You always pay attention to historical data when putting together a plan .The Big10 wants the Texas and Florida markets as well. Doesn’t mean that they will have Texas/ TAMU or Florida/FSU as members anytime soon. It takes 2 to tango and USC wanted out.
USC/UCLA left because the PAC fumbled their way through the realignment period. They could have had Texas and Oklahoma back in 2010, but choose to pass. They could have had the $30 million and destroyed the Big12, but they choose to pass. Every choice they made was wrong and it backfired.
There were Six BCS conferences and through a number of blunders it became the unofficial P5 vs G5 split of the FBS schools. with the Big East dying
The pack repeated the same errors as that conference exactly with the same result .. That the definition of insanity .
The Big 12 to their credit got aggressive and survived
The ACC is simply in a panic when a calm rational plan can save them even if raided .
