Two points I think are involved here.
1) If you mean Gonzaga to the B12 for only basketball, that can't happen. Schools can join conferences for football only, but basketball is lumped in with every other sport. Gonzaga would have an absolutely insane travel budget. They'd have to pay for all that travel while getting a partial revenue share.
2) SMU bought their way into the ACC. They essentially paid hundreds of millions of dollars to get into the ACC. Why on God's green earth would the ACC want to raid more AAC schools. Those additional schools would only dilute the revenue shares, and realignment isn't happening for the purpose of reducing revenue shares.The future's so bright - I gotta wear shades.
We like to cut down nets and get sized for championship rings.

ACC is likely only adding these AAC schools if they lose quite a few members. You are correct that adding schools like Memphis, USF, Tulane, etc. would likely dilute revenue sharing under the current model.

Also, a partial share for Gonzaga in the XII would most likely more than make up for their travel budget and be significantly more than what they get now in the WCC.Infinity Art Glass - Fantastic local artist and Shocker fan
