I bet they would if the revenue was divided equally among the conference members, but that's probably the non-starterThe PAC 12 wouldn’t allow UT to keep the longhorn network. That’s a non-starter.
Probably, and yeah. It’s a non-starter from both sides.I bet they would if the revenue was divided equally among the conference members, but that's probably the non-starter
- this appears to be a recap of old news
- I don't have the subscription to read the full article, but this positions NCSU and VT as expansion possibilities for the SEC. I'm mildly curious as to the full content, while being dubious of McGee's knowledge, but I still think UNC will be the school that the SEC next targets.
- point of debate on the VT realignment forum, which conferences would be most willing to allow Texas to keep the Longhorn Network? Consensus seems to be the ACC and the Pac12, which I think makes sense. I don't see the B1G or SEC being willing to negotiate that.
- note: trigger for this discussion is around potential move of the Pac 12 HQ to LV (Vegas gets more visitors originating from Texas than any other state except California)
Only thing I want to know about that is where is Moses lining up. Dude that loses his leg, well, that's probably him.What the heck is even on the Longhorn Network?
Texass VS San Angelo State for football ?
bull riding ?
Expand to a 14-game regular season, let OU schedule the whorns and cowgirls and let KU schedule Missouri and KSU and everybody is happy.I read something last night that ranked the top ten realistic expansion targets for the Pac-12.
It had:
#1 Oklahoma
#2 Kansas
Yes, please.
Follow the money. Always.Given the news of the 12 team playoff recommendation and I think it's going to pass. Does this cool down realignment for awhile?
All the good looking girls all have a date to the dance. Maybe Missouri moves to the Big Ten someday. Maybe WV joins the ACC. That slut Texas and her backwater cousin OU bimbo might jump someday. But thats it. Everyone has a date. Unless someone lifts up some of them uglier girls, they aint getting in without some work.Follow the money. Always.
Realignment will happen whenever a conference sees a significant margin for adding a school & the school also sees a big payday. For the school, it's not always about the direct revenue from the conference. CU's calculus, for example, heavily weighted toward connecting with more of its out-of-state alum donors.

Nah. Every conference needs bottom feeders. If you kick some out, others will take over the space vacated. It sucks for some schools who missed the boat, and it’s fortunate for schools who have been floating on a life raft for 60 years.Good analysis
Somebody is going to have to be ready to put out to get invited.
Wouldn't surprise me if some of the conferences aren't trying to figure out how to divorce the ones they have been married to for a long time but who don't do much of the work but still make sure they get a big slice of the pie.
You can't outgrow a conference if you're only winning it once a decade. Such a ****er-esque take from USC media.
Even football would be tougher.USC probably could do very well as an independent if the remaining member schools of the PAC 12 played nice. If they didn’t, football would probably be fine, but the basketball and the remaining non-revenue sports would be in for a rough ride.
Agreed. It would be a lot of traveling, but it is doable. For what it’s worth, the SC faithful think it’s a terrific idea, and they’ll just keep playing in the PAC 12 for all the other sports.Even football would be tougher.
There are zero P5 teams west of the Colorado/Kansas border that aren't in the P12. The only highly respected G5 programs are BYU and Boise. The high profile of USC could get them a lot of 1 for 1s and even a few 2 for 1 with P5 programs but they would still be doing a lot of travelling.

Should USC consider leaving the PAC-12 and go independent?
Should the USC athletic department consider leaving the PAC-12 conference and going independent? We hear from LA Times sports columnist Bill Plaschke and Trojan athletic director Mike Bohn on the subject.247sports.com

Just need to hire a competent cheater instead of the ADs buddies.This would be like FSU blaming the ACC because they haven’t been nationally relevant in a few years and going independent. Maybe USC should get their program back to where it should be and quit blaming the conference
Almost sorta. Slight difference is that the ACC actually has a team that is always is the Championship hunt (Clemson) and FSU rarely makes it to the conf championship…where as USC routinely does. Nevertheless, it’s not the Pac-12, per say, that is USC’s problem.This would be like FSU blaming the ACC because they haven’t been nationally relevant in a few years and going independent.
