How many current Big 12 schools is ESPN really worried about preserving? I'm thinking 5 or 6 at the most?

I could see schools like West Virginia, Iowa State, Kansas, Oklahoma State, TCU...and then maybe UConn added to the ACC. It would make a network working a lot more likely while increasing the football and basketball product and stabilizing that league for the long term.

ACC West: TCU, Oklahoma State, Kansas, Iowa State, Louisville
ACC North: Boston College, UConn, Syracuse, Pittsburgh, West Virginia
ACC Mid-Atlantic: Virginia, Virginia Tech, North Carolina, Duke, Wake Forest
ACC South: North Carolina State, Clemson, Georgia Tech, Florida State, Miami

If the ACC Network ends up getting bundled with the SEC Network then it's going to make it a lot easier if the leagues overlap even more than they do now.

At this point , after all of the talk and speculation, the ACC probably has only three expansion candidates. The first is Notre Dame. Nothing happens in the ACC without Notre Dame being included. The second choice is Texas. This is not really the league's choice but a possible placement by ESPN. If the Cowboys can play in a division with the Giants, Eagles and Redskins then I guess the Longhorns can fit into the ACC. The third candidate is Cincinnati. Location, Location, Location.....and don't mention UConn, the NYC market is fool's gold for the ACC, fortunately Swofford & Co. know this and have chosen to stay away.
There you have it for the ACC: Notre Dame and Texas or Notre Dame and Cincinnati.

I can see that. There are a ton of Notre Dame fans in OH and a Cincinnati addition would be able to capitalize on that if the ACC gets a network.

i'll offer another scenario. it is a fact that ACC expansion will begin with ND. however, what if ESPN gathered all 28 ACC and SEC schools in a room and made the following proposal:

1. ND joins ACC

2. Kentucky moves from ACC to SEC, creating a basketball conference that nearly makes my head explode just thinking about it.

3. SEC adds three from the Big12-4+2 (note: I assume that Texas will not go to the SEC): Oklahoma, Okie State and Kansas
