The southwest conference is just the state of Texas + Arkansas and OU lol. 

To be fair, thats pretty much what it was before the SWC and Big 8 merged into the Big XII, minus Oklahoma.

I thought that was kinda the joke.  He put most of the conferences back where they were when CFB was good.

Conference expansion: What ACC programs could be Big Ten targets?

RUTGERSWIRE.USATODAY.COM

---

Ranking the top five targets for the Big Ten to consider in college expansion.

No. 1 Miami has everything the Big Ten wants in conference expansion

Analysis: Market size? Top 20 in the nation. AAU membership? Got that done last year. Football? Tough to find a more successful program in the past three decades. National following? Huge. Big-time brand. And men’s basketball had a monster year last season. Miami can’t compete nationally without better funding, and it can’t get that funding with the current ACC deal. Make no mistake about it: If the Big Ten came calling, Miami would be on the phone with their lawyers moments later. Given what they bring in football and basketball, Miami makes sense. Getting into Florida would be huge for the Big Ten and a big-time coup in the race for television markets.

Goes on to say:  Florida State, Notre Dame, UVA, UNC all will find themselves within the P2 as a very strong possibility as all four are wanted. Clemson and Miami are also schools with possible moves to the P2, with Virginia Tech less, GA Tech, and Pitt less so.

Says this:

 

After averaging the four replies (they were all in the same range) each #Big12 team goes to $58M and the #ACC drops to $22M per team...if they're even able to get a contract at that point.

let's say Memphis, USF, Tulane, SDSU, OSU, WSU join the ACC, there's not much they could do much to get that figure back up, but it'd be interesting to see how much they'd squeeze out of a deal
