If a compromise was truly needed and we had to take a B12 team who isn't KU and or WVU, then I would support taking one of the DFW privates since they are low risk to A&M while still firmly planting the SEC flag in DFW (ie the same big prize taking an OK school offers)

I can absolutely see where you are coming with taking one of the privates instead but I actually think they are a bigger risk to you in the SEC then they are in the current Big 12. In the Big 12 they are heavily shadowed.

Also, as an Aggie, I understand that this may be hard to admit but you do realize that any of this happening depends on Texas receiving first satisfaction right? Their landing spot has to be figured out first. If it is the ACC then you have to take into account both Texas's viewpoint and the ACC's. Are they going to prefer one of the Oklahoma's? Between them and Texas, it just seems to me like the two privates are the compromise between the two of them. Of course that is simply my opinion and nothing more.

Once the Texas situation is figured out then you just go down the line in importance.

In fact you could say that after the last round of moves the question really to be answered was where are Notre Dame and Texas going to go? We got half of that answer and now when Texas decides the dividing up of the rest will be fairly simple. Oklahoma will have a say where they go but they are clearly the next big prize left on the board after Texas. After that it is merely a matter of finding some value and a willingness to accommodate that will decide placement.

The ACC has theirs in Notre Dame. The Big 10 might be getting Kansas. So maybe Texas goes to the PAC with T.C.U. and Texas Tech and the SEC gets Oklahoma. I just don't think there will be movement here unless the remaining money teams get divided up. We'll see.
