I don't know how many times, or ways I have to say this:
Texas will NEVER join the B1G.
At least, not before Herd donates $10k to Donald Trump or Blue Hen joins the NRA. Both of those things are more likely.
I found this part to be interesting:
"Today news broke that ESPN lost another 231,000 subscribers from July to August this year. That's $20 million in yearly revenue lost. In the past year alone ESPN has lost 4.159 million subscribers. That's nearly $350 million in lost revenue."
Later, the article says ESPN currently has ~ 89MM viewers. Using the same math, that says their ANNUAL revenue is $7.7 BILLION. Wow. |

I could see one Oklahoma Team added to the SEC.
I just can't see two.
Maybe an Ohio or North Carolina School to go with Oklahoma.

I think the conference in the most trouble is the PAC 12....they have no opportunity for growth 10 years from now, I think we'll be seeing a lot of rumblings from them, and I wouldn't be shocked to see the Cali schools head to the B1G |

LOL Good point. I probably need 20 more times to catch him.
IF, God forbid, it EVER happens... I will merely point out that.... the B1G joined TEXAS!

They have a huge inferiority complex in that AAC! They think they're too good for the other members.... |

There's a few G5 schools that should be in the P5....BYU, Houston, UConn, Cincinnati, UCF, Colorado State...these aren't small time piddly schools. Most of these schools have played in the top bowls. |

Sounds like they'd be a perfect fit for the Big 12.

The ACC extended their GOR so they are locked up through 2035 I think Would Kansas pull enough TV to to make it worth while? Expansion is all about TV Markets these days which Is the main reason I North Carolina and Ohio as plums to be picked. |
