Sure it does.

When dealing with a counter party who isn’t dealing in good faith, the first step is to fuck them over/delay their scheme.

Step two is to come over the top with a re-raise that ends the hand.

Oh, I get the angry pay back for dismantling the Big-12. What makes me pause is the ability to get the entire non-SEC world to agree to stop the playoff expansion. Why would the PAC-10 left outs want to watch tOSU Bama Clemson and second SEC team play every year?

And given the delusional belief that ESPN hypes all things SEC to our advantage in the playoff selection (here, I kid), why would the non-SEC football world not want 8 other teams to be in the playoff hunt? I’d think all of the programs who think they are in the top 12 would not want to continue watching 4 teams not them play for the MNC?

Just KU from the Big12. Other big names. UNC and UVA know Clemson and FSU are going to jump to the SEC. So they want to land somewhere and their big alums would not go redneck.
ESPN may have catalyzed its own relegation to a regional football channel.

The rest will band together out of self preservation because the SEC has shown they are out to fuck you over by their duplicitous behavior during the playoff expansion talks.

no bullshit, in the hands of competent B1G leadership, y’all shot your wad too soon. Cockblock playoff expansion then slingshot engage @ORD_Buckeye plan of Worldwide Prestige.

You don't add them alone though. Also the B1G needs to be aware they aren't a charity. It isn't their job to save the poor desperate AAU schools. Their job is to do what's best for them

And KU is AAU in the same way Corn was when we let them in. They're clinging to it by the skin of their balls, and the morning that Harvard, Chicago and Yale wake up in a pissy mood and want to fuck with some poor public university, they'll end up like the corn.

If Clemson and FSU bolt (and let's face it, they are stereotypical SEC schools in the way Okie is), then we have better basketball adds in every way in UNC, Duke and even UVA. KU adds nothing, and if Warren takes them I will go on the radio and personally put a bounty on him.

If true, then I am issuing a fatwa on Kevin Warren. You look at a rapidly changing landscape that will define college football for the next generation, and you do not go bold. You do not have vision. You do not swing for the fences and stake your claim as an immortal whose deeds will echo through the halls of Valhalla. INSTEAD, you take a basketball school that's desperate to find a home. May God have mercy on his soul.

I truly think the SEC has already gotten Clemson and FSU in the fold and UNC/UVA know this. Those 2 want the best BB conference if they are going to throw away their ACC founding member legac, they sure as hell want to strengthen the B1G to a level of unquestioned BB supremacy. KU helps this.

ND will follow UNC and UVA. GT possibly too.

SEC will grab VT and NCSU

who knows after that…..but the ACC will go all in for BB retaining WFU, BC and adding some Northeast BB schools

Kansas makes sense as bait for UNC/UVA/GT. I doubt the SEC will bite on Clemson/FSU though. If ESPN is really running the show, they aren't going to sabotage the ACC. That's why the Big XII is getting blown up. Maybe the ACC takes WVU and Cincy.

It really is ESPN vs FOX at this point, and unfortunately, the only major prize left on the board is ND. I just don't see a B1G raid on the PAC.

So instead they should just do exactly what ESECPN wants, because that'll fix things?
