Also, the SEC owning Bedlam would be nice. Further , having oSu, it would give OU competition in not being too dominant for recruits in that region.

I was hoping the SEC would, someday, land one of those North Carolina ACC schools. Having NC State would be fine. The ACC could be better off with one less in N.C. and add elsewhere, i. e. WVU, UConn, or perhaps Cincy.

I heard someone say that the ideal pair for the conference back in 2010 would have been North Carolina and Oklahoma. While I understood the brand implications of that suggestion I dismissed it because it seemed impractical since UNC isn't going anywhere. I also didn't think that adding one to the East and one to the West would solve some of our logistical issues.

That said the logic behind N.C. State and Virginia Tech was pretty obvious, particularly under the market footprint model. And quite frankly the ACC dropping down to 12 really opens some possible vistas for them to add significant branding and markets.

Practically, the Big 12 will be the only game for awhile and likely the only game for the duration should the ACCN prove profitable enough. Oklahoma is certainly not my overall preference, but acquiring at least one of Texas and Oklahoma seems to me to be the best possible offensive and defensive move as it guarantees that noone will really overtake our content and branding valuation so therefore it locks us into the advantaged position we now enjoy. If Texas doesn't come with the Sooners I really don't think there's much difference in the rest of the possible travel mates so if the Sooners are more likely to be favorable with OSU then so be it.

I just really anticipate that if those two seriously pursue SEC invitations that Texas is going to go defensive and may likely try to Horn in, pun intended. If so would we take them? And if so who with?

If the Big 12 cracks then I think we should take any school that has a good sized fan base.

Kansas, West Virginia, Texas Tech, maybe Iowa State...I think any of them will add value as we become less dependent on cable and satellite for distribution. I'd even throw TCU in there because they could make for a very interesting content addition if they can maintain their momentum.

It is kind of a "pick em" situation. But if forced to prioritize them I'd say (1) Kansas as an AAU and a historic basketball brand. (2) West Virginia for a reach into a bit of the Beltway and to create even more of a bridge to Virginia Tech should the opportunity ever arise. (3) T.C.U. simply to max out 7 million potential viewers with 6 schools they cared about every week (Texas, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Arkansas, and T.C.U. with the Frogs giving us at least 7 games in DFW a year in addition to the RRR. (4) Iowa State an AAU school in a state of 3.3 million., (5) Texas Tech
