PAC-12 AFFIRMS DECISION NOT TO EXPAND
WALNUT CREEK, Calif.-- In light of the widespread speculation about potential scenarios for Conference re-alignment, the Pac-12 Presidents and Chancellors have affirmed their decision to remain a 12-team conference. Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott said, “after careful review we have determined that it is in the best interests of our member institutions, student-athletes and fans to remain a 12-team conference. While we have great respect for all of the institutions that have contacted us, and certain expansion proposals were financially attractive, we have a strong conference structure and culture of equality that we are committed to preserve. With new landmark TV agreements and plans to launch our innovative television networks, we are going to focus solely on these great assets, our strong heritage and the bright future in front of us.””Comment

Does BYU need to apply to the Big-12 all over again?Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!
For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

"culture of equality" is a telling line. Good call, Pac-12. Texas is poison."More crazy people to Provo go than to any other town in the state."

I think it's awesome that the PAC has officially told Texas and Oklahoma "no thanks. We aren't buying what you're selling."Comment

So where are we now? Do OU and Texas and all the rest (except for aTm) go into counseling and figure out a way to live together in peace (and invite BYU and a another couple of schools)? Does OU still have any leverage over UT? Will the Sooners now show a little leg to the SEC?Originally posted by YOhio View Post
Sheesh. BYU may end up like Utah last year: Standing by and watching in restless agony while the titans of the sport posture and bluff, then quietly taking its place at the table after all the sound and fury end. I hope that's how all this ends.
EDIT: I have to say it: "Don't mess with Texas?" HAHAHAHAHAHA“There is a great deal of difference in believing something still, and believing it again.”
