B10+2 because of the Alliance

The Alliance was a distraction to freeze everyone into inaction while the B10+2 worked against them behind the scenes. Without it, the PAC could easily have sought out new teams before USC and UCLA announced they were leaving. Houston, SMU, BYU, SDSU and everyone from the B12 was available back then. Things might have turned out very differently if the PAC had taken, say OK State, Kansas, Texas Tech and Baylor (or even just two of those), especially if we had helped them by taking WVU at the same time. ** Edited by Truthahn at 8/9/2023, 1:43:08 PM

Not just PAC, the ACC had the opportunity to grab any of 20+ teams
