Except... by that time the herd had already been stampeded (similar to what FSU's chair did, and what Clemson's BOT are doing now, those fans are now ready to bolt), didn't matter what the arguments were for or against, the grassroots wanted to move come hell or high water, and the president had to bow to their will. When the decision was made at Mizzou, that bell simply could not be un-rung. FSU and Clemson are facing a radically different situation which pretty much demands that they leave if they can.

It's not like Texas can't afford to build anything they want at any time. They don't need anymore money. The concern with the LHN was the televising and highlighting of high school games and when the other member schools voiced their concern they immediately dropped the idea. |

Mizzou left because the bell could not be unrung, they couldn't tell everyone "oh hey, never mind, everything's cool, we're staying" because people got used to, and fell in love with the thought of going to the SEC.

By the way, there are some internet rumblings that the BOT might come out and deny all the rumors of being interested in the Big 12. That isn't necessarily something to be surprised about, but it depends on the words. If its the standard "we're committed to the ACC", "we've had no discussions or contact", etc, no one's going to pay attention to that but ACC homers.
I would be very surprised if they came out very, very strongly, bluntly, and directly to say it would not happen, that would be different and probably stupid on their end.

Travel costs in non-revenue sports will be what decides where FSU/Clemson go. For how bad of a fit people said Mizzou was, it still borders 3 SEC states. FSU and Clemson have some major traveling to do to get to any other campus, outside of playing each other.
I don't have mapquest out, but I would almost bet that Morgantown is the next closest. |

The Big Ten Network showed everyone how much revenue was being left on the table. Why sell your rights to ESPN when you can market your inventory yourself. Big Ten and SEC schools will eventually be pulling in over $20MM per year just in tier 3 revenue by increasing the sum of the parts. But go on chirping about how ku basketball on Metro Sports is where the "real" money is. |

In Chip Brown's latest update, he claims that UT/OU to the ACC was legit, but they wanted MU/KU instead of Okie Light and Tech.
