    A very wealthy alum, that I work for says that there is still a chance that Texas will go to the SEC, and pull am and OK with it. He doubts it though

    Ideally, the conference would be allowed to schedule 13 games per season.

    Each team plays their own division each year, and 4 teams from the other division. Then do a home and home with each non divisional school. That way you would play each team every 2 years, and get each team at home every 4. Then have 2 weeks of little sisters of the poor, or every other conference to prep your self with before conference play

    Brown has been right about everything so far. He is literally the one that broke this whole thing like 4 weeks ago. That's when I first heard about it from someone here that knows him

    I know I'm late to the game here, but who is Chip Brown and how's he connected to all of this? I agree that he's been "on" for almost all of this.

    That KC TV report is getting airtime up here in SEA, also. UT/TA&M petitioning the Big 10, not waiting for an invite, and Oklahoma (no mention of OSU) asking the SEC to come in? Doesn't make a ton of sense to me.

    Many people have refuted the KC report

    Keep in mind, that this move really hurts the Kansas schools and possibly Mssouri. It doesn't surprise me that someone from that region would be spreading this around.

    Then again, as I have said, it wouldn't surprise me to see Texas and a&m go somewhere else. I can't see a situation that would have Oklahoma and Texas splitting up though.

    I thought there was some limit on NCAA football teams only being able to play some total number of games or something like that, like 14 or something.

    If you had 13 conference game, championship game, bowl game, non-conference games, I mean heck that could be 18 games which is more than an NFL season.

    It brings up kind of a good point, though...
    I think it's fair to say that the Big XII is done as a conference. The teams left are trying to get the best deal, and UT and UO can go basically anywhere they want to.
    The Pac-10 is fine with expanding to either 12 or 16 teams. Obviously 16 (with CU, UT and UO being among them) is the big win. But they're fine with just CU and (probably) Utah. A source at the Pac-10 mtgs said today on the radio that Utah would accept a bid within 5 minutes of the Pac-10 calling them up. But if you're the Pac-10, and you see UT and UO leave for somewhere else, isn't Kansas a better fit alongside CU than Utah would be? Utah's been better at football, but KU's hasn't been horrible, AND you get the basketball stuff and the ability to play games at the big new stadium in Kansas City (which I understad is in MO). What are the pros/cons for inviting KU with CU rather than Utah with CU?

    I think Kansas would HAVE to come as a package deal with KSU

    Really? If you say to them, "Kansas can join the Pac-12", they're going to say "We're sticking with our buddies. Bring on the Mountain West!"?

    I would guess some of these reports are being sent out during negotiations; UT is probably trying to get a larger share of TV revenue from the Pac10 like they had with the Big12 while the Pac10 schools want to keep the even split. So UT could be showing they have other options and leverage in negotiations and don't need the pac10.

    I wouldn't read a lot into that. There is no way the PAC 10 is dumb enough to pick the worst academic and athletic school in a conference that is desolving, without being pretty sure it will get others.

    The Denver tv market sucks for college football as well. If anything, they will snag one more, but I expect it to be at least 4 total.

    Well, the big 12 isn't staying together. Colorado's gone, and Nebraska's not far behind. So Dodds better come up with another plan. I think getting an extra 10M a year from the Pac-16 would override Mack Brown, but I don't know if the guy's Bear Bryant Incarnate down there or not. If A&M thinks life in the SEC is better, they're welcome to it.
