Had it been the BiG , PAC, or ACC or any combo of the 3. That would be more dicey for the remaining 8. Even if they were busted on it. It would be harder for the 8 to hold together with all 8 or some of the 8 risking a spot in the new big leagues emerging. Like any of the remaining 8 couldnt work out a deal with AAC today on their own??
This was a stupid strategy. If you are going to tortiously interfere with a contract to destroy a conference and do it in a way to completely get away with it and accomplish your goals, you needed to have had a much better strategy that would result in offers that couldnt be refused by at least half the remaining 8. Thinking they could buy the voting of the XII out of existence and hence the by laws and GOR out of existence with AAC member ship was just stupid. Very amatuerish follow up to a very well planned initial arranging of Texas and OU over the SEC.
