what makes 14 better than 12?

unless each new school added gives a new market it just dilutes each school's take

That is what we are talking about!!!

If we were to break into Texas, our media reach would automatically double. This allows us to take home much more money for each conference member...

TejasHorn, what do you think about Texas to the Pac Ten?? Yall were approached back in the 90s and I think culturally yall fit.


Texas' culture is much closer to the SEC than California or the west coast. Think about it. Not to mention location.

Now, there was a time when the UT power brokers were enamored with the Pac-10, mainly for academic reasons and a desire to put the Southwest conference hangover to rest. But at that time, we were lucky to go 7-5 every year and sell out a game. Now, no one wants to travel to Seattle, Corvallis, or heaven help us, Pullman for a game. Or watch it at 10 p.m.

Not. gonna. happen. I can see Texas and A&M joining the SEC w/in 10 years though. Those two are a package deal, fyi, due to state politics.
