[QUOTE="Charleston Mountie, post: 129496390, member: 1427666"] If only it were so simple. The GOR is not the main thing holding the Big-12 together. I can understand your confusion on the issue since that is the ONLY thing holding the ACC together. Of all of the things holding the Big-12 together, the GOR has the least impact, if it has any at all. Texas can afford to do what it wants to do; can go where it wants and answer to no one if it is what they want. The GOR has zero impact on them. Neither the Big Ten nor the ACC wanted WVU and outside of a brief flirtation with the SEC, the SEC does not want WVU for one simple reason - location. So the GOR has no impact on WVU. Texas Tech, TCU and Baylor are the dingle berries hanging on to Texas, they hope to stay with Texas regardless even if they know that might not always be the case. The GOR has no affect on them. Kansas is not desired by any conference, even if they tout their basketball and AAU status - it just isn't enough. Iowa State tried to force its way in the Big Ten and lost. The SEC has even less interest and the Pac-12 does not know there is an Iowa State. The GOR does not affects neither of them. Kansas State and Oklahoma State are just P5 middies no matter where they go and thus they are not needed by any conference as a "nice grab". Their academics are ok and their teams do so-so from time-to-time, but they aren't anything special and everyone knows it. The GOR has no impact on them. Last is Oklahoma. The GOR would have an affect on Oklahoma if Oklahoma had a place to go but it doesn't. They fail to meet Big Ten standards, have no traveling partners for the Pac-12 and the SEC does not another heavy hitting team in the SEC West and in any case currently has no team to balance Oklahoma to keep the conference balanced. So, even if Oklahoma wanted out, which it doesn't, it has no one that wants it solo. The GOR has no impact on Oklahoma. So NO team in the Big-12 is affected by the GOR, it the politicians of states like Iowa and Kansas that wanted the GOR when they thought they were going to be left behind. It does affect them, because they think it means something. It doesn't. mean anything to the Big-12 the way they think it does. The ACC on the other hand has to be thankful there is a GOR in pace, otherwise they would have fallen apart already. [/QUOTE]
