My concern is more that I'm still not 100% positive that the Big 12 is a stable league. Texas and OU have flirted far too many times with other options, that unless there is some rock hard stone cold deal in place with some entirely prohibitive exit fee approaching $100 million, I don't believe that one of the two goons won't be looking elsewhere some time in the next few years, and the league wouldn't blow up again. Don't forget the SEC is sitting there at 13, which they won't do permanently, and if the BE merges to the B12, ND has to put their sports somewhere, which may be the B1G or ACC, leaving both with an odd number and looking elsewhere. I still believe if the invite to the ACC came, especially if it's coupled with ND as the other team, that is an opportunity that cannot be turned down. If ND moves to the ACC, none of the ACC football schools are going anywhere. This Big 12 scenario would be a good option, and certainly far, far better than the C-USA 2.0 + military academies idea Marinade has right now.
