[QUOTE="Mountaineer Steve, post: 129486693, member: 1495432"] You act like the ACC is in a position of power over the BIG12 and it is not. ACC 3rd tier rights are bundled into ESPN contract and the per team payout is still less than the BIG12. BIG12 TV right including individual 3rd tier rights is far greater than ACC. The BIG gave the ACC a big FU, when it worked to help the BIG12 get a 10 team CCG game while shutting down the ACCs attempt to rig a Clemson vs FSU every year. The ACC knows it is screwed because one upset and they are done. UNC's only loss game in game one to South Carolina. Had they beating Clemson in the CCG, the ACC would not had made the playoffs. ANY AAU school in the ACC will jump at the chance to move to the BIG where they join a conference with ALL AAU TEAM. making vast more money. The same can be sai about any BIG12 program. However OU won't get an invite no matter how much they beg. The ACC schools are a better geographically fit. No way they make a huge leap to Texas schools leaving them as an outlier. program [/QUOTE]
