Message: [QUOTE="SubbaBub, post: 1833576, member: 523"] None of this makes any sense. The Leftover 8 have no options. Texas can only stay in the B12, move to the ACC, or go independent. This talk of a NEW B12 includes which schools? None from the SEC. If Texas is starting its own conference without OU, who would they get? All the Texas schools not named A&M, big whoop. Nebraska isn't joining that mess, neither FSU nor Clemson is joining that mess, none of the P12. So it's the B12 + P5 schools? Hasn't that failed already multiple times? Where are these schools outside the L8 coming from, Mexico? As for the a relief plan, where are they going? UT - ACC OU - B1G, SEC KU - B1G (maybe) OSU - SEC (maybe, if OU goes B1G) KSU - nope TTU - nope Baylor - double nope TCU - nope ISU - nope WVU - nope So the leftover 6/7/8 are going to do what? Invite 4 - 6 teams G5 teams with zero leverage. ( how much leverage did the AAC have in selection of teams, the share of the network contract? Less than zero, UConn, Cincy, and USF had to reach into their own pockets of settlement money to share with these new programs. So unless any relief plan is to expand and simultaneously negotiate a new GOR/CFP Bowl contract, and a new media contract, then there is no relief plan. How is that any different than simply expanding by 4 teams now, keeping UT and OU in the fold. Wouldn't ESPN/Fox prefer that to having a 5th wheel P5 conference? Are the L8 that gullible? [/QUOTE]
