Bears repeating again and again: sips would not come to the SEC even if they could.

Colorado dove in before their spot was taken by Baylor
Colorado already had a deal to go to the PAC before any of the Texas/Oklahoma schools were considering it.

Once the deal fell through, Utah jumped in as well
I've always wondered why the rest of the schools simply didn't go ahead and join, then add Utah as #16? But then I heard that it was the LHN that soured things.

I watched the first one. Plonsky sounds like she's got blinders on so big that she can't see the forest for the trees. Swing and a miss on that one.

After reading the thread, I feel for texas AM.
Dear Texas AM,
I can see why Texas is scared to play you. I can understand the hate.

Once again, let me reiterate:
1. The LHN is badass in its current form
2. One school having its own badass network >> 14 schools sharing airtime on a single network
3. We all understand that a network dedicated to 14 schools will require more man power during its startup phase than a mature network that is dedicated to one school. That being said, re-read point #2

There may well be no SEC website with an equal number of posts attributed to...money, because there is no SEC school with as much ...money. The University of Texas has an endowment larger than all SEC schools combined. We deal with...money because that is what we are educated to do. A large number of us are educated to create value. That is why we talk about...money. Aggys build things that fall apart. UT grads manage businesses that endure. Hang around Texas for a while. It will be more obvious to you very quickly. Texans laugh at aggys. After all, their greatest tradition is a fu@king fairy tale, yet they believe it as if it is true. Texans respect UT grads.

Interesting, TAMU shares the PUF and TAMU is now in the SEC.

That's some great spin control. Must be a lawyer.

I drank a few beers and left the toilet seat up.
I got the pic off the shaggybevo thread.

quote:I don't believe that is accurate. Colorado was part of the six school group that Larry Scott envisioned coming over. I don't know who Scott talked to other than Bill Powers and Deloss Dodd (he didn't talk to anyone at A&M about it, even though they were in the proposed group, until A&M told the Horns they weren't going, so Colorado may have just been along for the ride, too). The reason that the Pac moved on Colorado was that, once Baylor got wind of what was happening, they thought they might be able to use political leverage to force Texas to take them along, rather than Colorado. The Pac 12 didn't want Baylor, so they made a preemptive move to take Colorado before they had the other Big XII schools lined up. The deal for the other Big XII schools fell apart when Texas insisted on retaining their 3rd tier rights rather than participating in the Pac's network, so the Pac had to add Utah as damage control.
Colorado already had a deal to go to the PAC before any of the Texas/Oklahoma schools were considering it.
Perhaps Colorado and Utah would have gotten offers under a difference scenario, but we'll never know, because the reason it went down the way it did was the Pac's aversion to Baylor horning in on the deal.

Nebraska tried to go to the B1G for about 100 years before actually getting it. This is fact not fiction, so all the talk of the Buffs to the PAC forgets it was Big Red started the dam bursting in the Big 12.
