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

Harrison0Yfan

5/19/17 8:13pm

With out the lhn Texas makes more than any pac team

travelcoug

5/19/17 8:18pm

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.

IceCreamButt

5/19/17 8:42pm

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

CougarCanuck76

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 +
