PAC 10 INVITES GOING OUT - Big XII Coach Source

I just don't know if I see the Big Television going to 16. I think the PAC-10 could be setting themselves up for a Western Conference type of expansion nightmare.
Well we will see how dedicated Texas is to Baylor right now. The only chance we have in not playing in division II in a couple of years hinges on that decision.
Ironically, I think Baylor might be in worse shape than us without the Big12 or Pac 10. At least we have some mates to help us rebuild....
It is really two 8 team conferences and they just play a couple games against each other.
They don't need people to actually watch the network, they just need lots of people with cable/satellite subscriptions. They'll end up paying for the network without ever watching it. Same issue with the NY "market" in the Big 10. With a conference member in located NY state, the Big 10 will get $0.70 (I think, and $0.10 for every household outside a Big 10 state) per household that receives the channel per month regardless of actual viewership. For ISU, we bring no extra revenue via the BTN because the state was locked up through Iowa. It isn't "not enough TVs" it's 0 TVs from the BTN revenue standpoint.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out with Baylor and the Rest of the Texas' teams. It will also be interesting to see how the Texas Legislature pulls it's strings to get Baylor apart of the deal.
Will CU will a conference game? They will be in a division with TU and OU
Colorado is TOAST.
Instead of competing with ISU, KU, KSU, MU, and Nebraska.... they will be playing Texas, Oklahoma, Okie St, TT, A&M, Arizona, and Arizona St. And some years they might also get a USC or Oregon too.
They might not ever win a game.... besides some non-conference lightweights? Heck, they can't even beat CSU either, so there goes that idea. How does 2 wins a year sound to you Buff fans?
yeah, CU just gave up any chance of ever competing again, but maybe that is ok with them
exactly. When they break...which they will...texas will take the arizona schools with them in the next move. Texas is slowly but surely shedding anyone they think is dead weight and building up a new southern conference that will one day rival the big10. Write it down.
what, are you 7 years old? CU at one point was one of the best programs in the country. Who's to say they can't get there again.
