Would a Pac expansion that does not include the Horns give those teams any more money than they would make in the Big 12? Doubt it.
That would leave less options for the B1G if they wanted to expand.

Oregon plays LSU in JerryWorld tomorrow. That's why he is headed to Dallas. Major game on primetime.
The problem with Texas going indy is that they would have nowhere to place their Olympic sports.
It would be hilarious to see them go to the SEC if the Big 12 fell apart. Aggie would cry.
This is true....without a doubt this is probably why it is headed there, however, just the thought of Larry Scott being in Dallas would make me nervous if I were a Big 12 fan right now.
I think if the iceberg had a shiv and actively attacked the Titanic, that analogy would be more apt.
This tweet pretty much confirms that OU and the P12 are talking:
Adding non-AQ schools (except for BYU) devalues OU's revenue share which is why they would go for the P12.
Plane is owned by the former Oregon AD. I don't even know why anyone would assume Larry was on it.
Not LSU's. That is plenty of time to rebound from a loss if you're in the SEC. In fact, LSU won a NC with two losses a few years ago.

One Big 12 administrator told Orangebloods.com Big 12 staying together has 70% chance; Pac-12 raiding B12 a 30% chance.
Yeah, I would assume that OU is talking to the Pac. They want a contingency plan in case the Big 12 doesn't land anyone. I would bet JP is talking to the Big East and/or DeLoss Dodds too.
Really? Because I just read "One Big 12 administrator told Orangebloods.com Big 12 staying together has 70% chance; Pac-12 raiding B12 a 30% chance." Nowhere in that does it state that OU & the Pac 12 are talking. I know there was that article in the Tulsa World a few days ago where Stoops mentioned the Pac 12 as an option, but he clearly stated that it was only an option if the Big XII fell apart. I'm sure Pac 12 & OU have had talks, but primarily as a contingency plan.
I also read Chip's tweet before that, "I'm told Texas and OU are still working to hold the Big 12 together and that reports of those schools and the Pac-12 would be premature."
That's a good point, forgot that the game was in Jerry-World...still I don't like him anywhere near B12 country.
Yep. I think OU honestly wants to bring in teams that would bring the conference back to where it needs to be, but if it can't be done, theyre prepared to go west.
