If Texas runs off to join the Pac. It may happen. It may not but, if it did happen. The B1G Would most likely take Missouri and Kansas. That is if Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahom and Oklahoma State all went to the Pac.

The SEC would take WVU, Kansas State and Possibly Iowa State or Baylor. This would leave TCU and either Iowa State or Baylor left out.

I would suggest that the AAC forgo taking any of those and instead add, NIU (Illinoise), Old Dominion (Virginia), Army (New York) and AFA (Colorado).

Adding those states with Texas, Florida, Louisiana, Tenn, Oklahoma, N. Carolina, Ohio, Maryland and Conn, would give the AAC a Conference Footprint with approximately 140 million people in it.

The B1G would be the next closest Conference with 115 million people in it's footprint after adding Missouri and Kansas. Next would be the ACC with about 108 million People and then the SEC with 107 million people with the Pac left with around 98 million people. The ACC will go up depending on whom they invite. They were not given credit for N.D. as it's only an associate member. However the ACC could become the second largest in population footprint but could not overtake the AAC without adding the state of Texas or California.

I'm thinking that the networks care more about the conferences footprint and how many states they can get cable rights in mor ethen they do performance on the field.

Just some food for thought in this mixed up world where Footprint matters.
