1. Disney looking to buy a huge chunk of FOX and that would give ESPN a huge advantage if they take over the RSNs.

2. Texas is apparently looking at establishing a new vision and being a leader in the Big 12 again rather than simply the most powerful vote.

3. There appears to be growing discontent within the PAC 12.

Interesting how this could all work out.

Yep, it looks like ESPN is going to wind up with a boatload of leverage and the ability to fix some of the things that heretofore have been too complicated to tackle. What they won't have is an excuse not to provide the SEC some very nice finishing touches.

I agree with your first statement. ESPN should be able to make suggestions as to how placement would work to everyone's benefit. As such, I would look for balance in all conferences as well as logical placement. Notre Dame would be on the clock, too.
What i find disappointing, is the expectation displayed in your second statement, that the SEC is somehow owed something special.
