The PAC might look at the Big 12 getting a richer TV contract and possibly a championship game with only 10 teams and wonder why they are adding programs. So take heart, myboynoah! This may yet fall apart. As always, I will celebrate when the ink is dry on the contract. (Well, maybe when the invitation is announced.)
    The only thing that is keeping me sane right now is the fact that Colorado has accepted the invite. The PAC-10 may be suffering buyer's remorse right now but I don't know if there is anything they can do about it at this point. Between Colorado's B12 buyout cost and the relative recentness of the invite, I don't know what has been signed, what hasn't, and if there were any conditions tied to any of this, so maybe the PAC-10 has an out.

    For my sanity's sake, I hope not.

      Unbelievable. The five "leftovers" (KU, KSU, ISU, BU, Mizzou) agreed to sign over their share of CU/NU's buyout money to UT, OU, ans A&M

        Yeah, Stewart Mandel tweeted the same thing.

        That is the biggest concern I had about being in a division with Texas.

          What other choice did they have? Either give up the buyout money or go to the MWC and get peanuts. They had to do this.

            Like Ted Nugent said, don't play poker with Texas. I can't stand Texas to perfectly honest. But watching this play out makes me think "Damn, they're rad." I fully expect them to be granted a conference championship game at this point if they ask for it. Don't mess with Texas.

                at this point, I am fully expecting a Texas clause in the TV contract that they are the only school that can legally succeed from the conference without penalty.

                • Bill Hancock is on the Scott Van Pelt show. He said that if a mega conference formed, it would take one of the at large BCS spots. So further consolidation of power from the BCS schools. What an asshole this guy is.

                  • slmandel RT @OSaadelson: football teams will play a 9 game conference sked in slimmed down big 12
                    So, the PAC-10 expands to play a championship game just like the Big-12, and the Big-12 decides to play a 9 game schedule like the PAC-10.

                    I'm getting dizzy.

                      Yup, their basketball prowess is so obvious, they devoted an article to reminding people of it.

                      Had we gotten KU in the MWC, I'm sure we would have gotten a similar article: "This week, we examine the Kansas basketball program...."
                      At least the Big Ten went after a big-time addition in Nebraska; the Pac-10 wanted a game so badly, it added Utah

                              Here's some advice for you, you archetypical ZOOB. Try to process this tragedy you're experiencing right now outside the little box in which your brain has resided. Try to get it outside the box with the little eye-hole cut outs and look at the forest. Everything that you have accepted as verity your entire life isn't as you have thought it was. You won't grow if this shocking turn is just processed through the same little box with the eye-hole cutouts. You need to get out of the box and re-evaluate everything.

                              Once again we see that reflection is not a strong suit. You are trying to bend reality and cram it into that little box. This will always hold you back.
                              When a true genius appears, you can know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in a confederacy against him.
