Co ngress should make a rule they have to take New Mexico and NMS and then old Mexico before they get Texas or Oklahoma.

As long as CW only posts coupons and not opinions, we'll be OK. Everyone else can post every opinion they want.
What premiere academic institutions wouldn't want to be associated with universities like Okie State and Texas Tech where their most notable majors are in their College of Finger Painting? It just makes too much sense.
This stuff is generally not good. Should he put some pictures of sunshine and bunnies around it?
Sheesh...
This is exactly the procedure used by aTm on their way out the door.
1.Decide where you want to go.
2. Negotiate and make arrangements to do so.
3. Have the BoR give school President the authority to make the move.
4.School Pres applies for new conference
5. Conference accepts.
6. Ken Starr goes honey badger with his legal team because honey badger don't care.

That is why they needed to skidaddle before 1 Nov deadline. Maybe Pitt found out the B12 was going to move too slow so they jumped for the sure thing. In any case, they may have saived some ESPN money by dissolving the Big East.
Boomer, what does OU gain in the Pac?
Recruiting? You already pull top 5 recruiting classes with your Texas base.
Money? Big 12 contracts will be huge if you stay. You're already loaded.
Power? You'll lose some of your power.
Getting away from Texas? There's a solid chance they would follow.
Making Texas an equal? You can do that here.
I can't see a rational/logical reason for the move. I'm not saying this because I'm worried about ISU (I'm not at all), but I just don't see any logic.

Except for the fact that this is showing academics don't mean squat. OU bringing OSU to the PAC means OU is no longer an academic institution.
And you are such an attention ***** it's not funny.
This stuff is just all too funny in the most hypocritical of ways. Texas, OU, A&M, and Nebraska block the vote on equal revenue sharing back when the Big XII was formed and in large part due to their efforts to get a bigger slice of the pie then everyone else. This led to the majority of the instability within the conference and now guess who the ******** are that are now all bailing and blowing this sucker up.... the same 4 that created the problem to begin with. All of the other schools in the Big XII got screwed from the word go and now the same schools are going to get screwed again. I hope the remaining Big XII schools sue the holy hell out of everyone that is leaving now. In fact.... I hope Fox sues as well. They lose out on the Big XII product that they were promised in a 1.17 billion dollar tv contract. How much money was Fox going to make on that deal and now it looks like it isn't going to happen. Time to start getting the lawsuits in order and ready to be filed.
Better be retractable, I don't want to lose our grass and we only really have 1 or 2 games a year that are too cold to cause any issues.
I bet they go to a private session to do this anyways.
My question to you Boomer is what do you think about conference realignment? From all the unnamed sources, it sounds like OU will likely make the same or less money in the PAC whatever, see a dramatic increase in travel costs for athletics, really put a lot more pressure on the student athlete in the classroom(as in they will never be there during the season), and make travel a nightmare for fans, have a harder road to the NC game, with a possibility of losing ground in Texas in recruiting. That is a lot of negatives.
