The AACN was inevitable. I believe they were the only P5 Conference without at least a member having a national TV network. The Big 12 members should be PO'd that the Texas Longhorns Network have stole their TV thunder. Not sure how one sits back and take that....

Yup. Longhorn Network was a big reason Nebraska and Aggie left the Big 12
 
The 2019 ACC Kickoff media event began Wednesday morning with a presentation on the ACC Network that included the announcement of the broadcast teams for the channel’s football broadcasts this fall. There are three of ‘em:

Dave O’Brien (pxp) / Tim Hasselbeck (analysis) / Katie George (sideline)
Chris Cotter / Mark Herzlich / Kelsey Riggs
Wes Durham / Roddy Jones / Eric Wood

Also announced was an in-studio show called The Huddle, which will air on Friday nights and Saturday mornings to preview the week ahead on ACC football. That will be hosted by Jac Collinsworth

The others outside of OU have no leverage and understand their roles in Texas. They know if they don’t follow suit their relegated to the level of University of Houston

I guess you're right. If you take OU out of that conference, it would be a pure garbage darn near a G5 FBS football conference.
 
@Tigerpride Vegas set odds for Clemson as a 34 point favorite over Georgia Tech. This looks like a massacre in the making (hide the women, children and put 911 on speed dial)....LOL
