Mixed emotions with either wanting them or not wanting them.
We know if they join, it's only temporary. They are all in with B1G and probably have the best chances from within the Big 12 or Pac 10. The question for the B1G is would they want to act now or wait. If the Big 12 doesn't show interest, then the ACC could potentially make a pitch. Not really ideal for either side but the benefits would overcome as it gives current ACC members believing they have stability, better football product and perhaps convince schools like FSU and Clemson from leaving. On the flip side, if the Big 12 stays proactive and just go ahead with adding both which will eliminate any ACC stability. This will eliminate any chance of the ACC surviving.
The Big 12 could add schools similar with Arizona and perhaps Arizona State. Their odds of moving to B1G is low. Would let the Big 12 create stability for a longer term. Then when the ACC falls apart in 2036, we can pick any remainder schools if we truly like.
Given that the pro-rata will allow new members to get 31.7 million per current power 5 allows us the choice of picking any school. Basically, any Pac 10 member is an option right now. We just need to figure out the best strategy.
