As I reported a week ago, Texas looks like it is headed to the PAC 12.



Tech and the OK schools will come with them.


Hopefully the powers that be go East/West and not North/South divisions


If it's East/West it's the original PAC 8 and the Arizona schools and league formerly known as BIg 12.

If it's North/South

It's Oregon, OSU, Col, Utah, Cal, Stan, Wash, WSU


And Texas, OK, USC, OKST, UCLA, ARI, ASU, TECH

are you hearing other Schools too? or just Texas as of now?
 
Absolutely insane... Texas, OK, Oregon, USC, Stanford... I don't think the SEC will be able to claim "best conference" much longer.

The Pac 14? 16? would have to win some national championships first.
 
4 divisions

"The Pac-16 would most likely be divided into four-team pods with Texas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Texas Tech in one pod; Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado and Utah in another pod; Oregon, Oregon State, Washington and Washington State in another pod; and USC, UCLA, Cal and Stanford in the other pod, the sources said."

Fuck Texas, and Fuck Mack Brown. The only reason the Ducks are in NCAA trouble is because Mack Brown's program is regressing while other programs are playing for titles with Texas HS players as the stars.

I'd take Baylor over Texas for purely personal reasons.

Yeah but Texas brings much more prestige and credibility. It would be like adding an Alabama or an LSU. Despite what you may feel for Texas, but I would rather we add schools that will help bring the PAC to the forefront of college football.
 
I don't like the idea of a super conference. I also think losing our games with USC could hurt our recruiting.

4 pods is something my Texas boss/friend was talking about. If the PAC does it correctly, they will simply schedule like this.

Oregon

VS

ORSU
WASH
WSU

Then
@stan
USC
@COL
ASU
@TECH
OKST

Next season

ORST
WASH
WSU

Then

CAL
@UCLA
UTA
@ARI
TEX
@OKL

Next year

ORST
WASH
WSU

Then flip flop home and away

You should be able to play in each region twice in a kids 4 year career, and @ in a pod ever year. So the years you play USC and UCLA at home, you would play Stanford and CAL on the road

I will use SO CAL as an example, with each line representing a year

@USC
UCLA
USC
@UCLA
@USC
UCLA
USC
@UCLA
@USC
UCLA


I still think two divisions of 8 is better, with the original PAC 8 in one, but oh well

Things are getting sticky once again. Texas is not my favorite school.....AT ALL!!!!

Possibly reaching out to the ACC because Larry isn't giving in to all of their demands for their Longhorn Network. My friend thinks it's just a bargaining ploy though.

Stay tuned for this circus. Tomorrow will be a big day....Possibly Tuesday
 
Go buy Pac12 gear. Everyone will laugh at you in 10 years, then you can edimicate them that it really happened, once.
 
Update:

The deal over the LHN seems to be that UT gets to keep the $15m/year if that number is less than 1/16 of the revenues from the PAC Network. That means Larry Scott feels the PAC Network will generate more than $15m per team or $240 million per year selling tier three rights. The added teams make available alot more quality games at tier three. Plus, there are 100 million viewers to broadcast to. ESPN and FOX only get one game each so the left overs will be pretty valuable. The LHN contract set the market. Scott should get the money. He also plans to go international with the broadcast. This means each of the PAC schools can expect $35 million/year or more.

I screwed that joke up huh? Damn it! On the topic at hand, I do not like the concept of a SUPERconference! I have kinda' enjoyed my Ducks dominance lately. I liked the intimacy of playing the same 9 other schools every season. Kept rivalries alive.

I couldn't agree with you more. However, since super conferences seem to be inevitable, it's best to get the best schools you can.


Go with the Bob Knight school of thought

"I think that if rape is inevitable, relax and enjoy it."
 
^ No thanks...... we don't do the Oregon State forum!
 
Update again:

A source close to Texas and another one of the four schools says if Texas was to go to the Pac-12 it would be allowed to keep a "modified" version of the network called the PAC 16 Texas Network

Texas would be allowed to keep most, if not all, of its third-tier revenue under a formula being devised as long as the other schools in the Pac-16 meet a certain threshold of revenue, Indications are that the Pac-12 is now UT's top option.
 
I agree with HTC, er, HCP too. The Pac10 was great. Every game felt like a rivalry.

I know there are positives, money, more exposure for recruiting...but, I enjoy my Pac in 10's and even 12's.

Texas...sheesh...only steers and queers come from Texas.
 
as opposed to Oregon.. "The land of Fruits and Nuts" :lol:
 
Apparently there will be a NW pod, a CU/UU/Cal/Stanford pod, an AZ/ASU/UCLA/USC pod, and a UT/TT/OU/OSU pod.

The NW schools get bent over and fucked in that arrangement. The NW schools should veto it because it guarantees all of the current Pac-12 schools one game a year in CA. Why in the hell should CU and UU get a trip to the Bay Area each year?
 
seems like a lot of bending over backwards is being done (last year too) to make CU and Utah happy. Why again do they get more privileges than Schools who have been a part of this conference for years?
 
The reason why I love this addition is because it guarantees that teams like OU and Texas will HAVE to play at Autzen at some point. I'm tired of playing on neutral ground. Bring these big boys to Autzen so we can teach em a thing or two.

While I agree that it's not ideal, conferences are all going the super conference route. At some point all conferences will have this problem. Oregon will get to play in California every year, and in So Cal 2 out of 4 years. We also get to play in Texas 2 out of 4 years now as well.

Not true. You only play 2 schools out of the other 3 pods. There are years where a trip to CA may not happen.
