PAC 10 looking at Big 12 Schools

Sure would shake up the landscape of college football but might be the start of a playoff in college football. If it were to bring about a playoff system then I'm all for it as long as they don't jack with the SEC unless the SEC could land UT

Re: PAC 10 looking at Big 12 Schools
 

The six teams they are talking about could just as easily join the sec instead, thereby forming a supermega conference. The rest of the ncaa would never recover.

Re: PAC 10 looking at Big 12 Schools
 

I suspect this is all Notre Dame's fault. I wish they'd join the Big 10, it'd be a win-win, and the Big 10 could be happy and wouldn't need to pry teams out of other conferences. Big 12 would be awful weak if they took out NE and Mizzou and the financial implications would be huge.

Nebraska has left the big 12..wtf!

Re: PAC 10 looking at Big 12 Schools
 

Just great the Big 12 is being pillaged! All in the name of the almighty dollar!

This may be a real stupid question - but doesn't this also affect the other men's and women's athletics, not just football? Has anybody thought about that?!

Re: PAC 10 looking at Big 12 Schools
 

Looks more imminent now.

UT and OU should go to the SEC for sure.

Re: PAC 10 looking at Big 12 Schools
 

It's official - Huskers join the Big 10. I'm not sure how to explain this to my kids without them missing math questions - the Big 12 now has 10 schools (for now) and the Big 10 has 12.

Re: PAC 10 looking at Big 12 Schools
 

I actually think its the first step in creating a playoff system or a more consolidated champion. I like the moves. You get to have conference championships in all the conferences, which to me is very important in the whole scheme of things. A playoff system of conference champions would be beautiful; and maybe have 1 or 2 teams from non bcs conferences thrown in the mix.

Re: PAC 10 looking at Big 12 Schools
 

This is the upside part of it. The downside is IMHO when conferences get bigger than 12, we'll lose the feeling of rivalry, familiarity and tradition. Suddenly these conferences will seem like big corporations. And I don't like the extra travel time - I think it will take it's toll on student athletes, going from CST to PST and back. What happens for instance when Texas has to travel to Wash St for baseball or volleyball? Not fun.

Re: PAC 10 looking at Big 12 Schools
 

What a mess...i wish we had the old southwest conference now..can u imagine if UT and A&M join the SEC?..A&M is talking about it...that will be really strange...

Re: PAC 10 looking at Big 12 Schools
 

Yea I agree, that will be tough. I hate how the NCAA runs things, its like they prey on college athletes to get money, then they throw up these allegations and crap when the students that make them money get money.

With how things are though and all things considered(Big 12 dissolving), I don't understand why Texas doesn't join the SEC; I don't understand them going to the Pac 10. I mean I understand Oklahoma going, they sort of in that area where they could fit into a lot of different conferences and be ok. Nebraska going to the Big 10 is probably best for them. Texas would fit perfectly in the SEC though; and it'd probably help their recruiting.

Re: PAC 10 looking at Big 12 Schools
 

The SEC will continue to dominate. I really don't care what the rest do.

Re: PAC 10 looking at Big 12 Schools
 

They're doing a Toby Maguire.... show me the money. The Pac10 is up for a new TV contract while the Sec is not. Texas A&M is looking hard though.

Re: PAC 10 looking at Big 12 Schools
 

I could really care less if A&M goes to the SEC if they don't bring UT with them. A&M gets by on their rivals names, they haven't been a draw in sports for years plus I'd like to see LSU/UF and other baseball teams in the SEC play UT each season

Re: PAC 10 looking at Big 12 Schools
 

If UT joined the SEC the SEC would automatically become the undisputed best conference in college football - and probably also baseball.

Re: PAC 10 looking at Big 12 Schools
 

lol

college football goes in cycles...the big 12 was takin the SECs dominance so they split it up

Re: PAC 10 looking at Big 12 Schools
 

Good point and so true...lol

Re: PAC 10 looking at Big 12 Schools
 

your right about that neugey, most big football programs share with there school teams.

Re: PAC 10 looking at Big 12 Schools
 

there arent any other sports

Re: PAC 10 looking at Big 12 Schools
 

They already are...

Re: PAC 10 looking at Big 12 Schools
 

They did all for the money. Its just a mess

Man, I didn't fully realize til now that Texas was the tail, and the Big 12 is the dog. And that the dog doesn't wag the tail ...
