My take

WVU is pushing hard in favor, Texas opposing (champion of the obvious, I know). My take is that Texas is maybe hesitant for FSU/Clemson because they are making a big push for ND. If Texas knows that ND is no longer an option, I would be very surprised if they stood in the way of adding FSU and Clemson.

I'm not sure where some of you are going with this...

If the Big 12 goes to 13 and 14 teams... they have a renegotiated contract that is very substantial... ummm... large.
They want 14. They are trying to get ND in at #13 or 14. Why would they focus on FSU/ND and stop with all the money left out there?
They have 12. They are pushing hard to get ND. Throwing out all kinds of incentives. Other schools are lobbying hard for 13 and 14... but ND trumps them all and takes a spot if they want.
It is more likely today than in the past... but still a longshot.

no question... they love being independent...

but the new SEC/Big XII alliance pretty much aligns the 4 major conferences and is worth a lot of money.
No one is going to give ND a "special clause" to get involved in that and stay independent.
They know they have to make a decision.
The Big XII's biggest pitch is their own network... but I still think they are Big 10 bound.

the BIG XII would be in good enough shape to get Arkansas back. With 16 teams, crazy TV deal, and maybe the only consistent challenge to the SEC, they would have a lot of weight to throw around. Gets Arkansas's old rivalries back. Can't believe I just wrote that like it was happening and getting strategy for the future.

The lack of even close to unanimity "for" makes me suspect

just how lucrative a B12 TV package would be with the new additions. Someone could be blowing smoke to attract other schools.
