I for one would accept OU and even Oki Lite moving to the Pac 12. But no way in hell would I want the whorns in the Pac 12. That school is toxic to every conference it gets close to.
The texas legislators seem to think they have all the power here. But I don't think they do over the Oklahoma schools.
Citing that TV deal and its revenue-sharing model, Scott did say that Texas could not keep the Longhorn Network if it were to join the Pac-12.
"We're wedded to that model," Scott said, adding, "anyone who is going to be a member of our conference is going to be a part of our network model."
**** that. The okies can stay in the Whorn 10.
Hahaha
You bet your ass that the Pac12 would add OU, even if that meant Okie light. We'd add a hell of a lot more cred to football world by adding what many consider the premiere college team and a recent top 15 team as well to the lineup. The Pac12 took a major hit yesterday with the suckiness of CU, Oregon St, USC (against a bad Minny that ended the game with a true frosh at QB) and a beating of UO. I don't know how many tv sets they would add directly, but for a lot of people that enjoy football they are a great team to watch. I wasn't around during the Switzer years, only the Stoops-era, but they are a great team, with a great tradition, a great fanbase and a great following nationwide. I was much more impressed @OU than I was @UT by a very, very large margin.
Facing those land thieves again would be awesome. We've done well against them historically and even a Hawk coach team should have won @OSU.
In other words, **** Texas.
UT is the dominant team in Texas as far as TV and attention but I agree with all the arguments about them being a cancer that we don't want. OU and OSU while not Texas teams have big enough alumni bases and fan bases in Texas that if they became part of the PAC the cable networks would have to seriously consider carrying the PAC cable network and the networks would include Texas in the coverage footprint for their regional games.
I don't know where Texas ends up. I think the Big 10 is a strong possibility and despite the academic arguments I wouldn't be shocked if they end up in the SEC. The most likely destination is the PAC but I hope they don't and if they do it absolutely must be made clear to them that they don't run the show.
In all honesty, the B10 might be the only way to go to pull in Tejas. The B10 carries more weight around than any other conference due to the sheer sizes of the schools in it. 40K+ student bodies are a regularity and the alumni base is huge. In the Pac12 they might play nice for a while, but not indefinitely. OU wants to think they have a lot of clout, and while they carry a lot, they still don't carry the same amount of Texas.
Texas and Notre Dame should join the Big Ten together. Change the division names to Ego and Hubris.
ill take ou okie lite ku and mu to the pac 12 as a giant **** you to texas
