[quote='BusNative;171407;9]Not sure. It seems that the Pac10 is unmoved by the cries for Baylor to come with, so how much better for the Texas legislature is 3 than just 2 or just UT?[/quote]

Considering Colorado looks like an academic liability right now, who knows what may pan out.

What are the chances a conference and 6 separate universities, including multiple Texas schools who have tons of political entanglements, all decided to join up at the same time?

The only thing that seems close to legit is Nebraska to the B10. The rest is speculation. It may happen, and since the Pac10 seems willing to have Tech join it probably will happen. Yet I am willing to bet all reports right now are nothing more than speculation.

I agree... just saying what do I know...

And, to be honest, not getting Texas would / does make me a little sad. ShaggyBevo is a great source for laughs...

You know what they call our new conference in France?
WTF is France?

I've gotten nothing done today - ESPN radio Dallas Gallagher & Co. (which is audio ShaggyBevo laughs) saying that the B12 is now trying to keep 11 together, but it all depends on Texas, Chip Brown coming on in another 5 min...

:shake: conference realignment migh get me fired...

I'm starting to get the sense that maybe Mizzou is just a bunch of dicks.

Not sure if its posted but the guys on Espn Austin had Chip Brown on, the Big 12 is dead. The Texas AD had a meeting with the president and the coaches said "they've did everything they could to keep the Big 12 together" at which point I almost got into a wreck from my jaw hitting the floor and laughing so hard.

Sounds like its gonna be UT/A&M/OK/OKSU/Tech/Colorado to the Pac 10. Looks like [censor] done hit the fan, it'll be interesting to see if its all true, personally if i was anyone of these people I would have done this to [censor] a radio station/recruiting guy, but thats me.

UT's gonna blame Nebraska, I still don't see how they couldn't replace them with SOMEONE else... I mean come on... TCU, UTAH, BOISE STATE????? all of those places get you more households than the entire state of Nebraska.

Later on i think i'm gonna break down the relative strength of the new PAC Man conference,
