Last year the Big 12 was a dead conference walking after Texas A&M and Missouri bolted for the SEC.

Then came guaranteed television money and the 13 year grant of rights that led to further stability.

Once the other seven teams in the conference realized they had no true options the Big 12 wasn't a dead conference walking anymore. Everyone had to get together and work everything out.

Options provoke instability which leads to greater instability.

So do you know what you've got if Florida State bolts for the Big 12?

Mutually assured conference destruction for the ACC and the Big East.
