IMO they will eventually add two of either Louisville, Cincinnati or BYU. But if they let the ACC get Louisville and/or Cincinnati and/or UConn then I don't know where they look to expand. They will not stay at ten schools while everyone else is going to 14 or 16.
Not just you. That was my first thought, too.
You would have to think this forces the Big 12 to finally play their hand.
I don't get them either. In this inviroment 10 is not a good number. They're placing a lot of faith in the GOR to keep them together. I may be wrong about the nature of the agreement but I believe Texas and Okie could leave whenever they want. If I were one of the other schools I would be nervous. They may be running out of options.

I think the model for them didn't change they aren't going to 16 without ND. The big key to watch is the suit filed in North Carolina by the ACC against Maryland yesterday. If the ACC can enforce all 50 million of their exit fee then the ACC may stabilize. If they can't enforce it then the ACC is in trouble.
The ACC would be in trouble how?
In trouble as in I could see the B1G going to 16 and the SEC going to 16 by adding ACC schools.
