Pac12 won't take Texas. Pac12, like the SEC, made its additions and they are set.



The Pac 12 would take Texas in a heartbeat, as would any conference in America. UT is still the crown jewel of conference realignment. No team in America brings the financial value they have in terms of tv market.

meh, the pac 12 was more than willing to accept texas in 2010 until they realized they would have to deal with the longhorn network. as long as the longhorn network is in place, conferences will have to deal with that

I think he means the Pac won't take Texas without baggage (the LHN, Texas Tech, etc). And we know that is true because they didn't.

Is the bridge burned? Who knows really.

None of the three top conferences are going to take Texas with their current wants. Part of the reason the SEC, B1G and PAC are thriving instead of crumbling like the Big 12 is equal revenue sharing which Texas wants no part of at the end of the day.
