[QUOTE="CEB, post: 1007329, member: 4905"] The sequence is correct but the causation you’re citing is suspect at best. Yes, ESPN would pay the SEC more if they had OU / UT, but it was the SEC and those two schools that did it. As long as we’re speculating, UT butthurt that A&M had more Tv money might have been the biggest driver of all. OU was simply the best travel partner. UCLA / USC to Big was the same… espn was not involved; Fox ended up the benefactor. ESPN was still in talks with the rest of the PAC for a reasonable deal but the PAC would have none of it. B12 slipped in and took the deal that PAC wouldn’t accept and panic did the rest. The irony is that the PAC could probably be alive today with a deal similar to B12 and ACC if they didn’t shoot themselves in the foot. Wazzou and OSU were the losers. The ACC could go the same way, but i doubt it. I think there are a solid 10 schools that won’t find a spot in one of the other three. That’ll put the ACC squarely 4th in the power structure, but I don’t see a PAC /OSU /wazzou fate [/QUOTE]
