Colorado first to join the PAC

[AUTaxMan]

Latest from a well-connected individual:

aTm is over 80% SEC. They want in and are working with the Slive to bring Oklahoma with them. Oklahoma prefers the SEC to the Pac10, but for some reason Slive does NOT want Oklahoma State, which makes it even tougher on Oklahoma. I have no idea how it ends, but right now the chances of Oklahoma coming without their cross-state rival are very slim.

This is all about the West. Once that is done the SEC looks to the ACC. I can't get confirmation on what the magic number is (14 or 16), but all signs point to 16 (two in each division).

Finally, the 'men' in Austin are scared to death of the SEC. They belong in the Pac10 with the Cal's and UCLA's of the world. If they wanted in, the SEC West looks like this next week: Texas, aTm, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State would be joining LSU, Arkansas, Ole Miss and Miss St.

I couldn't think of a good comment? Not quite. I just don't feel like wasting my time with a retard. To claim that Oklahoma is better than Georgia and Tennessee is retarded. Prove it to me first by playing an SEC schedule every year then we can talk. Until then, GTFO.

Now we hear this from Kevin Scarbinsky of Bham News:

If the increasing number of media reports are true, at least four more Big 12 schools ? Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State ? will join Colorado in moving to the Pac-10.

Texas A&M, in the delightfully stubborn tradition of one of our favorite regents, Gene Stallings, the former Alabama football coach, may be just ornery and independent enough to go its own way.

Barring political intervention in the Lone Star State, two well-connected SEC insiders told The Birmingham News today, Texas A&M is going to leave the Big 12 and join the SEC.
The announcement could be made in a matter of days.

A&M officials have been undecided on whether to join the Pac-10 or the Southeastern Conference, but that has started to change in the past 48 hours.

One highly placed Big 12 school official said there was no doubt that league members Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State would join the Pac-10.

“The decision has been made,” the official told the American-Statesman Saturday. “We’re bringing everybody to the Pac-10 but A&M.”

The official said that formal offers could be made this weekend and that the Aggies could still decide to go along. If the Aggies don’t go, he said, the Pac-10 would consider including Kansas or Utah as a replacement.

Texas Athletics Dirrector DeLoss Dodd said Saturday the Longhorns were still “looking at all options” before deciding whether to stay in the crumbling Big 12 or move to another league.
Dodds has said he wants to keep the Big 12 together. The Longhorns are considered the key to the league’s survival, particularly after it lost Nebraska (Big Ten) and Colorado (Pac-10) in a matter of two days this week.

The Texas regents have scheduled a meeting Tuesday for “discussion and appropriate action regarding athletic conference membership.”

An official at a Big 12 school with knowledge of the talks confirmed that Pac-10 Commissioner Larry Scott was traveling to Texas and Oklahoma this weekend to present a case for Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State to join the Pac-10.

Texas would need the regents’ approval to change leagues. Texas Tech has also scheduled a Tuesday regents meetings.

Texas A&M has not scheduled a regents meeting. Texas A&M President Bowen Loftin would not comment this week on speculation that A&M is considering moves to the SEC or the Pac-10, or say if the school was leaning toward one league over another.

Loftin said he would like A&M and Texas to continue their annual football rivalry, even if the teams end up in different leagues.
“We were very happy to stay in the Big 12, the way it was. It’s changing now,” Loftin said. “The Big 12 is not what it was, and we have to think about its future, and ours.”

The possible breakup of the Big 12, and the prospect of Baylor and Texas A&M not joining Texas in a new league, is causing some alarm in Austin, the Texas capital.

The House Higher Education Committee has scheduled a Wednesday meeting “to discuss matters pertaining to higher education, including collegiate athletics.”

Gov. Rick Perry, a Texas A&M graduate and former Aggie yell leader, has appointed every regent to the schools’ respective boards. But he said this week he is staying out of the conference decisions and would not try to influence what the schools do.

No A&M to the Pac? If that's what they want, so be it. Show those Longhorns that you aren't in their shadow. :lollol:

I think he was focusing on the top 5 teams in the division and that you would likely be playing 6-7 top 25 and 2-4 top 10 teams a year if you were in the SEC East, assuming a 12-game schedule.

This. That division would be impossible to get out of without a loss or two.

Buddy, you're not just going to be able to roll through an SEC schedule like you have had the luxury of doing the Big XII every year.

Maybe not every year but OU would and could do what Florida and Bama has done the last 2 years. What I cant understand is you all say that stupid stuff about how other teams couldnt do that in the sec but Florida and Bama did it. So plz dont waste ur breath about that buddy crap when u just do9nt know.
