Report: Pac-10 may be considering Baylor over Colorado

From the Tech boards:

http://mbd.scout.com/mb.aspx?s=188&f=1650&t=6005425

Just heard a brief interview with the Chipster....

Says the Pac10 commish proposed his three plans today and the one that all P-10 schools are going for is the six team deal.

HOWEVER....thanks to our good ol' Texas legislature.....there is now pressure to push Baylor off on the P-10 and make them take ALL Texas teams from the B12.

This would mean CU gets jettisoned....

This is not going to go well.
Baylor is not even a state school, why the Feck are they being thrown in!

This is irritating me.

Does Larry Scott call the bluff and say FU to Texas? Hell the Big 10 doesn't want to take Tech..we are willing to take Tech..and they want to tell us to take Baylor?

F that. bleh
 
i don't like this......nor do i like Texas "legislators" getting involved.

"The Texas legislators taking up for Baylor are pointing to the political and economic importance of keeping the Texas members of the Big 12 South together as well as Colorado's recent athletic struggles and lack of sports such as baseball, softball and men's tennis.
(The CU football team is 16-33 the past four years, and the hoops team has made the NCAA Tournament twice in the last 41 years. Baylor's football isn't much better at 15-33, but the Bears' hoops program is on the rise.)
"Denver as a television market doesn't really support Colorado," the source said. "And the weather can also be an adventure."

One more reason to piss in Danny's cheerios....
 
Lol, snaked by Baylor. Is the pac10 dumb enough to give that much power to Texas and UT?
 
Blah, blah, blah.

Expansion is about TV sets. Cu will stay in the mix. This is a bull**** somescreen. I am sure that the PAC 10 braintrust will surely want to jettison the 6th fastest growing state in the country and 19th largest media market for more exposure in Waco.

The texas legislature has some clout, but not that kind of clout. Yawn, wake me up when CU is part of the PAC 12, 14, or 16.
 
This is time for those carpetbaggers at the Denver Athletic Committee, or whoever it is that calls the shots for that cursed Rocky Mountain Showdown to get off their asses and point out that Denver is smack dab in the middle between the Texas schools and the Pacific Northwest, making it the natural host for Pac16 MBB, WBB, VB, Golf, running and Soccer tournements.

Then offer up Invesco and Pepsi and every asset possible to sweeten the deal.

If ever there was a time for the Denver voters and Mayor and Bohn to express their love for college athletics, this is your queue.
 
Not so sure they are even dumb enough to have to take on OU, OSU, TT. I hope the Pac tells them to take a flying leap...and allows them to bring one buddy - pick either A&M or OU and STFU!

In the end, I would LMFAO if NU and MU bolt, and Colorado gets an invite and bolts. Let the Texas legis win out and have fun playing in their glorified SWC...then come begging to anyone who will listen a few years down the road. I would love to see them lose in the end and go back to the Texass of the 80's/90's...couldn't happen soon enough.

THE PAC-10 PROPOSALS

Pac-10 commissioner Larry Scott laid out several possible expansion scenarios to his league's athletic directors during conference meetings in San Francisco on Saturday.

According to a source with knowledge of the Pac-10 meetings, Scott made cases to: stay at its current 10-school membership; merge with the entire Big 12; invite six schools from the Big 12, as long as it includes Texas; or invite Colorado and Utah.

The source said there is not much enthusiasm for a full-blown merger or for the league to go to 12 schools by adding Colorado and Utah.

Multiple sources said the plan Scott favors is adding six teams from the Big 12 (as long as it includes Texas) and creating two, eight-team divisions. The Big 12 schools would compete in a division with Arizona and Arizona State, while the remaining Pac-10 schools - USC, UCLA, Cal, Stanford, Oregon, Oregon State, Washington and Washington State - would compete in the other division.

Scott also apparently laid out two plans that would involve the six-team invitation to schools in the Big 12. One that included Colorado and one that replaced Colorado with Baylor along with the other members of the Big 12 South.

Bah.
 
This is all a big if because nobody outside the backrooms really knows what is going on, this is speculation from a Texas based writer looking at it from a Texas point of view.

That said if the PAC 10 lets this happen they might as well go out and order industrial size buckets of vaseline because this will mean that Texas will run everything and the origional schools will wish they had never let it happen, even with the money. Hopefully the left coasters are smart enough to recognize the power play and figure out that they don't want to deal with it.

They need to tell Texas "This is our league and our show, do it our way or go away."
 
So, CU has been on top of their list for 30 years and now they are going to dump us for Baylor? :smile2:

Where is the 30 year reference? And, who cares? If they get UT, it does not matter if they get CU, Baylor, or St. Mary's - Wasatch....
 
Mike...Call the Big 10

No kidding. **** the State of Texas and their lame assed politics. The Pac 10 should, pretty much, go tell them to **** off and take it or leave it. They do not want Baylor and DO want Colorado for a multitude of reasons.

I never believed there was.


If we get left out the only people to blame are the administration. They are the ones that didn't properly support the program and get it up to big standards.. In fact if we had our act together maybe the Big 12 wouldn't be in such dire straits as is.

Dan Talkins is probably happy about this. He'd love to go play MWC football in some minor league conference.. ****tard will probably be the coach here for the next 10 years if that happens.

Do they? They aren't interested in a utah/CU addition.. How do you know if they really want us?
 
I see Texas just jacking around. There are two goals. 1) Smoke out the depth of the Pac 16 pockets that they can use as leverage for the B12 television contract. 2) Blow up the Pac-16 offer.

Damnit.

If the UT black ops (read Lawmakers) are going to start smearing CU, it's time for a few Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, and Mizzou politicians coordinate a counter attack. Start pointing out the Texas dirty laundry. You know...the murder at Baylor, the A&M debt and news letter scandal, the Tech void of academic legitimacy, and every single strong arm tactic UT has used to bully the conference into a Texas centric model. Then blow up the B12. Too bad OU has bought into the Devil's bargan with Texas, because if they betrayed UT by saying they absolutely would not go to the Pac16 if Baylor goes, that would put the shoe on the other foot.

It's too bad fellow OU doesn't have the spine to join the anti B12 & pro CU stance in the Pac 16 discussion. The Sooners have stockholm syndrome with UT.

you really think Texas gives a **** about Baylor, Tech or A$M? This is all politics now with the Texas Legislators, stuff that's actually even above the University of Texas.. Texas could care less if Baylor or Tech comes to the Pac 10 or dies tomorrow..
 
Texas has basically enslaved CU. Either fork over the penalty for bolting and pray for a Pac10 CU/UU offer, or suck it up and commit allegiance to a Texas led B12. Either way, CU is screwed.
 
I seriously doubt that the PAC will prostitute themselves to the degree that would be required to let Baylor in. Culturally and academically they are a horrible fit. Of course, the same can be said for A&M, at least culturally, so who knows?
