Message: [QUOTE="WoadBlue, post: 2757870, member: 1145"] I am not certain that Texas was offered the same 5/8ths football deal ND got, but as we were after ND since before we got BC as #12, I have no doubt that such a deal would have been offered to ND first. What I am certain about now is that Texas is on the table for both an ND deal and full membership with ND. Texas is not wanting to blow up the Big 12, but if that ball gets rolling, Texas is not going to be left with a new SWC, nor will it go SEC. And since Aggie went SEC, Texas boosters have realized that if Texas gets into a conference based outside the South with Aggie in the SECm Texas sports will suffer vis a vis Aggie, perhaps in a big way. So, Texas is far more likely to join the ACC than to join any other conference. The SEC has not gotten to the point of securing OU, which it wants very badly, by offering Ok St because the SEC is far from confident that getting OU would make up for Texas going ACC. [/QUOTE]
