Does Oklahoma always vote with TCU?. Does Northwestern Always vote with OSU & PSU?

Same for WVU.

B12 found out that SEC could care less about their interests.

P12, B10 or ACC/B12 merger.

Texas used that as an excuse to get rid of less desirable schools.

ME: It seems to me that the Big 12 needs the ACC to vote with them for protection. Money is the reason why. [/QUOTE]
