Texas A&M's success in the SEC prolly accelerated this -- nm - budice Jun 30, 17:15
How does this affect basketball? -- nm - Krusty Jun 30, 16:33 11
- all KU home games have been moved to Boulder! - prayformojo Jun 30, 16:36 8
  - Kansas has little value in football but their basketball is a blue chip program. This sucks. Fuck college football. -- nm - Krusty Jun 30, 16:41
  - Fuck Boulder! -- nm - Krusty si Jun 30, 16:38 6
    - Yeah! -- nm - Krusty Jun 30, 16:41 5
      - :) - ty97 Jun 30, 16:42 4
        
        Very much so. Mel and Diva should move here. :-) -- nm - Krusty Jun 30, 16:45 3
        
        Cosigned and stamped. - ty97 Jun 30, 16:47 2
        
        there are plenty of places that cater to the right side of this argument in NYC at this point. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 30, 17:07
        
        Ha! Nice! -- nm - Krusty Jun 30, 16:47
- If im the Big Ten im all over getting Kansas for Basketball -- nm - eag Jun 30, 16:35 1
  - This takes away rivalries. It won't be the same. It hasn't been since those traitors in Missouri left. -- nm - Krusty Jun 30, 16:52
I'll believe it when I see it but "whoa if true" -- nm - ty97 Jun 30, 16:00
And they can get away from TCU and Baylor being relevant. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 30, 15:59
This should have happened a couple of years ago when the Big 12 collapsed. - Mop Jun 30, 15:58 6
- I was surprised Texas found enough teams to hold the B12 together, even though it was left on life support. -- nm - GregW Jun 30, 15:59 5
  - It was because they were going to share some of there network money if im not mistaken -- nm - eag Jun 30, 16:02 4
    - Is it any wonder that the Pac-12 wants Texas? If the Big 12 Network folds up, Texas ratings go to the Pac-12 Network coffers. -- nm - Mop Jun 30, 16:07
    - Yeah, they basically bribed a few schools to stick around. -- nm - GregW Jun 30, 16:03 2
      - And it was also the big sticking point why Texas didn't join the PAC 10 a few years ago - eag Jun 30, 16:10
      - The schools that don't get tv money are into the red on football. -- nm - tobor.2 Jun 30, 16:04
I was hoping for the opposite, but this might not be too bad in the long run. - ReluctantCynic Jun 30, 15:56 16
- I'm sure Nebraska will do fine in the Big East. -- nm - David Jun 30, 16:41
- The idea of a Pac-20 melts my brain. Could be keep it to maybe just 16? -- nm - Mop Jun 30, 15:59 14
  - Bringing in Texas would make it the PAC-13 plus four affiliates. - ReluctantCynic Jun 30, 16:19 7
    - Id go TCU and BYU and SanDiego St or Boise St to bring it to 16 -- nm - eag Jun 30, 16:28 1
      - I was focusing on the list of current, affiliate, and former members, but TCU would be a logical addition. - ReluctantCynic Jun 30, 16:34
    - Fresno? -- nm - Bacon Jun 30, 16:25 4
      - Fresno would be high on the list. I went back, checked the Wikipedia, and apparently they are a former member of the PAC-12. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jun 30, 16:31 3
        
        Did you guys see old Oregon Stadium got burned down the other day -- nm - eag Jun 30, 16:34 2
        
        Yeah .. that was really sad. I used to live across the field from that stadium. - ReluctantCynic Jun 30, 16:37
        
        Meh. Civic Stadium in Eugene. An old baseball grand stand gets left abandoned and unattended for years. No one should be shocked it burned. -- nm - Mop Jun 30, 16:36
  - Wasn't it the PAC 8 at some point? -- nm - tobor.2 Jun 30, 15:59 5
    - Self-shilling trivia: I played ice hockey in the Pac-8 - ReluctantCynic Jun 30, 16:16
    - I swear I remember the PAC 2. -- nm - ty97 Jun 30, 16:01 1
      - There was a time when many of the teams in the pac 8 or 10 were on probation of one type or other. - tobor.2 Jun 30, 16:03
    - Yup. -- nm - Mop Jun 30, 16:00 1
      - Wow that's some pac inflation. -- nm - tobor.2 Jun 30, 16:01
clarification: "news" = "informed speculation" -- nm - ML Jun 30, 15:55
