The Pac12 commish has stated pretty firmly that they're not allowing in any team with it's own TV deal. Surprisingly, I believe him. - musubi Sep 20, 10:46
I'm rooting for the Pac 12 to hold firm and crack em. - Will Hunting Sep 20, 10:44 8
- I think that's the right move for the Pac 12 but I suspect that Texas has more power than them and will ultimately win. -- nm - David, Archer fan Sep 20, 10:53 2
  - I think Oklahoma is the quiet king-maker here. If OU moves to the Pac (as it's widely speculated), Texas loses almost all its leverage. - musubi Sep 20, 10:57 1
    - And it seems Baylor is the one think holding any dominoes from falling at this point. -- nm - ty97 Sep 20, 11:02
- Texas could always go indie like ND and BYU -- nm - eag Sep 20, 10:49 1
  - Notre Dame's actually making overtures toward the Big 12 (the real 1..2...12) and the ACC. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 20, 10:51
- I believe they'll relent eventually. Nebraska and Colorado bolting the Big12 undercut them big time. - musubi Sep 20, 10:49 1
  - That's my gut feeling...Texas will eventually bow to the realities that going it alone probably isn't best. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 20, 10:50
- I'm shocked at just how much clout the PAC-12 is carrying right now. -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Sep 20, 10:45
