I don't think it has to do anything with ESPN wanting OU/aTm/UT in the SEC.
ESPN is heavily invested in the LHN. However LHN and UT are causing the rift that is going to cause the Big XII to fall apart. Frankly it should have fallen apart last summer, Beebe threw a hail mary and it got caught.
The LHN is going to force UT to become Independent. The PAC 12 won't take UT and the SEC won't take UT as long as they have their own network.
Forge an alliance with ND? You on crack boy. The Big 10 held that spot open for years hoping ND would bite and it never happened. There is no financial benefit for ND to become a member of the Big XII in order to save it. The NBC contract isn't conference friendly either.
