With Texas and A&M in the SEC, and OU, Arkansas, and LSU (border state schools of TX with a large number of passionate fans living in TX) all in the SEC, ESPN has 0 need to add any other TX school to ESPN in order to cover that state. But assuming that the BT will be 100% off ESPN, ESPN is going top want as many midwestern games as possible if the teams have anything to offer in football. Cincy would fit that bill as an ACC member. KU does not because its football sucks, and its football fan base sucks at least as much as its football. There isn't enough talent or population in IA for Iowa St to matter, unless it's paired with Iowa or Nebraska or perhaps Missouri. [/QUOTE]
