Message: [QUOTE="nzm136, post: 3433211, member: 2531"] Texas isn’t joining the ACC as a full member. Their status quo > ACC *for them.* The same goes for OU. I have no idea if OU would even take SEC vs co-ruling their own kingdom with UTex. The absolute best move for the ACC is to either get Texas as a partial (Texas would still add value, and it *may* cause OU to jump somewhere, which would (A) end the B12 and (B) make UTex more dependent on the ACC) or give Texas a credible threat to leave, by which they can pull resources away from the smaller guys in the conference (like how PSU forced the B1G to take RU and UMD, so PSU could play in front of donors and recruits). I believe that ACC could use the leverage of a destabilized B12 to eventually push ND to agree to more ACC games (6 or ideally 7 conf games - I’m sure with strings). [/QUOTE]
