Re: To get to 4 conferences the BigXII would be easier to kill than the ACC


I disagree. Who is going to take the leftovers from the Big12? Oklahoma, Kansas and Texas are sure things, but at least five more teams need to find safe landing spots to get to the 75% vote to get the conference dissolved. Where are TCU, TTU, Baylor, Okie State, KSU, ISU and WVU going to go? The only schools in the ACC I think would have a hard time finding a spot are WF, BC and possibly Syracuse.

The fans and coaches really don't have a say in this discision. The presidents and governing boards do. Will they be able to pass up the money and security?

That being said, this whole scenario is based upon ESPN giving the Big12, a conference with the lowest Nielsen rating of any of the P5 conferences, a network. Not going to happen.
