Once upon a time, there was hope and optimism for the AAC in conference realignment. The Big 12 had been blindsided by the SEC taking Texas and Oklahoma, which left every other school to consider its own future. Rumors swirled that, to keep up with the SEC, the Big 10 and PAC-12 would try to act like vultures and take what they wanted next. Hypothetically, that would leave the Big 12 so weak that it wouldn’t have the influence to poach teams from the Group of Five, and the AAC could snag teams like TCU and West Virginia.
Could the Big 12 Expand With Teams From the AAC Again?
