You will of course note that even if the Big 10 gets their 5 million dollar increase in TV revenue (more like 3.5) that they keep hollering about they will still be almost 8 million per school average lower than the SEC schools in total revenue.

It also means that should we expand out of the Big 12 we have to have either Texas or Oklahoma to make a second school from that group at 90 million work. Just some food for thought. It also means that Florida State is now the only prospect from the ACC that pays their way, although I'm sure we would make an exception for either of the Virginia Schools (UVA preferable) or for U.N.C. but both of those are doubtful unless the ACCN thing doesn't pan out.

Actually what it means is that the SEC is in the best position to add any school and still be making as much or more than any other conference.
Who is to say that the other schools in the SEC wouldn't give up a million or two to get other advantages for their conference.
I'm still looking for Texas to move to the ACC with either TCU or Baylor, or be traded to the PAC for "considerations".

It means that we can economically take Oklahoma and any one of the following: Kansas, Oklahoma State, or West Virginia. I don't think Baylor would get consideration at this point and we don't need T.C.U. if we get OU.

You won't be getting Tejas.
If Oklahoma goes brain dead and heads to the B1G................
The SEC needs another Texas school.

In that case it would be T.C.U. if we decided to expand. If Texas heads to the ACC Oklahoma will not go to the Big 10. They can't afford to go to the Big 10 unless Texas goes with them and ESPN isn't letting that happen.

If the PAC throws in with ESPN and Texas heads west then OU might go with them and take OSU with them.

Should that happen T.C.U. and either Kansas or West Virginia might get a look but there are no guarantees.
