Originally posted by Color Me Badd Fan View PostAre you serious? Texas could align itself with the California schools. Imagine going into a TV contract negotiation if you're Texas and only having the Big 12 states as your other TV markets. The Pac 10 controls Southern California, the Bay Area, Phoenix and Seattle. SoCal and the Bay Area dwarf any Big 12 market (maybe Houston and Dallas are bigger than the Bay Area) and Phoenix and Seattle are bigger markets than any Big 12 market outside of Texas.

Moving to the Pac 10 would put itself in the same conference with USC which is a step up from being in the same conference with Oklahoma. It also gives it better access to California recruits. Texas already is in the cat bird's seat in its own state, but I would imagine that it would also like access to the second best recruiting hotbed in the country. From a competitive standpoint in football, moving to the Pac 10 isn't a move down.
Basketball, however, is a different story. The Big 12 is a much better basketball conference than the Pac 10. But I think football rules Texas.Part of it is based on academic grounds.

Originally posted by SeattleUte View PostHas Texas apologized for decades of all-white teams? I think that should be a Pac 10 requirement. How about if Texas repudiates the infamous all-white NC in 1968?
You are talking about a team that traditionally played its biggest game of the year in the "Cotton" bowl.
I don't anticipate any apologies on the horizon.
How crazy is it that BYU football was integrated before Texas football? What an embarrassment.Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

The Pac 10 will offer a spot to Texas together with aTm. I doubt it will come to fruition for the Pac 10. Many of the hillbillies in Big 12 country still think they have the best conference in the country and would view it as a step down. Prying Texas away from the Big 12 is a wholly different story from when Texas was trying to leave the SWC.Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”
