If Texas goes east, PAC will take leftover publics

Step out of the east coast thinking for a second.

USC, Stanford, and Cal may get the attention, but a conference with Oregon State, Washington State, Utah, Arizona State, and Colorado would welcome Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, Kansas State, and Iowa State. And the liberal California schools will get on board when they see their only remaining alternatives are the BYUs, Baylors, TCUs, etc.

PAC will add 3-4 new states into the fold, will get central time games, and will get a playoff autobid as 1 of the 4 super conferences. Not a big win, but a win.

Dude of Minn tweeting a bunch. Predictions on fallout if OU/KU went B1G -- Colonel Jessup 01/19/2016 09:53AM

Dude of WV seems depressed. Talking about WVU looking to exit Big XII. ** -- HOO86 01/20/2016 12:48PM

Hilarious! Where are those hillbillies going to go?!? -- ren_hoek 01/20/2016 1:28PM

For a laugh here it is. -- HOO86 01/20/2016 2:30PM

The Dude has been saying for some time now that the BigXII isn't expanding. ** -- Maroon Baboon 01/20/2016 3:23PM

And saying they will expand. And then saying they won't. -- Bashful Baron 01/20/2016 4:41PM

Here are some tweets of him saying no expansion. -- Maroon Baboon 01/20/2016 5:51PM

Both schools have had asperations for the Big 10 for decades ** -- BigCrumpy 01/19/2016 3:05PM

Unless the B1G wants to take on OkSt and K-state, this is a non-starter IMO -- Maroon Baboon 01/19/2016 10:48AM

If move is to 4 MEGAconferences, the SEC could claim KSU and OSU. -- chuckd4vt 01/19/2016 4:19PM

What "value" does Baylor and TCU add to the SEC? -- VTHokie2000 01/19/2016 5:36PM

Actually, Houston might be preferable to either of those -- I85Hokie 01/20/2016 10:39AM

True dat. Though, I've heard Baylor has tremendous support in Texas govt. -- chuckd4vt 01/20/2016 1:56PM

For conferences that have their own network -- VTHokie2000 01/20/2016 1:30PM

Texas is BIG. The one per state model probably wouldn't apply. -- chuckd4vt 01/20/2016 02:54AM

IMO Why? -- BigCrumpy 01/19/2016 3:05PM

Political pressure to include 72- 80 schools. -- chuckd4vt 01/20/2016 02:53AM

If you go down to being forced to take Temple and UCF, where does it end? -- Maroon Baboon 01/20/2016 09:06AM

I think it ends with 80. Bingo Bango. -- chuckd4vt 01/20/2016 1:12PM

This had been public knowledge for years ** -- BigCrumpy 01/19/2016 3:06PM

What has been "public knowledge"? -- Maroon Baboon 01/19/2016 6:23PM

Disagree. They aren't going to add just to add. ** -- Maroon Baboon 01/19/2016 2:34PM

Just add what? ** -- BigCrumpy 01/19/2016 3:14PM

Schools in the big 12 that aren't UT, OU, or KU ** -- Maroon Baboon 01/19/2016 6:18PM

WRT Iowa State -- VTHokie2000 01/19/2016 1:22PM

B12 offered to dissolve 2 years ago if they could home all 10 schools -- BigCrumpy 01/19/2016 3:08PM

If the ACC, Big Ten, Pac-16, and SEC decided to work together -- VTHokie2000 01/19/2016 3:40PM

Other than the ACC, they've been working together a ton lately. -- chuckd4vt 01/20/2016 1:59PM

They may be working together -- VTHokie2000 01/20/2016 3:11PM

Iowa State is an AAU member ** -- Tailgate Guru 01/19/2016 2:07PM

AAU membership means nothing to anyone but B1G -- BigCrumpy 01/19/2016 3:14PM

I don't think it is out of the realm of possibility for B12 to remain -- Colonel Jessup 01/19/2016 12:22PM

I agree with you but remember KU is really in a fix -- BigCrumpy 01/19/2016 3:17PM

Just a monkey flinging poop against a wall, hoping something will stick ** -- EDGEMAN 01/19/2016 10:22AM
