Less money vs Oklahoma and Texas? Absolutely.Mosster47 said:
WVU has no business in the Big XII, but they are there. Are we arguing that Colorado and Utah are better additions than OU and UT?DawgWagonDan said:
Maybe, but neither does ASU and UA...Pitchfork51 said:

He should have been fired the second he couldn't get OU and Texas. People with a vision rarely have success when they are asked for an alternate path.Pitchfork51 said:The directv thing is the main reason I think he sucks.
Night games and crappy slots I don't have a problem with because frankly he recognized the patheticness of PAC fanbases and knew that we would get smoked trying to compete with the big 10 or sec for viewership.
I dont even care that no one east of colorado can see pac games because no one east of colorado gives a fuck about the pac.
It's just retarded that bars IN pac 12 country cant show pac games.
Instead we are shackled to two shitty teams that meant the PNW gets USC once every World Cup, every game that doesn't start at midnight is on a network no one gets, and there is clearly no plan to make any real progress.
The Pac-12 today is closer to the Mountain West than it is to the SEC. He's doing a great job though.
Do you hate money?
ASU and au would be the ones stuck in the shit eastern division -

He had them the second time (OU/Okie State asked to join, which would have brought Texas in by default) and Larry, along with the Univ. Presidents said thanks but no thanks.
When the 4 superconferences model finally takes hold, if the Big XII wins out and grabs the LA Schools, You will see the Pac-12 take the "best" MWC to try and stay relevant. Won't work but they will try. -
Without USC and UCLA, the PAC 12 is the Mtn West.

Yeah, we can quibble about which ACC Florida school to remove and who leaves the SEC with Bama, but every one of those conferences takes a hit without two top schools and only the SEC looks formidable without it's top programs.
The Pacs real problem isn't how bad it looks without the LA schools, it's how bad it looks without USC. We can argue whether UCLA is the second most important Pac program but it's at least in the discussion, and is far less significant than the number two in any of these other conferences. -

Texas to the Pac-12 was DOA from jump. It was nothing more than FREE PUB for Texas while they yanked Larry around for a week or two. Larry did his due diligence by talking with them but the negotiations began and ended seconds later with equal revenue sharing. There is a reason nobody wants to be in a conference with Texas.Mosster47 said:

Texas was pretty into the PAC 16 idea. The Aggies hated it, leaked it to Baylor and TTech and let the deal collapse. At the same time they decided they didn't want to be in the same league as Texas anymore and went SECSECSEC.
Texas was willing to scrap the Longhorn Network for a Southwest Division containing UT, AnM, OU, CU, UofA, ASU, Okie Lite, and either TTech or Baylor.
PAC presidents said "fuck no" to Baylor, which led Ken Starr to start his jihad in the Lege.
It's all in the Shaggy Bevo realignment thred.
