[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 881361, member: 1776"] USC and UCLA are 2 large brands that are also AAU universities. That is an easy decision for both parties if the interest is there and all the TV contracts line up relatively nicely for the B10 and P12 teams. B10 took Rutgers and MD for the TV markets - the ability to charge a higher rate for carriage of the B10 network due to having teams within the markets. Don't know if that is still an item for them, if it is then that is really all that GT brings to the table. I think B10 would take UNC in a heartbeat if they could (9th largest state in the US in population, just behind GA). Both of those states will overtake Ohio and close in on ILL over the next decade. The issue for any conference wanting any ACC team is the combination of the buyout and the GoR. B10 funded both MD and Rutgers departures. They (and the SEC) would have to pay alot more to take anyone else from the ACC and also the GoR means no rights to any games that televise those previous members until 2036. Duke is just like Kansas. Great basketball programs that have no football following and so have no value right now to other conferences. When the B12 was breaking apart no other P5 conferences were interested in Kansas even with their outstanding basketball brand. If this happens it likely would have been better for the remaining B12 teams to merge with the remaining P12 teams, but the B12 picking up 4 new members makes that harder to see. [/QUOTE]
