I saw this today on Yahoo Sports.

Adding Texas, Texas AM, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Oklahoma St and Colorado to create the Pac 16.

Think this will happen or not? All about the TV $$$$$ in my opinion.

It will happen in some form or another and Boise State will get invited to the MWC this weekend as well...it would be a crime for ASU to not be able to beat up on UW each year under the new format, other than that it sounds good:)

Texasssss and Oklahomo in the PACIFIC-10 Conference?

What's next..............Stanford in the Middle Atlantic conference?

i have been told the reason boise st. will not get in is that their stadium is not big enough

Was thinking along the same lines as you here.

What about adding Fresno St, Boise St, Nevada, Utah, Utah St and BYU?

The quality of the football matchups would be phenomenal, and the basketball would be pretty fair as well, but I agree that some of the non-BCS teams from this region that have been on the outside looking in for too long (BYU, Utah, and Boise St. come to mind most immediately) should get the call first. Just seems to make more sense, especially from a geographic standpoint.

It does appear that the Big 12 may be getting broken up, but if that happens, I would rather see a return to the old Southwest Conference, plus Oklahoma and OK State, in that region. Send the 6 teams from the Big 12 North to the Big 10. That would improve both conferences, in my mind.

Pac 11 so far.....Colorado just accepted their invitation to join.

Please don't bring in any Texasss or Oklahoma teams.

Idaho Vandals welcome. And with USC getting their pee pees slapped, it's time for my Wazuu to get some.

GO COUGS!!

SC could lose all their schollies and they aren't going to lose to the Coogers.

Check out the keg banner at the 4 min mark as they come out of the tunnel. I guess that's why we can't call it Wazzu anymore. This was our freshman video. I miss the old option offense including the rump turn option.

Old Wazzu

the reason that alot of the mid-major schools aren't invited to the pac-10 or any other BCS conference is academics...that includes pretty much every one that was listed

I agree with mreyns.
For those who wanted Boise St in the Pac 10, it isn't going to happen. Wasn't a good fit and they just accepted an invitation to join the Mountain West.

From a pure fan standpoint. I think it is great. I could get to drive to Seattle to watch Texas and/or Oklahoma every 4 years? I'm loving that.

Heading into these larger mega-conferences is the first step to getting the BCS to be a playoffs like everyone wants to see.

Hank,
Yes, Colorado joined up yesterday. Now they are trying to figure out how to pay the $9 million penalty for leaving the Big 12. Perhaps if the conference dissolves, that won't be an issue.

Good news is the Cougar football would no longer be ranked 10th in the Pac 10, the bad news is though they'll now be ranked 16th!

Don't worry Chuck, they'll still be room at the bottom of the barrell for the Dawgs.

Looks like a mini expansion with Texas backing out...they say Utah but I would like to see them go after Notre Dame.

Notre Lame? Seriously? Where's Richard SImmons when you need him...

Nice...
