It’s still a massive amount of money. And the AAC and B12 aren’t the only players. It’s a big machine with lots of parts. Bird in hand…
What I mean to say is if they plan to invite two teams to the p5, even if for just 3 years, you would be a fool to refuse if you are g5
When President Khator came along she had to replace our negotiators in Austin to get us to a higher level of income. I think the AAC will need to make the same kind of changes.
really don’t want Baylor and TCU… honestly don’t see the appeal of either
I guess in this set up you play a 9 game conference schedule, your 4 pod members and 5 in another pod that you are lined up with that year in the same “division”? Top division teams play for championship. Every two years switch which pods are in the same division.
Baylor brings nothing. SMU is in Dallas so we don’t need TCU either.
I would rather have TCU.
I agree. TCU is a better choice.
That would definitely be the easiest from a competitive standpoint, but basically everyone in the conference needs access to either Texas or Florida. Navy, in particular, joined the conference with the understanding they’d be playing in Texas, and would be very unhappy with this arrangement.
Maybe we just go East/West, take UConn instead of BYU, and flip Navy to the West? 9 games, no crossover, but everyone gets what they need from a recruiting standpoint.
Whatever happens you have to have Tech. If they land in the MWC they’ll thump those guys every year in basketball and 2 out of every 3 in football.
Thats a one program advertisement for the PAC playing half their games in an adjacent time zone.
Better to keep them middle of the pack in our conference.
Well, here’s to my hopes that UT and Aggie are forever buried into the depths of the SEC never to be heard from again. That’s my dream. 
And Baylor in the Sun Belt or independent because nobody else wants them.
Baylor & TCU can join Liberty and go to some conference that would take them.
I agree. It would feel like the WAC redux.

SEC unanimously invites UT and OU.
RIP big 12 now tiny 8
Irate 8!
wait aggy voted in favor of Texas…well, so much for the objection…
It has to be awkward for Aggie to their such a hissy fit and then to go sit in the corner and play with their toys when they got told to by the grown ups
The invitation is effective July 1, 2025. Lot of animosity and angst between now and then. Of course, that may change after a lot of posturing and legal maneuvers. Meanwhile, the AAC can build it’s image a lot before it accepts refugees from the B12. They may get some help in that from ESPN.
Regardless, the next TV deal with the remnants of the B12 will be a small fraction of what is is currently.
