I don't expect any additional conference realignment for a few years. Big 12 teams have no incentive to move now, FOX just backed up a dump truck full of cash for the new TV deal. That will make the teams content for awhile, except for A&M because they want to feel like a big dog.

Once realignment starts up again, I expect we will see the mega conferences that everyone has talked about over the last year or two. Texas is the wildcard and they may just go independent; no conference will let them come in with the Longhorn Network, but if it is successful they won't be willing to give up the money to join a conference.

I had read some stuff last summer - can't remember where -that aTm was essentially broke, and that would eventually precipitate their move to a new conference.

I would think the new TV deal would stregthen their coffers a bit - but I would never understand how they were "broke" in the first place.
