It benefits the SEC to be tied to the 2nd-strongest league for guaranteed good games and paydays, same for the Big 12, who from their end must love the shot at the ACC probably forcing them to abandon their league, and everyone will probably be showered with crazy old uncle Jerry's Cowboy money. If the Big 12 is accused of interference with the ACC, then FSU, Clemson, or whoever will simply point at this deal as the turning point that made them reach out, whether true or not.

This was a masterstroke.
Are they really that brilliant, or was Beebe just that damned incompetent? That's not to say what Neinas has done in a very short period to turn what looked to be imminent disaster into a strong base, I won't take that away from him.

Of the four original schools that bailed on the Big XII, how big of a role did Beebe and his (in)actions play?
