For the teams that have no realistic chance to get into the big 2, they need to do what is necessary to remove that uncertainty. Don't have your future in the hands of Oregon or FSU. Join the BIG12 now and form the only third option. This way you don't care so much if teams are poached.

If Oregon stays for now and the remaining 9 put their future on them staying, they have learned nothing. An alliance with the ACC provides no certainty. Do you want to spend your future days worrying about what Notre Dame, Oregon, or FSU are going to do? Why? Lets be done with this already! Make the BIG12 the second option and lets enjoy some football.
