[QUOTE="MikeRafone, post: 129303853, member: 1482681"] Texas and Notre Dame have been flirting with each other for years. If Texas wants ND, and ND is willing to join for all sports, it's a done deal. Notre Dame has more than enough money to walk away from it's hybrid deal with the ACC. It would make the Big 12 a national conference and burn the *** of the Big-10 who have been convinced for decades when the time comes that ND is forced in to conference, the Big 10 will be it. The question would be, how do you hold a conference together with two teams that have their own TV networks? On BYU. How would the Big-12 deal with two extra years of eligibility that Mormon athletes there now get for their missions? The kid sits for his first year, then comes back at 21, fully grown, but still a redshirt freshman? That's a huge competitive advantage I can't see any of the members of the Big 12 standing for.
