These schools might want B1G money (or the projected SEC money) but I seriously doubt that many if any of the schools in the ACC or PAC actually want to be in the B1G or the SEC.

That is some serious head in the sand thinking right there. I don't doubt that used to be true, but not anymore. The reality is if any school can join another conference and make 30 million, maybe 50 million dollars more each year they would. It's silly to think otherwise. And please don't bring up endowments, they do not have a thing to do with such decisions.

Of course you have absolutely no proof to support your position nor are you likely to find any. To claim to KNOW what the BOT of every school outside of the B1G and SEC wants is ridiculous.

Lance, since when has any of the "knowledge" you've graced this board with ever come to fruition?

Weren't Texas and Baylor supposed to join the ACC?

I'll wait.

No, I imagined that Oklahoma and Baylor would be perfect additions for the SEC.
Texas would have been a great addition for the ACC but unfortunately they chose another path.

Not exactly. In fairness, here and there we all make differing predictions, but very few of us claim to have connections to decision makers. Even fewer claim to know how certain things will play out.

You stated that Texas was bound for the ACC, that such had already been decided and agreed upon by people at the highest levels...and that accepting Baylor was the price the ACC was willing to pay.

Were you wrong or misinformed?
