I could see the state legislature eventually allowing UT and Tech to leave TCU and Baylor behind if it meant more money for the two publics, but I don't see UT getting to leave without Tech finding a solid landing ground.

OU, OSU, Tech, and either Kansas or West Virginia to the SEC? Could Tech tag along with UT to the ACC? I'd think the SEC would be the more likely possibility for Tech than the ACC.

We(Tech) have a loud, loyal passionate fanbase but culturally we don't fit the SEC. We are to far west and I think Eastern SEC teams would hate traveling to Lubbock.

Culturally our best fit is the PAC 12. That being said, it would be nice to see Arkansas, LSU, Auburn, Alabama and aggy in Jones Stadium.

Regardless, Tech will be fine despite what some g5 fans think( Not directed at you since you are an A&M fan).

We could opt for another state school and select Tech instead of Baylor, but if all 10 schools are to find new homes Tech and T.C.U. stand a much better chance of getting into the PAC as opposed to Baylor. That's the only reason I listed them in this lineup. I think something like this could get done if none of the 10 Big 12 schools are left out.

Adding the the largest(Texas) and 3rd largest (Texas Tech) fan bases in Texas will definitely help the SEC network in Texas. 26 million residents and the 3 largest fan bases in Texas will generate millions in TV revenue.

That being said, I don't think it will happen. Aggy has no love for Tech and I'm not sure Texas will follow little brother to the SEC.
