I take that back, thanks hoopstornament

If this is true... lets kick out Texas... tell them to eat one

 

[Trice]

I hope this announcement from the PAC doesn't erode too much of OU's leverage. It really is in the best interest of the entire league to make things more equitable.

According to aggieyell.com Texas A&M has been accepted into the SEC.

just curious can somebody tell me how many credits CloneFan4 has raked in from this post?

Thats the thing... OU can say 'do this or we're leaving' and Texas can now say 'oh yeah, where?'

If OU really was trying to use the PAC as leverage, it just lost a lot of its cards.

RT @kbohls: Pac-12 decided not to expand and notified Texas and OU because it wasn't worth the hassle for Pac-12.

Lol. All this conference realignment stuff is just too much work. Lets just stay at 12 and go surfing.

Not worth the legal hassle?

Thinking about it more, while OU might have a harder time with the 'do this or we're leaving'.. the rest of the members now can vote in changes knowing Texas doesnt have an option out west.

My guess is OU lost its leverage earlier today if not sooner and Texas probably knew that. OU may not get everything it wants but after all this I can't see Texas not giving ANY ground. Something has to change.

Mizzou and these SEC rumors is the next domino to fall.

Or perhaps Texas is going to give in on OU's and the rest of the conferences demands and PAC 12 is first to break news that OU and co. aren't coming now?

Twitter blowing up can take a back seat to CF blowing up.

That is a possibility.

I was thinking something along these lines as well...

How are we going to get to 15,000 posts now?

We still need to decide when A&M will leave and then there is always the talk of who we add...plenty of time to get to 15,000

There is still a lot of drama to come, don't worry. This all isn't totally settled.

And Aggie is still at the bus stop.
