It’s an interesting situation. He’s not wrong about the institution

But all the money comes from the opposite -
Conservative leaning, football focused, donors/grads/governors who fit the SEC.

Cowherd's take on Texas was that they institutionally belong in the PAC12

Definitely. I do wonder if the state legislature would want to associate with

Having a team in the PAC12 and one in the SEC would be their best political move

Didnt they blacklist the state that provides them with much of their electricity

The PAC can’t pay enough

Nat Gas Man

The money is basically the same in the two conferences

But $60M in the SEC is an open and shut case

Agreed, the SEC/BIG10 are in a tier of their own above the other P5 conferences

krindorr

7/23/21 10:57am

No it is not

I'd wager Texas/Oklahoma is enough to swing that $4M/yr difference

krindorr

7/23/21 10:59am

But Texas and OU want top tier money

hdx57

7/23/21 2:21pm

Oh agree, SEC is much better choice than PAC; never doubted that

krindorr

You keep trying to make the case that P12 remains nationally relevant after this

I’m not sure PAC 12 helps in recruiting, though.

Because they're soft and insecure?

Pointless take. They aren’t looking for a pay cut to a league with a terrible tv

But the PAC12 would want them more than the SEC. Gives them leverage for more $

PAC has a new leader that can drop this PAC12TV failure and go to ESPN, NBC=$$$$

The unequal share is the only thing keeping them Big12 over PAC12

krindorr

PAC12 has spent the last decade making themselves increasingly irrelevant.

This is how a bad leader can ruin things for decades

True, won't matter. Presidents do what they are gonna do.

NO ONE east of Denver wants to be in the PAC. You are in "TV" purgatory.

TrueBlue67

Geographically it is a really bad fit. And for TV time slots even worse. But otherwise, I think he is right.

Cowherd still thinks the PAC12 is relevant.

His point about Austin is true. But the UT footprint stretches far, far wider

shoganai

7/23/21 9:44am

Right now the PAC12 is desperately hoping the SEC votes against Texas/Oklahoma

krindorr

7/23/21 10:16am

I think people are forgetting that the PAC 12 shut it all down last year
