Certainly not in that order.

Explain, please.

Because the rest of the gang would have to change bylaws and take it away.  That is unlikely to happen because a bad precedent would be set.  The PAC 12 is not far in front of, or maybe not at all, the Big 12.  Think about it like the complications involved with kicking a single team out of a conference.  P5 is a thing created by, well, the P5.

Thanks.

Seems The Alliance is prepared to exit sans the conference that Texas and Oklahoma left.

Texas and Oklahoma left because the SEC offered more money. UCF, Cincy, and Houston are in the Big 12 because it's more money. Whatever teams the AAC selects for expansion will leave because it's more money. All this stuff is based on their programs making more money. It has nothing to do with teams being "elite" and it never did.

Let's be real honest here: The Big 10 and the SEC are the two best conferences in college football, then the Big 12, ACC and Pac 12 follow behind, then the AAC and rest of the G5 conferences. Big 12 isn't going to lose it's status as a Power 5, because if they did, it's going to be such a slippery slope for inclusion it just wouldn't be worth it.

It can’t be about the money AND a slippery slope. Money loves slippery slopes.

They are basically USC and Oregon instead of Texas and OU.

at this point, im wondering why we havent seen mass firings.....do they not get the group failure on their hands or do they just not care?

Fire who though?  If USF, two presidents and ADs are gone.

Who knows what the future holds.  Maybe a whole new structure is created, but I tend to think that the "alliance" has no desire to consolidate the autonomy votes for the SEC to simply have more control.  A weaker Big12 is still anti-SEC votes.

Curious as to whether or not FAU is one of the few teams brought into the AAC. 

Man this has the potential to be deflating.

At that point they would be superior to us like UCF.

The said ocs to soften the blow and distract folks. There is no one to hold accountable for this and we will stay to course for at least another season or two
