter the league at their own pace (which may be several years down the road) but in addition to Texas add TCU.
DFW presence is not only good for the ACC but would also bode well for the Irish in that is gives a good "stage" for ACC product is Texas.

That's it, we're done. No need to celebrate, throw confetti or dance a jig. Everybody goes away with what they wanted or needed. Perfect? Perfect was never going to happen and keep everybody happy
ESPN gets what they need out of the B1G, the SEC and the ACC. Six regions (one stretched) that are pretty distinctive and pretty well balanced.

B1G west:
Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, Minn, Wisc, NW, Ill
B1G east:
Purdue, Indiana, Mich, Mich St, Ohio St,. Rutgers, Maryland, Penn State
SEC east:
Kentucky, Tenn, Ala, Auburn, Ga, so. carolina, Florida, Miss. State

ACC west:
TCU, Texas, Miami, Louisville, Virginia Tech, Pitt, Syracuse, BC
ACC east:
Florida St., Clemson, Ga. Tech, Carolina, State, Duke, Wake Forest, UVa
currently partial and future member: Notre Dame.

Missouri doesn't have to leave.

Kansas and Notre Dame head to the Big 10. Why? If we are moving to a P4 and N.D. has to join all in somewhere, they will go for the cash. That's what church schools do. That gives Delany his football brand, control over his city markets in the Northwest and Northeast and make the Yankees very damned happy!

Oklahoma and Oklahoma State join the SEC. Texas, Texas Tech, and T.C.U. join the ACC out right and everybody is happy. The ACC and ESPN let the Irish out of their contract and voila. ESPN owns Texas and Oklahoma outright the same way they own the rest of the SEC and ACC. There's your happy ending. BTW: Texas all in is far more valuable to the ACC (and your regional rights money from Tech & T.C.U. giving you triple dip into Texas) than any darned arrangement for 5 games with a has been private.

Over the last few weeks the money argument has been debunked.

If there is a big discrepancy in dollars. Any school not keeping up would be looking for a new athletic director instead of a new conference.

Auburn gets 11 million a year for under armor. Louisville is just catching up to what SEC schools already do.

There's no reason for Missouri to leave, none.

RE: The Great Chase for Texas
Well, I don't see ESPN doing the B1G any favors until they back away from FOX. That would essentially be throwing away content.

I think ESPN will try to get everything they can under one roof.

I do agree though that the PAC has essentially strategized themselves out of making any big additions.

How to divide Texas?

Consider the broader implications...

Texas - Will be a strong brand no matter which league they join. A big boost to the ACC, not as much of a boost to the SEC. More rivals will be contained in the SEC though so the schedule will be more favorable.

Texas Tech - Will likely follow UT due to political considerations. Not a particularly good fit for the ACC. A decent fit for the SEC although the travel would still be somewhat difficult.

TCU - Hasn't quite shed the upstart status, but they have potential due to their location in the heart of DFW. Probably a better fit in the ACC.

Baylor - Will essentially wither into obscurity if they lose Power status. The American is a reasonable destination although I think there's an outside chance a Power league takes them if it's necessary to get UT. Not sure if the TX politicos will fight for them this time, but I think it depends on how much punishment the institution receives. If they take the brunt of it then perhaps the powers that be decide they've suffered enough.

Houston - ESPN already owns them in a cheap league and there's little threat of the B1G or PAC taking them. A promotion could maximize the market if Baylor is allowed to fall off, but it would depend. Part of me thinks UT will fight for them in the right circumstance. Being a state school, Power status could do quite a bit for the school and the state by extension. If Baylor is relegated then the networks really don't losing anything by giving UH the call up. In fact, they might gain more market penetration.

Oklahoma and Oklahoma State - Likely stick together and join the SEC

The broadest issue of all, of course, is what makes ESPN's investment in both leagues the most secure?

I would propose this...

SEC adds Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, TCU, and West Virginia

ACC adds Texas, Texas Tech, Cincinnati, and Notre Dame

B1G adds Kansas, Kansas State, Iowa State, and UConn

Only Baylor is left out.

The SEC gets a heavy presence in DFW while getting a blue blood in OU, a solid program in OSU, and a presence in the Mid-Atlantic with WVU. We don't end up with the destabilizing presence of UT, but still maximize our exposure in the state of TX.

The ACC gets a brand name in UT with a little extra penetration in the state. Notre Dame comes in full and that allows them to take advantage of a decent market addition in UC.

RE: The Great Chase for Texas
Real money

http://www.goduke.com/ViewArticle.dbml?A...EM_ID=4200

Duke Athletics’ “Building Champions” fundraising effort was part of Duke Forward, which also benefitted all 10 of Duke’s graduate and undergraduate schools, Duke Libraries, Duke Health and a range of university-wide initiatives and programs. It began on July 1, 2010 with an original goal of $3.25 billion, and ended on June 30, 2017.

Originally featuring a goal of $250 million, Building Champions soared past the mark by $90 million thanks to the generous support of many alumni, parents and friends. The ambitious financial goal was initially separated into three categories – facility upgrades, scholarship / program endowment and operational support – and benefitted all 27 varsity sports, funding several priorities outlined in “Unrivaled Ambition, A Strategic Plan for Duke Athletics,” the department’s first strategic plan drafted in 2008


They're not worried about a few million dollars in TV money.

Sorry, but you can toot the ACC horn somewhere else. We're not impressed. Duke had better spend some money on football or they get left out in the future.

You were busy with another game, but with a minute to play in the 2nd quarter and the ball on UCLA's side of the field and holding a 38-10 lead Sumlin ran the clock out instead of trying to pick up 15 yards and kick a field goal.

In the 3rd quarter following a break and a good drive that took the Aggies to the 10 yard line of UCLA they attempted 3 passes instead of sticking to the ground game and kicked for 3. Another time they were stopped with a 4th and a little less than two yards and a chance to put the game away and instead kicked for 3. They never scored again.

All through the 3rd and 4th quarters the Aggies who had rushed the ball well for most of the night continued to toss incomplete passes instead of running clock. I started calculating this in the third quarter and just in that quarter alone the failed to shave 5 minutes off the clock. The 4th quarter was even worse. BTW the UCLA scored the winning points with 47 seconds left on the clock. Just saying!

I see that UCLA score 2 TDs in the last 3:10, so if aTm just runs 5 mins off the clock w/o scoring they win by 13... that's some boneheaded clock management!

Mizzou administration might want to leave but I doubt the fans and athletics department share the same POV. The SEC isn't forcing them out either. So unless ESPN guarantees no money loss for the SEC and pays the B1G enough to ensure Mizzou gets full payments upon entry there just isn't enough justification to move

Why not just grab as much of the DFW market as possible and bring the Iron Skillet to the ACC?

Or

UT, SMU, WVU and TCU

SMU's budget is so small though. That and their fan base is minuscule. You'd basically be recruiting another Wake Forest.

Texas may be down, but they are still the top draw in a state with a population of about 28 million people. Yes, I would say there is still a desire for the ACC, SEC, B1G or the PAC to add Texas.

The interesting thing about S.M.U. is that the athletic department has an endowment of over $1 Billion.

Yes. And any of those conferences would take a buddy to get them all in.
