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.
