I used to be in favor of a move out West for OU

I'm not even entirely against the idea now. Playing a couple of games in LA every few years would be awesome. Plus, I have family out in the Pacific Northwest that would absolutely love to be able to see the Sooners every so often, as well. And if ut, OSU, and one other texas school were to jump to the PAC, the Sooners might as well do the same. Realignment has killed (or seriously maimed) so many rivalries that it'd be nice to preserve at least some history if seismic movement were to happen again. Those reasons aside, the SEC or B1G would still probably be better fits for us if the Big 12 collapses.
I'm also curious as to if some of that 10% for $500M money that PAC is seeking would be used to try and buy-out the longhorn Network. What were the original numbers for that again? Back in 2010 it was something like $300M for 20 years?

Dennis Dodd Weighing in about the PAC12 -- HOO86 02/19/2019 7:54PM

10% for $500M? What's the SECN and BTN worth? Eleventy bajillion? -- reestuart 02/20/2019 1:14PM

That's not 10% of the PAC12 Network, that's the PAC12 -- mrcaniac 02/20/2019 3:37PM

Somebody like Learfield IMG could bid. -- HOO86 02/21/2019 8:57PM

Except they don't get any content -- mrcaniac 02/21/2019 10:00PM

Perhaps the PAC12 should consider giving them some content. -- HOO86 02/24/2019 2:02PM

I guess I should say Gray Media now. -- HOO86 02/25/2019 4:32PM

I think Mr. Wonderful would take them to task on their valuation. ** -- dallasvt 02/20/2019 5:35PM

I'm loathe to admit it, but -- OU_Sooner 02/20/2019 12:32PM

Sounds like you're pushing for a B10 or SEC invitation for the Sooners. -- EDGEMAN 02/20/2019 2:04PM

That 10% if for a cash infusion to the schools -- mrcaniac 02/21/2019 4:57PM

Good info, thanks ** -- OU_Sooner 02/21/2019 5:08PM

If I was OU, would push for a "closer" conference -- EDGEMAN 02/21/2019 12:17PM

Agreed ** -- OU_Sooner 02/21/2019 12:55PM

If the "closer" conference is either the Big Ten - West Division -- VTHokie2000 02/21/2019 3:53PM

All valid points -- OU_Sooner 02/21/2019 5:07PM

If the 2 AL schools ended up switching to the East Division -- VTHokie2000 02/21/2019 5:32PM

I'll never understand what happened to Nebraska -- OU_Sooner 02/22/2019 07:33AM

Read between the lines -- Mercury 02/20/2019 07:06AM

Yikes!!! ** -- Stech 02/19/2019 9:02PM
