If they "take over" the PAC 10 the way it appears they are going to then I honestly believe it is a matter of time before they destroy that conference as well.
Texas is the pretty girl who everybody wants, but when she's finally your own you realize she's a sucubus. I have come to the opinion you tell UT you can come on as an equal partner (with no special treatment) or you can get the hell lost.
Piss on them. The Big 10 is going to be fine athletically, academically, and financially without them.
Agreed. Even if all the stuff on the NW board is true, and I have my doubts, We do not need Texas if they don't come as an equal. Let them go and cause the Pac-10 to implode. I give the new Pac 10 about 14 years, tops, before the California schools pitch a fit and Texas and the little lebowski academic underachievers that came with them get the boot. Nebraska was definately the best choice from the perspective of enhancing football reputation.
ND and expanding eastward is the next logical step. Missouri is still possible if there is a space left over, they'd bolt the MWC in a second.
