So what if the B12 and ACC both disintegrate?

[QUOTE="doneagain, post: 129305761, member: 1396145"] It's July, everyone's "love to hate" topic is swirling about, conference expansion, but no one seems to think two conferences could end up failing. I am sitting here waiting on fireworks to start, so just for the gosh darn heck of it, I offer up the idea that 2 conferences, the B12 & ACC could end up failing. There are a myriad of reasons why the conferences might fail, but when you boil it down to it, money is the only real reason. So instead of creating back stories, I will just state where I think schools might end up in a probably unlikely scenario where both conferences die off. SEC: Oklahoma, NC State, VT, Kansas State, Pitt, WVU (Note: 20 teams... The SEC would like all new states to expand its footprint for the SEC Network, and if Florida State can't get into the SEC because of Florida, Oklahoma State won't get in with Oklahoma.) PAC-12: Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, Kansas, Iowa State, Baylor, TCU (Note: 20 teams... I believe Texas would want several regional teams of close proximity to join along with them, and the way the P12 TV package is set up, the Longhorn Network would/could act as one of the P12 regional networks, only it would be Longhorn specific.) BIG 10: Virginia, Boston College, Syracuse, UNC, Louisville, Clemson, GT, FSU (Note: 22 teams... My guess is the B10 is less concerned with how many teams it has overall, and will eventually forego the AAU criteria since Nebraska doesn't have it. Like the SEC, it wants to sell its network to new high population areas, so it needs to expand its footprint into new states.) Notre Dame, Duke and Wake Forest were left out. Notre Dame will be fine and has NBC. It is not out of the realm of possibility that the B10 would take Duke and Wake too, but they do not add to the footprint after UNC is selected. However the UNC-Duke basketball matchup is a money maker and might be worth it to basketball-friendly B10 brass. A more realistic scenario than the one above is that a handful of schools that bring better money to the B10, P12, & SEC get cherry picked and the leftovers end up merging in some makeshift throw together conference that might include BYU and a few AAC schools.
