Network still an option but Texas a hard sell.

ACC has the advantage in that Texas is in the Big 12.

But to research and stick w/their "good ol'" connections, doesn't make sense. But then again, B12 be B12. [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B]‏@theDudeofWV[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/hoorayforeric']@hoorayforeric[/URL] Right now it's all Texas. Texas doesn't care if KSU or WVU have a 10% better chance at making the playoffs with expansion.
