Best guess would be that they realize the B1G is fully in bed with Fox due to the BTN and ESPN wants to control everything except the the B1G content.

ESPN just destroyed the B12, which Fox has a part of.  They fully own the ACC and SEC.  If they get the PAC/ACC they fully own the rights to everything but the B1G.
Doesn't Fox ownership of the BTN go away in 2025?

Well @847badgerfan I tried.  

I tried to make Texas to the B1G happen.  It would certainly be my preference.  But I guess I'm not the big decision-maker in Austin, after all. ;)

Would OU leave without the other OSU?
When Boren was president of OU, he wouldn't hear of it.  Current administration seems to have no problem.

This is how bad the remainder of the B12 is:

The AAC (not the ACC, mind you) is looking at who they can "poach" from the remainder...

https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/college-football-realignment-aac-may-look-to-poach-big-12-teams-should-texas-and-oklahoma-exit-per-report/

Any team that can get an offer from either the B1G or ACC (I don't see the PAC-12 reaching for any of them) should consider themselves honored and take it in a second.

Could the AAC reach P5 level, or close to it?  Did you know Florida and Vandy are "associate members" of the AAC?

AAC Football: 2021 is most important year ever for conference (saturdayblitz.com)

Built from the ashes of the Big East, the AAC raided Conference-USA to take eight members: UCF, USF, SMU, East Carolina, Memphis, Tulsa, Houston and Tulane, along with Navy from the independents to form a new Group of Five power.

Since it’s inception in 2013, the AAC has been that power they hoped to become. The conference has produced six New Year’s Six teams and one claimed national champion, UCF (the Knights won the championship in the Colley Matrix, which is officially recognized by the NCAA) in 2017.  (Ha)

In just a few years, the AAC has become the strongest member of the Group of Five. The conference presents itself as a member of the Power Six as it views itself among the big boys of college football. For some, it’s justified. The stats are there, the wins are there and the quality of football is there. For others, basically anyone who isn’t a conference representative, coach, athlete, or fan it’s just a silly branding that makes the conference sound and feel bigger than it is.

I could see WestVa going to ACC.  

Not sure what school the B1G would want, maybe KU?   Y'all would know better than I would.

Like I said before, I don't think it would be the worst thing in the world for the PAC to reach for Texas Tech and another Texas school, but not Baylor or TCU, because I don't think the Left Coast powers of the conference would stand for one or more small church schools.  Houston asctually makes some sense, I think.  The PAC is going to have to do something because otherwise they're going to get left so far in the dust that they'll look like the Big East in a few years.  Turning on television sets east of the Rockies, and getting some games in earlier time slots, could only help them.

Kansas State, Baylor, TCU, Oklahoma State, and Iowa State, are probably all SOL with respect to remaining in a power conference.

And no, I wouldn't say I'm "happy" about any of this.  But conference expansion/realignment has been going on since the first conferences were formed over 100 years ago.  We all have our own  narrow view of when it was "stable" but in reality, it never has been.

Not by adding the dregs of the B12.

They'll drag those teams down to their level, rather than being raised to P5 level by their addition.

I have not yet see four conferences that make any sense, to me, but perhaps someone has something.  I suggested the AZ teams and CO could find common ground with the residue of the 12 and form perhaps the Pac 20 East or something like that.

WV could get left out somehow.
This might work, but if you add Colorado to the two Arizonas, the number in each division are 11 and 9. Another possibility to get to 10 in the division is Utah pairing up with Colorado and the Little 8.

Would it be better to move teams into the AAC or into the Big 12?  The big 12 just needs 4 teams to be whole. UH is one obvious choice. You still have some decent football programs left in Ok State and Tex Tech. The Big 12 would still have better name recognition than the AAC.

Doesn't matter. Still no helmets.

ACC loses 2 to the B1G.
ACC takes 3 from the conf formerly known as the Big 12.
PAC takes 3 as well.
ND to the ACC.
BYU to the PAC.
.
You have your 4 superconferences of 16 teams each.
.
Two Big 12 programs are SOL.

Who from the ACC to the B1G and why?
