You've posted this diddy twice now. Enough. Texas did NOT attempt to run to the Pac12. UT officials flew to OU and tried to make them commit to the Big 12 but Boren explored with Pac12, not UT. Pac12 turned them down without UT. Fact.

But I do agree with Rex. ESPN ruined college football with the $300 million to one university that needed more cash like Apple. I have never understood the principal of being in a conference where all members aren't equal.

I welcome the aggs. We need a punching bag. We're wearing out MSU. That said, I wished we were still at 12 members and played aggs every year as non-conference opener.

Mizzouri...yuck.

Were talking about summer 2010....they DID attempt to go to the Pac.

They stayed in the Big 12 this time around solely because they can do whatever they want with the LHN. They did not stay because they care about student athletes and rivalries. Give me a break.

Really? OU may have started it but by the end Texas was in negotiations also. Try typing in OU,OSU,TT and Texas to the Pac 12.

Here's a quote from the first source ESPN college sports: Updated: September 19, 2011, 2:12 PM ET
The ACC might not be the only big-name conference adding schools in the near future.

Pac-12 officials are engaged in "active discussions" with Texas and Oklahoma about how to make the Big 12 schools' addition to the conference work, a source within the Big 12 confirmed to ESPN.com's Joe Schad.

Another source confirmed to Schad on Sunday night that Texas president Bill Powers met with Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott in Los Angeles this weekend.

Texas officials traveled to California to watch the Longhorns game against UCLA.
