If the Big Xii is going to explode, here's the path of least resistance:


The state schools stick together. Texas (+3), Oklahoma (+OKSt), and Kansas (+KSt) align with the PAC, SEC, & B1G (respectively), and jump ship all at once.

Politicians (outside of Iowa and WV) won't have much to say. ACC will let WVU kick and scream a bit until ACCN/ND deal is ironed out, then will extend the invite (to appease the football powers in the conf.).

7 conf. games across the board with rotating divisions. This frees up several slots for ND to maintain nat'l schedule, Texas to schedule Oklahoma or A&M OOC, and promotes made for TV matchups between Power 4 schools throughout the regular season.

The potential $$$ in this scenario far outweighs the $ gained by adding 2 schools to an already crippled Big Xii.

Thoughts?
