OU and UT have to stay the 18 months, so they will be here through next year. The ESPN contract continue for 2 more years, adding new teams will just eat into the nest egg each current school will be trying to set up.
After we get the buyout from UT and OU and they are no longer part of the league then the current teams understand that if anyone gets a P5 offer, they will be gone ASAP, its that simple. Planning for the future is one thing, but you also have to plan for today.
Does anyone really think that if KU and ISU got an offer from the Big 10, we are sticking around to help TCU and Baylor, that is crazy. Every school has to be thinking the same thing, the one thing they should be pushing to all remaining 8 teams, is just keep everyone in the loop. None of this going behind the conferences back like OU and UT did, and cut a deal on your own. It doesn't have to be public, but every school will tell the others if they have an offer.
I also read the other day that 5 schools pledged to the conference their willingness to sign away their GOR's, the three that didn't were ISU, KU, and WV. It might be nothing or just hope, but that is also the three schools mentioned most often of landing on their feet again in another P5 conference.
It would crazy to add new teams, until towards the end of the contract, in a year or two, maybe sooner, we will know what Fox is going to do with the Big 10 and Pac 12, until we know that, then we cool are jets and wait, knowing that we still are going to get paid the full amount from the ESPN TV contract.
