I admire Texas for this.

We don’t want Texas and would like to give Colorado back.

That they are going along with the general greed that’s ruining college football.
To: nickcarraway
Yeah, I’m sure their decision had nothing to do with money.
To: texanyankee
I really hope that comment was typed with a heavy dose of sarcasm. That is the only reason UT did what it did. It knew their pull would be greatly reduced in teh PAC-whatever.

The Pac-10 needs Texas so that Oregon will no longer have the ugliest uniforms in the league.

If they left the Conference the Texas - OU game wouldn’t be. Since the different Conferences negotiate and have different broadcasting companies (ABC, NBC, ESPN, etc) pay to play their games only. Kinda like a monopoly, huh.
A rivalry between Conferences would be nixed by the broadcasters. IMHO.
Personally, my favorite is Friday Night High School football! Yeah!!!!!

I was getting ready to put my Big 12 gear on e-bay. I thought we were goners because UT President William Powers is a Cal-Berkely alum

Yes, I knew about Deloss. Hell, he built this program and wanted to keep the Big 12 together but I wasn’t too sure of Powers

In our new world the Big 10 will have 12 teams, the Big 12 will have 10 teams, we will drive on the parkway and park on the driveway. Everything is normal!

Missouri, which started it all with the flirtation with the Big-10, does not deserve to be included in the new Big-10!!!!!
