Actually, WVU is as well. But yes, UT, OU, Mizzou, Colorado, Nebraska and Arkansas all left.   A&M probably is "flagship" tier.  B12 is going to survive, but I don't think it's in better shape than the ACC.

I agree the ACC is a better collection of schools/programs and a better fit, geographically and otherwise (soccer for example).  If the B12 is talking to us, we should be talking to the ACC and letting them know their chance to grab the last school in their footprint is going away.

Disagree that the Pac will remain strong.  The writing is on the wall.  No TV deal.  There really aren't that many people west of the Rockies and the percentage of them that are college sports fans is much lower than in the midwest, south, or midatlantic.  UW and Oregon are the two with strong support and they are likely gone.  Cal and Stanford somewhat famously only generate any interest when they play each other.   There are some demographic reasons for this.
