Maybe if either of your statements here were correct you'd have something going.

So hypothetically speaking here ... If we take Clemson at their word and is staying in the ACC.

Who replaces them as the front runner to jump ship if FSU does?

Please don't get the thread back on track. We're in the middle of something here.

The only vibe I got from the Big 12 meetings last wee was that Notre Dame and FSU were the only schools the Big 12 would be interested in adding. But most notably was that they were happy with 10, no Championship Game, and ready to move forward.

Just seems that they are leaving a lot of money on the table with no championship game.

Who besides Texass has stated this publicly?

I know OSU, OU, and West Virginia have all said they want the conference to expand.

Multiple times at press conferences during the meetings in KC. Most notably SZ and the Iowa St. AD stating this.

I'm not sure I recall Texas saying the same but they seem to be on board with all the other schools.

Looks like this year's SEC recruiting isn't on the level it has been in the past several seasons.

It's significantly better.

When "SZ" and the "Iowa State AD" are the most notable speakers, you know you're in the big leagues.

When CBS says adding your school doesn't add any value to a conference you know you aren't.

Links to these comments?

The only school actually against expansion is Texas. The other ten schools are either in favor of expansion or are fine either way.

So if the Big 12 doesn't expand, we know who wears the pants.
