Texas and Okie reportedly interested in joining SEC ....

If the AAC had any balls, they would be trying to poach the remaining top of the Big 12 and supplant them as a P5.

From my understanding they have already dropped an open invitation to all remaining Big12 members, publicly.

 

[Droopdog51]

I think the likeness ruling has a lot to do with this.

Texas & OU are traditional powers with huge number of fans. Couple that with the biggest and best conference in football, and you have tremendous potential for recruits to make mad money. On that basis, I think OU & Texas will be able to compete with Bama, LSU, UGA. The A&Ms, Auburns, Mississippi schools, Arkansas better get their "likeness" cash generating machine going for recruits.

Eh

I’d think many of them would rather go to the B1G or pac

I'm sure they would prefer those two leagues, but the chances are pretty slim that either the PAC or the B1G wants those schools.

Pretty sure nobody else would want Baylor, even after their basketball championship. They're going to end up in a G5 conference.

TTech might end up in the P12.

I'm having a hard time imagining what Tech brings to the table for the PAC. Recruiting grounds, maybe, but what else? And if "travel partners" are still a thing, who else would they want to bring along?

Reports are that Baylor, TTech and TCU have begged reached out. PAC might take one of them if they feel the "16 Pressure" zeitgeist. TCU might be the biggest name there, but maybe the godless left coast might reject them for the 'C'.

Don't forget SMU.

What's the definition of a Texas atheist?

Someone that watches Baylor play SMU (or TCU) and doesn't care who wins.

Remember when Baptist CoC changed their name? It almost ended up being Leightsey University, or something

The only thing any remaining team in Texas brings is a footprint in the Texas media market.

But maybe that's good enough in the PAC, where a lot of those teams want to recruit there.

BAHAHA...Kentucky gets screwed in both of those

I think it will be. Now to decide which ones they go with. Outside the B12, SMU and Houston come with the 2 largest media markets.

I remember when there was talk about Texas, A&M, OU & OSU possibly heading to the PAC around 2010/11. I hated the idea. The last thing I wanted was to wait till 9:00pm (central time) for a kickoff time for a 4 hour game on the west coast.

NO. I personally believe in order to keep from going full semi-pro ball with college is we need to keep at least 4 power conferences.
