Texas owns that conference like the Carolina schools own the ACC only it's one school, not 2 to 4.  
 
That said, the Big 12 is desperate and still a bit nervous over losing good schools and having the PAC 12 peaking over their shoulder so I would not be surprised to see them making promises to schools like Clemson/FSU that they could make more money there.  I think it's working because Swofford seems to be a bit worried and is making sure he can get as much cash as possible for the ACC.   It may be just my opinion but the Big 12 needs FSU/Clemson because Louisville and BYU do not appeal to them football wise and will not keep schools from looking around and again, especially with the PAC 12 out there.   The true relationship between OU/Texas is a huge key here, not the perception of it but the real one that we may not know about.   If poop hits the fan Texas, TT, OU and OSU could be out of there and if they can swing a deal for Kansas which imo is what the PAC 12 would love for their hoops, they are gone.   The PAC should have gone UT/TT/OU/OSU/KU and KSU instead of Colorado and Utah.
 
Now, if we have a split with the Big10/Pac and the SEC/ACC/Big 12 over this Rose Bowl playoff thing, I see the Big 10 and PAC12 pushing hard, real hard for some of the other Big 3 schools.   The ACC can not just sit still and be content that no one has left them because we know that throughout history those who do that get burned so it's extremely important that Swofford keeps them happy because if the TV numbers add up enough to make that 20 Million ok to pay, we have a problem.
