How many teams will be left when the dust settles in a few years? I think there's a way for all the teams to still have some involvement. I will explain that at the end of this list. Here's my list of the top 32 programs and a list if it goes to 48. There's some debate if it goes to 48, but not much debate if it stops at 32. I guess one could debate Arizona State, but that's about it. The top 32 at least come close to carrying their own weight. Everyone below that line is losing money for t

This is great content for free.

I've had multiple conversations over the last decade with aggy types where they were crowing about their SRC membership.  Each time I made the claim that UT could get an invite any time we wanted they laughed and talked about how there was no chance we could get the votes.  aggy would never let it happen.

Guess that argument is put to rest.

Aggy should abstain so the vote is 13-0 and then we can then brand it on their dog.

That argument never happened. It un-happened. They will not recall saying that. tu is now in the SRC because Aggy flexed their power and got tu in.

On top of that these things are designed to survive hurricanes. FEMA stages out of them 

That one is on Dessau Road in Austin..... if a hurricane is that strong when 200 miles inland, you don't want to be anywhere near it (geez, like 1961 Hurricane Carla strength or worse), speaking from experience of all the hurricanes & tropical storms I've seen growing up and living in Houston.

The one difference is that ESPN and Fox kept the TV contracts the same after the change of members.  Will they do that for 3 years without OU and UT?  If so, UT and OU forfeit one year's revenues, about $40 million each.  If not, then that's when it gets nasty.

I think this is the direction it will ultimately go.  This gives the Big 12 some time to explore a new deal beyond 2025, keep their "power conference" label, etc.  I'd guess FOX wants no part of that though so maybe there will need to be some financial concessions on that from Disney to facilitate it.  

The "Remaining 8" plus Houston and BYU or Cincinnati is not a terrible outcome for the Big 12.  It positions them well to pick up PAC or ACC teams when realignment hits one or the other of those conferences.  I'm not sure how the relationship with Disney is going to be after all of this.  But maybe they can park inventory with FOX and CBSSports.

Get their asses in a room and negotiate us out of this bullshit conference that has its top two programs playing at 11am 72 times since 2012. 

2:30 kickoff for TX/OU will be one of the biggest wins in this whole deal.
