    Oklahoma and Texas are obviously the big prizes ... I don't think that there's any chance Oklahoma and Oklahoma don't show up somewhere together.

    que?

    ESPN is going to launch the ACC Network. So that's 3 out of 4. It's between the Big12 and the Pac.

    We? lose

    Come up with a realistic conference realignment that cuts out the PAC.

    Sorry to interrupt the self-hate session but it's not happening.

    Turning down UT and the OKie schools and settling for just Utah and Colorado was the beginning of the end.

    Can't wait to join the WAC with the other NW Championship schools.

    Houston's willing to meet with anybody to try to get their seat at any table ... they aren't negotiating from a position of strength.

    Oklahoma and Texas have no reason to leave UNTIL they start making less money than the other big conferences (the Big 12 model isn't set up to be equal parts per school). That will eventually happen.

    The PAC is always going to be an intriguing option for both Oklahoma and Texas because of the academics. The idea that the PAC had them both begging to come West isn't really accurate ... the money wasn't there for them.

    So the Cali schools are going to abandon Washington and Oregon to go play West Virginia? Ohok.gif.

    We already saw during the last realignment that the Big12 was in the weakest position by far due to having the smallest footprint by population, their location getting squeezed in between three other conferences, and the unequal sharing of power between Texas and the rest. Those issues have only worsened with the defections and the incursion of the SEC into Texas.


    There is no PAC school that makes sense as an expansion target for other schools culturally, geographically, or economically. Which is why there has never even been a rumor floated of such happening.

    Washington and Oregon (and their little brothers) aren't going to be left out in favor of WVU and Iowa State.

    People forget that ESPN runs college sports.

    Why do they need the Pacific Northwest?
