McCall Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Certainly adds to the "Texas to the ACC" talk. Or the ACC is anticipating an SEC raid.So when will the Big Ten get involved again?Supposedly, the ACC has no problem with Texas keeping the Longhorn Network, unlike the Pac-12 and SEC do. And, Texas would still be a big fish in the ACC.That's because with Florida State and Va Tech as their only real possible threat, they'd dominate the ACC.

Texas has been a powerhouse for over half a century.In Texas's case they fell off the map from 1984 'til 1998. 14 years seems like more than "a few bad seasons". And if you ask me, they've only been a power since Mack Brown arrived. Prior to their Rose Bowl win in '05, their last time they ended a season ranked no.1 in either poll was 1963.

McCall Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Texas has become one of the highest money-making entities in College Football. Though you can say the same about the players at Miami, Nevin Shapiro just doesn't pull the same weight as Bevo does.

RyanMcD29 Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Yeah I was just about to post that. ESPN and CBS are reporting the same.

Though you can say the same about the players at Miami, Nevin Shapiro just doesn't pull the same weight as Bevo does.Actually Miami doesn't have that much money behind it. It's a small private school with a middling-to-poor fanbase. Their one advantage was their immediate access to South Florida talent and a willingness to turn a blind eye to any NCAA violations/criminal escapades on the part of the players.

rams80 Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Marinatto said there is no conference rule to force a member to notify the commissioner it has applied to another conference. John Marinatto is an incredibly incompetent commissioner.
