NFL Readiness? There's no doubt that adding top teams from Texas and Oklahoma will aide in SEC recruiting with a trickle down effect. It'll be easy to tell recruits they are the best and if you come to XYZ SEC school you will play with best against the best.
We also know being a highly touted recruit us no guarantee to even get drafted, though odds are higher. Will playing tougher games week in and week out help a recruit get to the next level? So much happens in those 3-5 yeats in campus. Will they work hard? Will they lose PT to the 3 other highly touted recruits at their positions? Will a player blossom at schools in lower conferences? I'm thinking the mental grind will help some and hurt some because this is their first time leaving the nest (i.e. home, hometown,, and their high school pond). Could more tougher games affect more players negatively than it helps?Red and Black are more of an Attitude than merely a color combination.

However, the power designation comes from money, and that only comes when TV contracts believe your viewership with be high. Neither the AAC nor the left behind 8 move the needle in viewership. Add in that none of those schools, or combination of schools, bring in even half of the history/clout as OU or UT Austin alone, let alone with Big 12 losing both.Red and Black are more of an Attitude than merely a color combination.

For reference, even at a 50% reduction, that $14 million per school for the remaining Big 12 members would be roughly double what the new AAC TV deal brings in for its programs each year.

Big 12 commish Bob Bowlsby estimates that the remaining eight Big 12 schools could lose $14 million per year in TV revenue upon Oklahoma and Texas' departure. Bowlsby says Big 12 distributes roughly $28 million in TV $$ per school. OU/Texas = about 50% of that.
So, Im guessing the magic number for the AAC to retain everyone and add Big12 schools is a renegotiated value with ESPN of $14m per school. Ill take take.

14m isn't enough to elevate us much though it would certainly help with the budget... I'm reading that Notre Dame isn't interested in the ACC so our only hope is WVU pitching us as a partner to join ACC... however, ACC could want someone in Texas even though it makes no sense geographically... (unless they goto 20 and make a West Division... who knows). Still holding out some hope we don't get stuck in the AAC forever

You’re forgetting the 100+ million the schools would split from Oklahoma and Texas leaving the conference. If it dissolves they owe nothing. However if the Big 12 stays they have to pay their leaving fee which is EXPENSIVE.
