Just from a market expansion/potential new recruiting territory perspective, they should have looked east and added UNC and Virginia Tech or Virginia. That adds new TV markets including Charlotte, Raleigh/Durham, Washington, D.C. and its Virginia suburbs and also increases their recruiting footprint in North Carolina and Virginia. |

They just signed a new 10 year contract with ESPN worth $3 billion that goes into effect in 2024.

MU made a mistake leaving the B12 as did Nebraska and Colorado. None have faired better in their new conferences. Hope the Texas envy was worth it.

They’d only be adding Oklahoma to the footprint. I’d rather have North Carolina or Virginia.

So, if the PAC does expand and we assume Tech is in… that leaves 1-3 spots depending on if they go to 14 or 16. There aren’t a lot of great candidates. BU, TCU, and BYU are hard no’s due to religious affiliation (non starter for the PAC). Maybe they pull from Houston, Colorado State, San Diego State, Boise State, or UNLV… But some combo OSU, KU, KSU, and ISU just feels better if I’m the PAC despite the geographic distance. That assumes that those schools are available. Certainly understand the BIG being a lot more appealing to KU/ISU/KSU if the offer is there. Last edited by Kellerfox; 07-22-2021 at 10:19 AM.. |

A&M is first place in Houston, but is still second/third to the Big12 in the DFW and SA-AUS metros. Add UT and the SEC dominates all major Texas metros. The population and viewership add that Texas brings would likely exceed the reach in NC or VA. |

Assuming the B1G getting KU and ISU would be the next shoe to drop if this ultimately ends up happening. After that not too sure.

If the Big 10 expands I think it would look at schools like Colorado and someone else, maybe Kansas, but not sure about that. |

Did they really, though? All I remember was Kansas fans being upset that Texas Tech was being looked at over them by the PAC 12. A lot of KU fans speculated that’s where they could end up, but make no mistake, those conferences never actually showed as much interest in adding Kansas as KU fans would like to think. Their value is even lower now that it’s obvious the expansion is based on the CFP expansion. Good luck in the MVC or Big East. Maybe if you get lucky the ACC will throw you a bone.
