sad BIG12 fan

Heard that Houston & TCU would consider a PAC invite. I wonder if Houston would have to pay the $80 million exit fee? But if the PAC12 lands Houston & TCU I would assume 4 more schools would be invite. TECH? OSU? BAYLOR? KANSAS? I just dont see those schools spending $80 if there is no GOR.

Crazy question: would not TEXAS TECH & University of Houston not add more value? There are 30 Million TEXANS.

Pac-12/Big 12 Merger: The National Athletic Conference COLLEGESPORTSINFO.COM With the Pac-12 and Big 12 media rights contracts set to expire in the coming years, it's time to form something new: The National... This might be our best option thanks to ESPN & FOX Washington Oregon California Stanford Arizona Arizona St. Utah Colorado Baylor Texas Tech Houston TCU Oklahoma St. Kansas BYU WVU

Based on Jon Wilmer logic SMU and University of North Texas cover the DFW market. Sorry but I don't believe that.

Source: Oklahoma State Engaged in "Active Conversation" with the SEC GRIDIRONHEROICS.COM Oklahoma State is involved in active conversation with the SEC according to a source inside the Cowboys... Old Big12 South is getting back together. Now I know why Texas Tech admin didn’t care about the PAC. I hope

BIG12 Audition Tapes

That's a long drive.

Rumors are this is how 2021 PAC12 interviews went.

I would love have loved being part of the PAC12 but that was with USC & UCLA. Plus I would have preferred if TEXAS, OU, OSU were all part of the deal. Now, I believe the best option for the PAC & BIG12 is a merger. or just stay in the BIG12. Currently it appears ESPN & FOX only care about schools east of the Mississippi river. Something like this. EAST: Tech, OSU, Kansas, KSU, ISU, KSU, Houston. PLUS one: (TCU, BAYLOR or BYU) I would select Baylor. WEST: Oregon, Washington, Cal, Stanford, Utah, ASU, ARIZONA, Colorado.

TEXAS(UT) should be in the PAC. If you have ever been to Austin you would agree.

I vote for merger, but I am a TECH fan.

Oregon will be coming to Lubbock in 2023 & Tech will be coming to Eugene in 2024. By 2024 this might be a conference game. I hope.

As a TECH fan I would like this, but with OSU. We need a travel partner. Kansas is great for basketball and it adds the KC market. FYSA, University of Kansas is only like 30 miles for Kansas City.

From the PAC12 Everyone but WSU & Oregon St BIG12 Oklahoma St Texas Tech Kansas Kansas St ISU Maybe TCU BAYLOR WVU(Distance) Houston(potential) Cincinnati(potential)

Maybe I am wrong. Seems to me that the Wall Street Journal Value should be used as a indicator of what schools should be together to fight off the BIG/SEC.

Best option is a merger with the top 16 schools.

my vote: Oklahoma St, Baylor, TECH and Kansas(Basketball) and KC market. But I am a TECH Fan.

In the BIG12, there is a lot of hard feels towards Colorado. CAL & Stanford saying BIG12 schools aren't a culture fit has ruffled some feathers.

Im a not sure the Big12 will not add Oregon St or Washington St or they would make the cut for a merger. I can see MERGER being possible. From the PAC: Washington, Oregon, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, ASU. (CAL & Stanford are questions marks) From the BIG12: Kansas, Oklahoma St, Texas Tech, ISU, Baylor. (MAYBE Kansas St or TCU) Maybes BYU(Private Religious) & Houston. Schools that should be extremely scared. Washington St, Oregon St, Kansas St, ISU, (Private Religious schools: TCU and Baylor). These 16 schools should be able to make $60-75 million per what i have heard today.

As a TECH fan I understand how you feel. We can all thank ESPN for destroying college sports.

If I had to guess the Biggest and Best Programs in the PAC12 & BIG12 merge. PAC12: Oregon, Washington, CAL, Stanford, Utah, ASU, Arizona & Colorado. BIG12: Kansas, TECH, OSU, ISU, Baylor, TCU, Kansas St. AAC: BYU, Houston & Cincinnati 18 Great Schools

Welcome to the BIG/PAC16/18/20 So... Maybe the PAC12 should have added TECH, OSU, KANSAS, HOUSTON/BAYLOR

PAC12 247 11. USC 17. Washington 26. Arizona 29. Colorado 35. Oregon 49. Stanford 58. OSU 61. UCLA 63. UTAH 67. Washington ST 71. CAL 80. ASU

BIG12 247th recruiting rankings 3. TEXAS 7. TEXAS TECH 9. Baylor 10. Cincinnati (Future member) 15. WVU 22. ISU 24. TCU 37. SMU 42. OU 45. OSU 51. KSU 54. A&M 65. KU 72. UCF (Future member) 83. BYU 97. Houston

I believe rich schools with passionate fan bases are going to make waves with PAY FOR PLAY, I mean NIL. Specifically schools in Texas. Texans take sports(FOOTBALL) very serious. Just look at what Texas & A&M are doing. Don't be surprised to see TECH, Baylor, TCU & Houston do the same. BTW Baylor, TCU & SMU are rich private schools with donors with deep pockets.
