[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 129486549, member: 1428007"] I see two possible outcomes. The conference will decide to expand counciding with the Big Tens new contracts. A CCG will be enacted and there will be a significant bump in payouts. A conference network will be arranged that gradually phases in the LHN. Either the networks will renegotiate the Big 12 deal to extend much further out, or in 2025 the conference will redo the existing contracts with a much higher payout than possible now. In 2025-2027 the new BIG 12 will work to add ACC schools as that conference runs out of financial means to keep pace and FSU and others decide to move on. Or, the conference will not expand, leading to yearly renatches which will knock the BIG 12 out if the playoffs numerous years. Negative press will escalate, recruiting will drop off, the conference will be offered a lowball contract after years of non competitive teams nationally and lower tv ratings than others. OU will have been in the planning stages of departing for years and will do so with OSU to the Pac 12- quickly followed by UT and Texas Tech. Kansas and Iowa State will be absorbed in the Big 10 as they are AAU. Baylor and TCU will make the SEC a 16 team conference. Kansas State and WVU will be left searching for homes as the ACC works to add UConn and Notre Dame to finish off their 16 team league. You will be claiming all the while this is in the works that the ACC is falling apart any day now so the BIG 12 should hold off doing anything. [/QUOTE]
