I was hoping for the opposite, but this might not be too bad in the long run.

My pipe dream of Nebraska returning to a reconstituted Big 12 is finally dead. But I have to say, the thought of Oklahoma in the SEC and Texas in the Pac-20 does provide a certain fizz of anticipation for CFB.

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
