Agreed that ou and KU to the big 10 and Texas and Texas tech to the sec would make the big 10 and sec very happy. I'm not sure it's a compromise between fox and espn or anything + still think Tulane works better than Texas tech to partner with Texas if the longhorns had interest in the sec post ou and ku joining the big 10. The issue isn't Tulane bringing a market, its Tulane bringing academic profile and a city to visit for the sec. If the sec lands Texas, they have won the sweepstakes and don't need another power. If the networks are doing deals, than putting Texas tech in the PAC 12 makes sense if Texas is going to the sec to give the PAC a slice of the market. You could have a 64 team p4 of

Big 10 ou, ku
Sec : Texas, Tulane
PAC: Texas tech, Tcu or Houston
Acc: uconn, wvu, cincy

The leftover big 12 schools go to the aac. Or they could create a mwc + aac alliance in a super conference
