Take one thing I said and dissect it. The overall point is that it's all about money. If a school doesn't add a huge chunk of additional revenue, the move isn't happening.

Exactly. Maryland delivered the DMV and Rutgers gives them a chunk of greater NYC.
The entire design behind Oklahoma and Texas joining the SEC, and why those ADs/presidents in the SEC all agreed, is because of the backroom deal that Greg Sankey attempted to work out to expand the playoff. Adding Texas and OU, in an expanded playoff, benefited the SEC members because they figure that in a 12 team playoff, they can realistically get 5 bids. The conferences are paid out by the bids per league based on the TV money. That's massive cash coming into a conference and split amongst its members.
When you consider the bowl schedules, the conference tie-ins don't necessarily change based on who is in which league. So you're just swapping out one team for another typically. If Miami didn't go to the Camping World Bowl, UCF would. Miami would finish 7-5 or 6-6 and go to a low tier bowl instead of Virginia, who would then sit at home. The league wouldn't get any more bowl teams and they wouldn't get any additional revenue, unless of course they had more than one playoff team.

As expected, it's now official Ed Orgeron is out at LSU. He will finish the season.
Said to be at the top of the wish list in Baton Rouge is Clemson's Dabo Sweeney and Texas A&M's Jimbo Fisher. Both may be pipe dreams -- Fisher has a gigantic buyout and Sweeney has built his own empire (although his roots are in the SEC).
So, that's arguably two of the Top 10 jobs in college football available at the same time (LSU and USC).
