So let's all agree that the Big 12 is soon to be history. We know that A & M is gone and there is a very strong probability that Oklahoma and OSU will announce they are leaving to join the PAC ?. There is also a good probability the UT and Tuberville's TTU will join Oklahoma and OSU. There is no way that the remaining five teams could salvage the conference and even if they added UTEP, UH, Texas State, Rice and SMU, the conference would no longer be able to keep the BCS Automatic Qualifier Status. Are we so naive to believe that the BCS AQ currently held by the Big 12 would not go out West to Larry Scott's new Pacific West Conference? The new 16 member conference would have not one, but two BCS AQs and would be able to send as many as four teams to BCS bowls each year. This would be a huge advantage to that conference. An advantage that would be damaging to the dominance of the SEC.

Baylor should "stand down" in it's efforts to preserve a doomed conference and "Rise Up" and look to persuade Kansas and Kansas State to join with them into the Mountain West Conference and take the BCS AQ with them before Deloss Dodd & his minions steals it away.

Interesting thought. While I hate the arrogant cocksuckers in Austin, methinks the AQ goes with them or OU no matter what. Those three schools probably don't have the clout to haul the AQ with them and away from a big 12 with OU and t.u.

I realize that TU and OU would certainly seem a lock to deliver the BCS AQ out West. But.....for the third year in a row we have been hearing chants of BCS Buster BCS Buster BCS Buster in regards to Boise State Middle School. There is a huge probability that they will run the table this year (after all they defeated a SEC team...ha ha )and the talking heads of the four letter sports network just might push for the BCS AQ to go to the MWC

Unless there is an "out" clause in the BCS contract, it is what it is. Only real problem with the demise of the Big12(10-1) is that the current deal limits the number of BCS participants from one conference to 2.

Oh, I'm not saying it couldn't happen. It's gotta go somewhere and why not to the MWC if the FudgePac already has one. I am saying that OU and t.u. would have to bail first for that to work, cuz it would stay with the big 12 as long as they stayed.

The SEC, Big Ten, ACC, and Big East would never agree with the PAC16 receiving four BCS bids, so I do not think this is a realistic possibility.

I don't feel like getting into it, but this ain't happening. Might get up to a third bid when the contract comes up, but that's it. FWIW, in terms of PAYOUT, the SEC and B1G pretty much have the equivalent of 3 with the Capital Oone Bowl. The 2nd BCS team from a conf gets about 4.5M and the Capital One pays 4+.
