[QUOTE="KillerFrog InD KitchenSink, post: 3028111, member: 4967"] [URL]https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/31868545/source-oklahoma-sooners-texas-longhorns-verge-making-sec-move[/URL] This excerpt was interesting: "Several ACC athletic directors believed that their league would make a push in the next few years to add both Texas and Oklahoma -- along with [URL='https://www.espn.com/college-football/team/_/id/87/notre-dame-fighting-irish']Notre Dame[/URL], which already is a partial ACC member -- as it looks to restructure its TV contract, but the suddenness of the Longhorns' and Sooners' move to the SEC took them by surprise. One ACC AD wondered whether this could be the first domino leading to a massive shake-up that would ultimately result in a 32-team superconference. Two other ADs suggested that the best path forward might be for the ACC, Pac-12 and others to work together toward a new media rights package that could help counter the outsized strength a 16-team SEC would command, with one AD also saying he believed there was minimal value in what would remain of the Big 12."
