A) the old SEC + the SWC
Or B) the old SEC + the Big 8

Obviously money is going to be a/the deciding factor but in a bigger conference rivalries may be at a premium.

So would it be worth anything to take OK/State/KS/State/Iowa State + ? And have the old Big 8 predominantly in the SEC or is that too many schools that don't contribute $ anyway?

Would taking Texas/Tech/Baylor/TCU be much better and have most of the SWC?

Some combination is probably the best option, but im still curious about the value of rivalries and history here.

As of right now it's SWC-2 and Big 8-1.

There's more to be made in Texas than in Iowa, Kansas, Oklahoma and West Virginia combined. But that said there's no doubt that as a brand Oklahoma is a prize. Kansas would make a fine tag along for Texas or Oklahoma. Kansas with Texas is like getting Don Quixote along with Sancho Panza. Kansas with Oklahoma is more like getting Gabby Hayes with Roy Rogers.
