If Texas and Oklahoma go to the SEC, it might be time to reconsider B1G expansion. I'll begin with some observations.
1) Both the ACC Network and the Pac-12 Network are train wrecks.
2) Academics matter - AAU preferred.
3) Both Texas A&M and Mizzou said to be adamantly opposed to Texas joining SEC.
4) Notre Dame isn't joining a conference.
Best option: Texas and Oklahoma if SEC deal fails.
Second best option: Mizzou quits SEC and joins B1G + Colorado quits PAC-12 (low TV revenue and nasty logistics to the West Coast).
Third best option: UVA + UNC
Fourth best option: Georgia Tech (Atlanta TV market) + Clemson (Clemson already grumbling about low TV revenue and they make the most in the AAC).
