A LOT of people on a LOT of boards only want Bevo to join like ND did, X number of football games vs. ACC teams each year and full Olympic sports membership, because of how they behaved while in the Big XII. It would put a limit on their trying to be the ultimate power of the conference. Yes, Texas would like football membership in a conference, too, but I think that they believe they could put together an attractive schedule each year as an independent in football like ND. AMOF, the ND fans I asked said they would definitely jump at the chance of having Texas on their schedule every year if Texas has the same arrangement with the ACC that ND has. The Big XII schools need to remember that the only Big XII game on Texas' schedule that really matters to them is Oklahoma. Every other team is readily interchangeable with someone else. The Okies, ND, BYU, plus 5 or 6 ACC games gives them not too many blanks to fill in. The LHN would work like ND's NBC contract for football and broadcast selected Olympic sports Texas home games plus replays of all Texas past games.
