I don't think you are going to get Texas. I sincerely doubt you get them all in unless you offer at least 3 more bids to their buddies.
Taking Cincinnati, Connecticut, West Virginia, and getting N.D. to throw all in is your best ticket for a conference that lands new markets, and keeps it's geographical integrity.
The SEC is in the best position to make a play for 4 Big 12 schools. Our Western boundary is their Eastern boundary, and we have several of their old rivals.
You had best concentrate on landing Oklahoma and quit worrying about the Longhorns and ACC income.
I don't worry over other people's pipe dreams and that is all it is.
No doubt JR that the SEC is in a better position than the ACC in landing Texas &/or B12 teams financially & geographically but I'm not sure that it would be in the SEC best interest to do so. Sure it would likely bring in more revenue but it could destabilize the conference in the future. It would depend on the model used.
