Re: Assuming there will be only 4 Power conferences in the future


This is quite the conundrum. So many angles. So many opinions. Here's my two cents for what is worth.

One solution would be to dissolve the Big 12 into the new Power 4 with ND keeping their independence. Texas schools to PAC 16? Oklahoma and Kansas schools to B1G and $EC? WVU and Iowa State to ACC? It just doesn't add up.

A lot of this depends on what Texas and Oklahoma want to do. Or maybe what they can do considering they have other state schools who could potentially roadblock a move to another conference. I guess Kansas could be thrown in there too.

I don't see Texas making a move until LHN is dissolved even if they continue in a watered down Big 12. They complain a lot when they have to travel to west coast to play night games so PAC may not be the place for them. I could see OU in $EC or B1G if oSu issues are resolved.

I always thought the $EC would take Virginia Tech and NC State to get into their lucrative markets. Not so fast with GoR.

If one program has to get screwed I hope it's Baylor. What has occurred with that athletic program is indefensible.
