With out the lhn Texas makes more than any pac team

The Longhorn network is now making money so it isn't going anywhere. I just don't get why these people think that this is an automatic move. It's almost like they think Texas will be pressured into taking one for the country. Texas won't be pressured into anything

Help me understand what would make Texas want to be in the PAC

travelcoug

5/19/17 8:08pm

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

TNT

5/19/17 8:09pm

Don't just say $$$$$. Tell me where $$ would come from and how that amount

travelcoug

5/19/17 8:10pm

TNT doesn't know. If they could get more money

TNT

5/19/17 8:11pm

That's true. I think the uncertainty lies in whether they'd actually get more

Why don't you answer your own question and try to come up with a plausible scenario then

byuTX

5/19/17 8:20pm

I don't think there is any way the go. I can't find a reason they would.

travelcoug

5/19/17 8:33pm

I find people that live life in black and white fascinating

byuTX

5/19/17 9:57pm

That is why I am waiting for anyone to give me one good reason they would do it.

travelcoug

5/19/17 10:01pm

TNT is pretty sure it boils down to some folks want to believe

TNT

5/19/17 8:51pm

Basically the 4 x 16 conference scenario would just include the current P5

travelcoug

5/19/17 8:14pm

Again TNT doesn't know. It's not his job to figure out the how

TNT

5/19/17 8:15pm

Why does TNT want it to happen

travelcoug

5/19/17 8:19pm

Where did he say he wants it to happen?

TNT

5/19/17 8:42pm

The Longhorn Network money isn't going to last forever with how big of a flop it

Scratch

5/19/17 8:25pm

Not a flop! You have all the talking points. They're turning a profit now

travelcoug

5/19/17 8:35pm

Agree. The contract is one sweet deal.

Everyman

5/19/17 8:46pm

You are assuming they will be using the same format to negotiate

truecougster

5/20/17 11:07am

The only scenario that makes sense

Brigham

5/19/17 8:47pm

Even then a Texas centric conference with the big 12 leftovers and BYU is still

travelcoug

5/20/17 1:44pm

Really this is best option outside of the SEC for Texas

GeauxCougs

5/19/17 8:15pm

Any conference Texas cobbles together

travelcoug

5/19/17 8:20pm

That's just crazy talk

TNT

5/19/17 8:51pm

It's not about the $$$

Tare

5/19/17 8:17pm

I promise you there not gonna give up more than $10 million so they can feel

travelcoug

5/19/17 8:21pm

to create a whole new division or 6 teams in their territory

Nat Gas Man

5/19/17 8:40pm

Which 2teqms would the PAC drop to make that happen?

travelcoug

5/19/17 8:42pm

I would guess the PAC would take OU, OSU, T TT, KU, ISU, TCU, maybe KSU

Nat Gas Man

5/19/17 8:49pm

If Oklahoma goes anywhere, it's with Kansas to the big 10

travelcoug

5/19/17 9:02pm

PAC won't drop any current members...that isn't going to happen. For this to

Nat Gas Man

5/19/17 9:06pm

The legalities of dropping teams seems to make it prohibitive

TNT

5/19/17 9:11pm

If the PAC dropped OSU, WSU and maybe ASU they could compete with Ivy academics.

CougarWildcat

5/20/17 1:37am

Because they are a bunch of dirty granola eating hippies.

5/19/17 8:42pm

Better question: What would make the PAC want Texas to join

5/19/17 8:57pm

Yeah Texas would have to give that up

TNT

5/19/17 8:58pm

not necessarily, it could be folded into the PACN

Nat Gas Man

5/19/17 9:08pm

Not sure how that would work

TNT

5/19/17 9:09pm

The pac 10 network has failed, has no distribution. You think Texas is going to

travelcoug

5/19/17 9:40pm

Change is in the works...just depends upon how much

Nat Gas Man

5/19/17 9:44pm

Guaranteed that change doesn't include the ditching of a now profitable Chanel

travelcoug

5/19/17 9:48pm

The PAC XII made 1.4 mill per team from the PACXII Network Texas makes 1.475 mil

BYU Grounds

5/20/17 2:21pm

Actually you need to reread that. It's $295 Million over 20 years. $15 Mil/Year.

slatecoug

5/22/17 9:48am

it's $$$$$ and recruiting, and the big 12 doesn't matter. by going east, or southeast, they aren't going to open

macaroni

5/19/17 9:48pm

Texas name doesn't need to be attached to California to recruit in California.

travelcoug

5/19/17 10:05pm

except that they do. it's not likely that a great california kid will want to play at texas. your family can't

macaroni

5/19/17 10:12pm

Texas doesn't need to recruit California. Texas produces more D1 football players than California.

slatecoug

5/19/17 10:15pm

A great kid in Texas is probably staying there. Texas high school >>>> cali

travelcoug

5/19/17 10:19pm

Pretty sure everyone would love to have a school like UT. But so many bridges...

BamaCoug

5/19/17 10:02pm

The Big 12 has been in decline since Teams left

D.T. Survivor

5/19/17 10:11pm

That is not a reason for Texas to leave

travelcoug

5/19/17 10:13pm

That's why I said that's all I got.

D.T. Survivor

5/19/17 10:20pm

Not much, which is why they declined Larry Scott's overtures last time around.

Abe Froman

5/19/17 11:33pm

For starters, renaming it the Longhorn Conference might help.

bruincoug

5/20/17 5:59am

I donxt think they will. Going west for CFB is step down.

Big Time 55

5/20/17 8:28am

The template for such a move was written in 1996, by Texas themselves

Rize Alloyal

5/20/17 9:10am

What schools do you see w/TX to P12 as a block?

1-Wing RCAF

5/20/17 10:32am

for that to work, the PAC might have to go to 21 or 24 teams. PAC 12, B12 -8 +
