Message: [QUOTE="WoadBlue, post: 3929104, member: 1145"] The Big 12 was in big trouble as soon as Nebraska left, because that meant Texas would be even more of an irritant to everybody else, especially A&M. Without Texas but still with OU,l the Big 12 would be barely hanging on as a Power Conference. The Big 12 now is demoted forever, and it might not even survive. The Big 12 is very much the SWC 2.0. Lubbock indeed is in the middle of nowhere. There are more cows than people for that sub-region of TX. If ESPN were to tell the ACC that it would get a hefty paycheck by expanding into TX, I'd probably argue to take TCU first because it is part of the very large, and wealthy, DFW TV market, which is filled with top recruits.
