Texas, Texas Tech, Kansas, Kansas State to the PAC

You could call it Kexas instead of Texahoma.

The SEC takes Oklahoma & Oklahoma State.

The ACC takes T.C.U. & Baylor.

The PAC stands at 16 and has access to 30 million more folks.

The SEC stands at 16 with another King for the West and a good all around sports program in OSU and gains the DFW market solidly.

The ACC sets up I-10 games between Waco & Tallahassee and gains a slither of the East Texas market and DFW with two more good basketball & football & baseball programs.

There are variations of how the Big 10 could play a significant part, but I'm sitting on those for the moment.

I think if the ACC is willing to expand into TX then they need to look at a school like Houston. UH certainly has proved their potential this year and demolishing one of the ACC's best should prove that the ACC still needs some punch on the football side.

I would also offer that Louisville and Houston are very similar in terms of academic profile and athletic prowess. UH lags in revenue right now, but only recently did UL take off.

For the ACC to take UH could also serve the purposes of ESPN. If the SECN and ACCN mostly overlap the same markets then customers have reason to subscribe to both and watch both outside of simply the interchangeable content.

SEC takes Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Kansas State, and West Virginia

ACC takes TCU, Baylor, Houston, and full membership from Notre Dame

PAC takes Texas, Texas Tech, Kansas, and Iowa State

TX is well divided between 3 leagues. Everyone in the Big 12 gets placed. The B1G lags behind in numbers, but not revenue.
