That was the rumor, I think was posted in this thread - the alliance also includes how to break up the Big 12 remnants.
TCU and Baylor might be in the most unfortunate spot, they have big markets and good athletic programs including football but PAC doesn't want religious schools and they don't meet the B1G's academic profile. ACC seems like the only option.
Rust posted a rumor about it earlier but Houston could benefit from this to get into a P4 conference - everyone wants Texas schools, SEC already has Texas and aTm, Baylor/TCU are religious, so that leaves Texas Tech and Houston.
