Looks like the BIG12 can be salvaged.

Here is the release from PAC. Note the use of term "equality". Shot at Texas?

The stories written by the same guy the OP linked say that Scott wanted to expand but did not have support of enough of the Presidents.

Interesting.

Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott said, “after careful review we have determined that it is in the best interests of our member institutions, student-athletes and fans to remain a 12-team conference. While we have great respect for all of the institutions that have contacted us, and certain expansion proposals were financially attractive, we have a strong conference structure and culture of equality that we are committed to preserve. With new landmark TV agreements and plans to launch our innovative television networks, we are going to focus solely on these great assets, our strong heritage and the bright future in front of us.”

So after all this, the SEC is pretty much forced to be the first conference to move above 12? frick that.

I know the ACC will, but not until 2014.

Well, the SEC doesn't have to do anything but add aTm for now and then wait. I'm sure we can figure out something for the schedule next year.

Would be slightly humorous if the SEC was like thanks but no thanks to A&M. I think texags would implode.

I don't think it is similar. I think the message this time is "We won't take OU unless UT comes with them and drops the unequal revenue sharing."

This was a funny comment.


If this is truly final (for now), it sounds like Texas came to the table demanding to keep their little network and Scott told them to go back to Mexico. If that’s the case, good for him. The Pac already has one prima donna, didn’t need another.

OU's problem is that albatross OSU around their neck. The PAC might have taken them and TT with TX, but it isn't clear that would have been good enough. I believe it would have been a slam dunk without those two.

Short term, this is a good move for the Pac 12. They might regret it one day though due to their location on the West coast. If the Big 10, SEC, and ACC all go to 16 and UT and OU are already taken, The Pac 12 will have no one left to grab. The Rocky Mountain states simply don't have that many major athletic programs. They will essentially be boxed in by the Pacific Ocean and the SEC/Big 10 to the East.

you mean:

Our admin didn't want to go to the PAC. We would have given up the LHN if we wanted to go to the PAC and that mattered to them. We are where we want to be.

that's because we have enough self respect to not need a daddy conference we can chant about.

Regardless of the problems with the Longhorn network; it's been reported that OU didn't have the votes. At least 4 schools blocked adding OU and Oklahoma State.

So Okie has to suck it up and keep letting Texas run their shite?


Can we just give A&M back and pretend none of this dumb shite even happened?

Texas keeps the LHN, keeps the Big 12 together and gets rid of A&M.

There has to be a way to blow this up in Texas' face.
