Another conference alignment thread

With the recent talk about the ESPN deal with the ACC, I started wondering about where Texas may land in the shuffle that is bound to happen in the next several years. There has been talk about Texas and OU going to the PAC or B1G together, but a better option might be to look at a merger of the BIGXII and ACC. There would be natural divisions (West and East), decent parity for football and the other sports would be well balanced. My thought was below:

Big XVI
West East
Baylor / Kansas St Clemson
Kansas Duke
ND FSU
Oklahoma Louisville
Oklahoma State Miami
TCU North Carolina
Texas Virginia Tech
Texas Tech West Virginia

This leaves Baylor or KSU and Iowa St out from the BIGXII and BC, GT, Pitt, Syracuse, Virginia and Wake out from the ACC. It also assumes ND is in for all sports.

Sorry if this has been discussed already, if it has I missed it.
