Would be Terrible pick ups for the B1G. Neither would add any value to tv contract. Someone gonna pick up Kansas for their basketball

bad news, none of the schools are going to add value. For the PAC the only real positive about getting a couple TX schools is more movement in the area for recruiting and some share of the metroplex. But it's not about footprints anymore. PAC last deal was bad, so TCU/SMU/Bu/TT/OSU additions couldn't make it worse.

Btw, everyone is assuming Missouri will vote no but I saw interview about it with their AD and Coach and they were speaking positively about Oklahoma and Texas as if they wanted them in the SEC.

No one is going to turn down the additional 15 or so mil UT/ou will bring.. and Mizzu is smart, they want to play in Austin again as does Arkansas

I wouldn't call them a doormat. They won several B1G titles. They had a better program than either Kansas teams, Baylor, Iowa State, and until T Boone Pickens Oklahoma State. They were a mid-tier team, not bottom feeder.

B1G is the Big 10. They never won a Big 12 title.

AAC has a strong argument for becoming a P5 if the Big 12 goes away and they pick up some Schools. If they added the majority of schools left in the Big 12 they would get close to 16 and crap ton more eyeballs. You probably loose Kansas to the B1G and maybe Iowa State but everyone else needs a landing. With a 12 team playoff that would be an automatic conference champ bid without P5 status.

They would be grossly superior to being independent.

The question is do any of those other schools in the Big 12 really amount to anything, as far as earning the AAC more tv revenue? Let's say hypothetically Kansas and ISU go to the B1G. You're left with Oklahoma State, Kansas State, TCU, Texas Tech, Baylor and then WVU. Take WVU out of the equation. If 3 of them join the AAC, are combined they worth an additional 20+ Million per year for the AAC? My guess is probably not. Maybe some combination of two Texas schools and Oklahoma State. But it's questionable.

I guess it comes down to if you'd rather make the money, the best bet is probably independence. But if you want better access to the CFP, it probably means you gotta go G5.

My bad. I was typing from phone and probably wasn't paying much attention. You are correct. Missouri won several Big12 North Divisions titles. My point was that Missouri, as a program, was not a bottom feeder. They were a mid-tier team. They are on par with an Arkansas, South Carolina, or even Tennessee with its current performance (not historical).

I was being pedantic ... I agree with your assessment. They almost won it a couple times, and as they were leaving they were a decent team. Came into the SEC with UGA, UF and IT all down and won the east 2 years running. Not close since.

Yeah, Missouri seems very supportive of the idea surprisingly. Only Texas A&M is against it but I think the SEC is trying to do things to make the move attractive for A&M.

Austin reporter claimed SEC plans to vote as early as next week and expects the vote to be 13-1

You guys are not alone, Tennessee, UCLA, Miami, Michigan, Texas, Colorado, etc. Yeah Michigan (from that group) has had 9-10 win seasons but even those seasons are suspect once you look at their "wins". All of these power programs, like Nebraska, have struggled since the mid-2000s.
