If the SEC decides to go 16 then if they get Alabama and Auburn to play ball then that would make a very natural East West divide after you add Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas and either Texas A&M or Texas Tech. Yeah that might lead to a massive increase in challenge for those Big12 teams but their conference would in that situation be Texas Texas A&M Oklahoma Oklahoma State Ole Miss Mississippi State LSU Arkansas Is it really that much more difficult than the Big12 South was? You might say so but Arkansas and LSU are rivalries of Texas that you just dont see much from anymore but could easily be rekindled border rivalries and that is definately good for Texas. Texas could regularly beat Ole Miss and Mississippi State. This is not a bad situation for any of those four transplants from the Big12. You mentioned Missouri starting it off. In my opinion it is Notre Dame that will start it off when NBC says that their ratings have tanked too far to keep that relationship going. They will jump ship for the B1G and the B1g will welcome them immediately in which case they will then look for another team to add to counter that and to me the obvious choice for that will be Missouri. When that happens if no other Big12 teams have jumped yet then it will be down to 9 and all thats left from the North is Kansas, Kansas State and Iowa State. That will be when the Sun will begin setting upon the Big12. I still think that Texas teams travelling to the West coast regularly to play games sounds great on paper but there are plenty of examples to show that travelling West through two time zones to play games is just not a good idea. It really messes with your team. That is when you do it just once, a move to the PAC would mean doing that multiple times every year. It is costly for one and the bang for the buck is much less then the possibility of winning the SEC West division that I outlined above.

Confs dont Run realignment. The Networks and those TV contracts and the Presidents/ chancellors run it. Texas athletic department makes the most money / revenue in all of the NCAA by far. But they view themselves as an elite academic school. The only confs Texas would even listen to the phone call without hanging up is PAC 12 or the Big 10. This is even though the ACC has the highest rated academic schools according to US news rankings.

Some of you are confusing real life college President / athletic department and Network Exec decisions, with EA football game NCAA 12 custom confs.

The Big East has the most TVs in its footprint by far and Networks pay for those tvs. Its pretty much a sure bet that by next summer the Big East and all its TV viewers will get a huge contract and likely about 17- 18 mil per team per season. If you guys just look at football then no the big East isnt worth that much. But as a total revenue generating package and the right timing you best believe the Big East is gonna get paid.
Facilities and coaches salaries, and recruiting budgets cost dollars. The more money you have the better you will be.

Comcast wants to have something to put on the Versus channel. It wants to compete with ESPN. Having Big East Basketbal on 7 days a week would be a hell of a start. Believe it or not MIllions of TVs would tune in to watch UCONN vs Syracuse, The very next night Millions more would Watch Nova vs Georgetown. the PAC 12 got paid because comcast outbid ESPN by 50 mil for PAC 12 rights and FoX came in and helped. With no more college sports programming available until 2017. u best believe Comcast will go hard for those BIG East TVs. Money always has a place in realingnment. the ACC realignment was for money. You best believe if the Big East gets paid they could start raiding some the other confs right back.

Teams some of you might not know that has talked to the Big East or is being evaluated already.

BYU- was offered football only might get a full member offer

Kansas-basketball school who would jump at a chance to play big east bball talked last year.

Kstate-see kansas

Houston-State of Texas/ TCU rivary

Central Florida- One of the largest schools in the country, in Florida USF potential rival

Nova- Philly tv viewers

The Networks want Nova thinking Philly Tv viewers. The Big East doesnt know if nova the fcs champ are good enough or ready for the jump.
