That may be the most workable arrangement. Baylor and T.C.U. with Texas as a partial.

I think Texas Tech can get into the PAC. That covers all of the Texas P schools and gives the Longhorns an excuse for the move. "We did what was best for the Texas schools." Five ACC games (two of which would be Baylor and T.C.U.) with one being rotated between F.S.U., N.D., and Clemson, and two rotating in general might get her done. Then within the 5 ACC games 2 are in the state of Texas and road games do not exceed 2 a year for the other 3 games. That leaves them 7 games with which to schedule A&M (ESPN's insistence as the excuse), Oklahoma still played in Dallas, 3 patsies, Texas Tech as an OOC PAC game, and one for a Big 10 school of note. That's a schedule they could go for IMO.

Required games versus Clemson/FSU may be a bit much. How about 5 games, 2 from Texas, 2 with the reconfigured ACC South and 1 in the North.

Also not sold on Baylor over Houston with the way the world is operating right now.

Baylor has a total sports Revenue north of 90 million. Houston is south of 55 million and is subsidized. And, there is less issue for a P5 to make the move at this point than a G5, especially if some P5's are left behind.

As for the requirement to rotate Clemson, F.S.U. & N.D. it is simply because Texas would want one major ACC brand on a regular basis. I realize that N.D. is not an ACC member for football but they would meet the UT need. But even if you substituted Virginia and North Carolina for Notre Dame they still get a marquee game each year in the rotation.
