I can see it remaining a P5 for a dozen years if we all stay in the NCAA. If there is a breakaway I think the networks will utilize that move to streamline the structure for commercial purposes and we will see a P4. Financially a P4 makes more money for everyone, including the networks where content drives commercial value.

Who knows what will be done if it is brokered as I suspect it might be. Here are a few options to ponder again:

1. W.V.U. to the ACC. Kansas and Oklahoma to the Big 10. Texas, Iowa State, Kansas State and Texas Tech to the PAC. Baylor and Oklahoma State to the SEC.

2. Texas to the ACC. Oklahoma and West Virginia to the SEC. Kansas and Iowa State to the Big 10. Kansas State, Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, ? to the PAC. (? could be T.C.U., B.Y.U., a Nevada school, or someone else.)

3. Texas to the ACC. Oklahoma and Baylor to the SEC. Kansas and Connecticut to the Big 10. Iowa State, Kansas State, Texas Tech, and Oklahoma State to the PAC.

4. Texas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, and Texas Tech to the PAC. Kansas and Iowa State to the Big 10. West Virginia to the ACC. Baylor and Kansas State to the SEC.

5. West Virginia to the ACC. Kansas and Oklahoma to the SEC. Texas, Texas Tech, Kansas State and Oklahoma State to the PAC. Iowa State and Connecticut to the Big 10.

or ESPN just handles it:

1. Texas, Oklahoma, Baylor, Texas Tech, Kansas State and Kansas to the ACC. N.C. State, Virginia Tech, Oklahoma State and West Virgnia to the SEC.
