but only if one of them was Texas. But now, a decade later and TT seemingly in decline athletically speaking, the PAC will settle for just TT?

Barely edging out UTEP?

I legitimately think I’m going to win the lottery when I buy a ticket.

Once it settles in to these places that they don't have options it will get ugly

Probably the same thing as in 2011/2016 with BYU fans to the Big12

It does make sense. Of course, Texas and Oklahoma were the PAC's best option

Why? What does that do for the PAC?

It's big for exposure and $$. The PAC gets 12pm ET kickoffs and a footprint

Need more details. Please explain where the extra money comes from.

With kickoffs from 12pm ET to 10pm ET, there's at least one extra

Why can't a Utah or Colorado game start at 10:00 then?

I don't think 1 extra time slot brings more money than splitting the pie more.

The 12pm ET exposure has value, even if there isn't extra $$ after splitting

Exposure only matters if it brings in more $$$.

You don't think Texas and Oklahoma would bring prestige, respect, and $$ ?
