Texas sources continue to indicate to Orangebloods.com that if the Big 12 falls apart, the Longhorns would consider "all options."
Then Baylor will probably try the Sec
Baylor is only 15k students.
Texas A&M gets the SEC into Texas.
Texas Tech is a better team.
Texas is who they're gunning for.
Clemson would be high on the list.
Florida State? Miami?
Baylor would fall at #7 or 8 on the list.

Does Oklahoma own a team jet? Because they're going to be racking up a lot of frequent flier miles.
buckle up ND nation, its gunna be a bumpy ride and theres no telling where we will land in all this. although if i had to pick id say big ten, half our rivals are already
there
You won't get the top recruits. These kids now a days want to be on tv and thats all there is to it.
Kids want to be on TV so that they get noticed by NFL scouts. If ND could still get kids into the NFL, then that would be a moot point.
I'm not sure exactly what NBC would do. There's bound to still be some good teams out there, after the Superconferences. The academies are not going to get invited. TCU may, or may not, have a seat at the table. And, really, it's not going to matter if they play top teams, as long as the matchups have interest. Would you stop watching ND, if this happened? I wouldn't. As long as the ratings are there, NBC isn't going to care if we are playing Western Northern Kentucky Junior College every week.
I would still watch the games. The big east would grow into one of the super conferences so they would be of the market. Nbc will care the ratings will drop. Alot of people would quit watching that aren't Norte dame fans to watch ESPN,ABC,or CBS. If you could watch Notre Dame Vs. Delaware or Oklahoma Vs USC. COme on now i know you are very smart poster and fan which would you watch if you aren't a ND fan. Texas will join a conference its just a matter of who whats us more.
sorry, but if it goes tht way, ND and Stanford would both join a supercomference. too much money to leave on the table, even for ND.
And with that... The landscape of college football will start to change forever.
And I don't like it. I know change is inevitable but I'd like to believe that there are other ways to get to a playoff (or what they really want, more $$$$$$$$) than creating super conferences with little to no regard for tradition.
