One side note is that television revenue in the Big 12 is indeed unequal. In the ACC all third tier mbb and fb games are included in the ESPN deal, in the Big 12 (and SEC iirc) the rights to those games, along with wbb and Olympic sports, are held by the schools. For schools like Florida and Texas these can be worth quite a lot (the Longhorn Network and all). For schools like Wake Forest and BC they aren’t worth jack shit.

The ACC being North-Carolina and basketball centric is a particularly bullshit reason to leave for the Big 12 though. DeLoss Dodds at Texas is the defacto Big 12 commissioner, and the conference didn’t add FSU, BC, or Miami for basketball.
