So if Kansas and ISU to BIG and WV to ACC would SEC tump the BIG12 over?

So if 5 teams leave would SEC offer OSU and/or TCU to end the Big 12 now?

It will only take 1 more defection to effectively kill the Big12.

I guess I am reading this wrong but I am under the impression that this article and others like it are true?

To fit into the narrative of that article, I think one more defection will be all it takes to drive several other schools to bail out ASAP, thus triggering the vote to dissolve the conference.

It has been known for some time (years) that USC wants out of PAC and the domineering oppression of Berzerkley. That aside, I see no added value to any of the Big XII schools should they go to the PAC.

WVU has long wanted into the ACC, but UNC, Duke, UVA, & Wake have objected on the basis of academics; yet, Swofford went out to get Pitt & Syr-excuse. Delany made a serious run at UNC/UVA but failed. Right now, the ACC has no leadership and there are four schools that can sink that ship. Clemson & FSU have wanted out since Bowelsby humped the puppy on their move. The BigTen TV contract is going to Fox for huge $$$, which UVA needs, and UNC will find it very difficult to turn down. Without those four schools, ACC will get a new TV contract with Raycom for a fraction what they get now.

IF KU gets to keep their same Tier 3 rights to basketball and the new BigTen TV money, they will be healthier than they have ever been.

Joe, what are your thoughts on the Arizona schools bolting is USC does? Possibility USC, the Zona schools would lockstep with oSu, Tech, Baylor, TCU, and maybe Utah to grab a TV contract? USC would finally have a conference where they are in control and could put one of their own in as commissioner. I posed this to my friends on Exposition, and they just smiled. Clearly USC wants to drive the bus.
