This guy is a cheerleader for the demise of the ACC. IMHO, there are only 3 or 4 Big 12 members (Colorado, Arizona, ASU and Kansas) that the SEC or Big 10 "might" want and they have all been turned down at some point or another. The Big 12 has no other TV markets that the P-2 desire. Texas is a huge market but the SEC is already there and there's been rumors of the Big 10 having interest in Texas A&M. The best remaining TV market states for the P-2 are North Carolina, Virginia, Arizona and Colorado (and Colorado is borderline). You can also include Texas (A&M, if they want to leave the SEC), Florida (FSU and Miami) and Georgia (Tech) for the Big 10. Clemson and Notre Dame are the only other schools that have a chance for future P-2 membership. So, there are about 12 schools that have a real chance of P-2 membership. Maybe 15 if Cal and Stanford get another look from the Big 10.

That seems to be the narrative - but the B12, nor her fans, have any
