[Houston & TCU]

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.

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

Old Big12 South is getting back together. Now I know why Texas Tech admin didn’t care about the PAC. I hope

[Oregon vs Texas Tech, 2023 & 2024]

That's a long drive. 

[Oregon vs Texas Tech, 2023 & 2024]

Rumors are this is how 2021 PAC12 interviews went. 

 

 

 

[Oregon vs Texas Tech, 2023 & 2024]

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.

[An SEC Viewpoint on Realignment]

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

[An SEC Viewpoint on Realignment]

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

 

[Oregon vs Texas Tech, 2023 & 2024]

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. 

 

 

[Potential ACC/P12 TV Partnership]

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. 

[Wall Street Journal P5 values.]

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) 

[Pac-12 Eyeing "Loose Partnership" with ACC]

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. 

[Wall Street Journal P5 values.]

Best option is a merger with the top 16 schools. 

 

 

[Clearly in Left Field...The PAC Retains All Schools]

my vote: Oklahoma St, Baylor, TECH and Kansas(Basketball) and KC market. 

 

But I am a TECH Fan. 

[Pac-12: Where Every Team Would End Up]

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. 

[Pac-12: Where Every Team Would End Up]

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.

AAC: BYU, Houston & Cincinnati

[Omigosh! How Can Baylor Be No. 5 in Recruiting?]

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.
