Nope. If you are going to add teams, you need to add teams that add to the football inventory. With the Big East looking to secure a huge deal from NBC/Comcast next year, football inventory will be key to that deal. And let's get it straight, Football and basketball are the only spots that matter. Adding a Texas to the league gives you a few good extra games, but it also takes away good games. If Texas wants to go independent, they can let basketball and baseball die in Conference USA or the Sun Belt.
