Pac 10 (at the time) was interested in

Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, and Colorado. TAMU left Texas and the Big 12 for the SEC. Colorado finally joined the Pac 10 (12) after 20 years of interest in the conference. Baylor was never on the Pac 10's original list. Maybe Baylor was thrown in after TAMU left for the SEC, but the Pac 10 (at the time) never had any interest in any private schools, especially religious affiliated schools. Like the SEC and Big 10, the Pac 12 is interested in large state universities. Only the ACC (Miami, BC, Syracuse, and a partial Notre Dame) and Big 12 (TCU) added private universities during modern P-5 expansion.

I would rather see... -- Hokiedc 08/04/2016 8:14PM

OK. Texas must be relishing to jump into that division. NOT. -- HOO86 08/04/2016 4:14PM

Not real knowledgable -- Mercury 08/04/2016 3:00PM

I'd guess that Nebraska would have almost no say so. -- reestuart 08/05/2016 10:03AM

UT is a yes vote from NE. Sorry to let you know that. ** -- nebraskafaninwi 08/04/2016 11:39PM

Agreed. Zippo fear of TU dominating B1G. OSU, Michigan, PSU won't allow it. ** -- chuckd4vt 08/05/2016 12:52AM

So glad we don't have to worry about our future.... -- arcadtect 08/04/2016 1:08PM

If a conference/school is not considered to be the leader of the pack/group -- VTHokie2000 08/04/2016 1:39PM

A bunch of assumptions masquerading as facts resulting in the usual Q&A's** -- marcbvtgm 08/04/2016 12:59PM

I still say that the LHN will greatly complicate the TX switch. -- Mr. Touchdown 08/04/2016 12:28PM

Pac-12 would be easier. They have six regional Pac networks... -- Freddyburg Hokie 08/05/2016 3:35PM

Ownership of LHN will be a problem -- mrcaniac 08/06/2016 12:58AM

Conference with 4 divisions and 4 teams...is he poaching our post? :-) -- Stech 08/04/2016 12:22PM

It's the way to go. Only question is 16 or 20. ** -- HOO86 08/04/2016 4:15PM

I actually like 20 better because some really good teams would be left out -- Stech 08/04/2016 7:05PM

Yeah, though he's wrong about the conference "playoffs" -- hokiekev 2k4 08/04/2016 3:32PM

For public schools, if state governments start reducing the amount -- VTHokie2000 08/05/2016 11:53AM

I'm waiting on the IRS to remove tax exempt status from ... -- Atlee Hokie 08/05/2016 3:02PM

I do think it will happen eventually, but it will probably need -- VTHokie2000 08/05/2016 3:38PM

Yep...just have two divisions play each other and rotate every 2 years -- Stech 08/04/2016 7:02PM
