Levin Sun, 18 Sep 2011 01:17:10 +0000 http://collegesportsinfo.com/?p=2856#comment-4704 I will not believe option A until Texas and Notre Dame are signing ACC membership papers. Villanova only gets invitation if Texas or Notre Dame agrees as ‘Nova does not want to upgrade its football program.

I do not believe Texas and Texas Tech (not Texas A&M as included in the post) will join as I believe Texas is still working for a Big 11 invitation.

West Virginia and Louisville will not get invitations no matter what. Rutgers would get invitation if UConn does. Of course, it means the Big 11 would be giving up on Rutgers and possibly Maryland as expansion partners.

To get a Big 11 invitation, Texas needs a partner, obviously. Is Missouri attractive at that point? Rutgers? Maryland?
