The big story around Texas and Oklahoma moving to the SEC has started to now shift towards the other schools in the Big 12. There are reports of the Pac 12 and Big 10 wanting to go after some of the remaining Big 12 teams and it can be assumed that the ACC, who has 15 members, would also pick up West Virginia if other teams start to fall.
