I think Texas should go to the ACC. But they should go with Oklahoma and Kansas with N.D. all in. The SEC should get Virginia Tech and N.C. State. This reduces the North Carolina block and sets up a democratic association in the ACC. North Carolina refuses to give up their power hold and that is why things are not already a P4. IMO the PAC would likely take two Texas schools for the markets, find a way to work out differences with B.Y.U., and add a 4th from (Nevada, U.N.L.V., New Mexico, Boise State, or Oklahoma State.) They need the markets.

But I think in the end the ACC will take in Notre Dame and perhaps West Virginia. The SEC will take in Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. Texas will look again to the PAC and take Texas Tech and T.C.U. to give them the whole state of Texas. And I believe that the Big 10 will get Kansas and Iowa State / Connecticut. I think nobody will be happy ultimately.

The SEC will not love the double up in a small market although OU will add much for content to an already content rich conference.

The ACC will forever resent Notre Dame's ability to mobilize its revenue into success and will forever resent another academic laggard.

The Big 10 will celebrate Kansas while secretly resenting the lack of football additions and will resent taking ISU or Connecticut. Will it be a new state and a substandard non AAU school, or a duplicate state school that meets their requirements.

Texas will move to the PAC, possibly with even Baylor in tow, but more likely with Kansas State. They will forever resent leaving Aggie to get the football headlines while the Horns settle into a less stellar pigskin existence in a conference that would prefer other entertainment to college athletics.

While I agree with Jayhawk that Texas will prefer to wait out the ACC GOR and cherry pick a new conference, I think in the end, especially now that UT is diminishing in on field performance, that it will be Texas that moves. I don't think the economy will permit for the time it takes for the GOR to play out. Therefore regional needs with regards to non revenue sports will help to dictate movement.
