Hear me out on this: the Big TwENty

I think Texas is still a much better fit for the B1G culturally / academically than the SEC. Apparently UT and OU approached B1G at same time as SEC, but OU's lack of membership in AAU nixed a twofer offer.

AAU membership is a baseline for B1G membership, which narrows down to these possible expansion candidates:

P12: USC UCLA Stanford Cal UA UW UO UU CU
B12: KU, ISU
ACC: Pitt UVa UNC Duke GT

I think the smartest move would be a Dear John letter to Rutgers & MD, poach some Pac 12 teams, ISU & KU, and then Mizzoo and Texas from SEC. There is no East Coast market for CFB.
