Really? According to this ISU writer, A&M was the true villain of realignment. You should be wanting to avoid any conference A&M is in.

I don't blame A&M a bit for wanting to go to the SEC and get away from Texas. I don't care what an ISU person thinks of A&M. Or Texas. Or Tech for that matter.

I hope Tech never plays Texas again. In anything. Ever.

It probably won't happen in my lifetime, but I'd love to see Tech and A&M schedule a home and home.

But Texas?

Eff Texas.

My least favorite schools in college football are Alabama, Ohio State, and Notre Dame. Unless they are playing Texas.

Texas can ****ing rot.

When Brian Kelly leaves a school, those remaining behind have nothing good to say about him. Texas is like the Brian Kelly of CFB.

I still don't want to schedule t.u. in anything. Sadly, we have no choice.

LOL! He just mad and jealous no one sees any value anywhere other than the big 12 for them. Now they are stuck with a conglomeration of schools from conferences that were left behind. At any rate, how did our leaving hurt his little school?

This part has aged really well!

So, A&M, have fun in the SECSECSEC. Take comfort in knowing that even when your Fightin' Texas Aggies are getting their brains stomped in by LSU that you can do that stupid ass chant.

Most likely, in about 10-15 years, the big brands will just form their own setup. The networks will fall all over themselves to show an NFL and NBA setup. The Football setup could easily be about 30-50 brands. Hoops would probably be about 50-75 brands. The best of the Power 4 will be ranked by the following criteria:

Football pedigree (TV ratings, records, titles, facilities, and market)
State flagships in populous states
Money
Basketball pedigree (think Big East, Gonzaga, etc...)
Academics

My guess is that there are Big 12 and middle level ACC schools that could get into the setup, but it would depend on the size of the new setup and their positions within their state's hierarchy. IOW, we know that UNC, FSU, Clemson, and Miami are in. I'd imagine that Virginia, Va Tech, NC State, Georgia Tech, Pitt, Louisville, Stanford, Arizona, ASU, Utah, and Colorado, are probables for football. Kansas and Duke will get in on the hoops angle, in some form or fashion. The ones that are harder to know are Tech, OSU, KSU, ISU, and WVU, public schools with money, but may not have the pull to get included for a variety of reasons. Your almost certainly excluded programs include the private schools in the Big 12 and ACC, as well as schools like Cal, UH, Cincy, and UCF, which are all excluded for a lot of reasons. Finally, I'd imagine that schools like Miss State, Purdue, Northwestern, and Vanderbilt are gonna be left out, too, as football programs, but any of those listed above may get basketball exemptions to be included in that sport--probably the same for baseball and softball, too.

When BigXII teams "somehow" make it to the Championship Game, they lose 65-7 to SEC teams.

"I hope Tech never plays Texas again. In anything. Ever"

Then stop paying softball players $1,000,000 to pitch and you won't need to worry about it ....
