So we know we are good with current Pac members over who they would pick. I'm kind of wondering about one player that I am hoping will be an ally in this, albeit so far a very quiet one, and that is OU. As an old Big 8 school I am hoping they would rather have CU in conference than Baylor. Seriously I haven't heard a peep out of OU. They are a freaking giant of college football, they have to have some opinion on all of this.
The thing that drives me nuts with all of this, is that everybody keeps coming back to money. The only driver in all of this expansion talk is TV money. CU adds way more money to the deal than Baylor. Baylor probably results in a net loss of money to each member by being added, doesn't this seem obvious to everybody?
I don't think you'd get any argument from anybody the CU would bring more money of Baylor - the sticking point is would the Pac 10 be willing to forgo any lost revenue by losing CU to Baylor over the potential of losing any additional revenue gained by gaining Texas --
That I understand, but so far I have yet to see any indication that any posturing from the Baylor folks is going to amount to any more than that. Until I see an actual legal block of UT going to the Pac 10 without Baylor this is a no brainer. The way I see it, Baylor is trying to force UT into a package deal with themselves. Last I checked UT doesn't like to be forced into anything and I would imagine would not look kindly on being so tightly tied to Baylor against their will.
