I also think getting the first jump will have a big impact. Once someone flinches, everyone will be forced to act, including the Big 12. If the Big 12 does get broken up and Texas makes a move, I'd much rather have Texas than Rutgers. The Big Ten has enough trouble justifying themselves in the eyes of the media. Bringing Texas into the mix would help take care of that problem. Pittsburgh...not so much. As the prettiest girl without a date, Texas is in a very powerful position.

What happens to Baylor , K St, Kansas, Nebraska, and etc. There other quality programs in the Big Twelve. I also understand the Big Twelve is having their annual meeting as we speak to decide their fate. I don't see a Pac 10- Big Twelve merger, because no one has thought about the travel involved, flying halfway across the country to play football isn't too appealing. Travel would be much easier to the Big Ten schools. I don't see any mergers or teams switching conferences for at least a couple of years. Remember schools schedule 2 to 3 years in advance. Nice to be talking college football again. Tony in Beaverton all these new teams to the Pac 10 would really put you at the bottom of the heap.

The Rivals article also stated that Texas wouldn't mind staying in the Big 12 and do a television alliance with the Pac-10. The problem in all of this is the Big 12 is not all on the same page as seen from the meetings in KC, and it could be interesting going forward. Clearly the north teams in the Big 12 feel slighted due to the unbalanced television money and conference title game in Dallas every year. So there's a lot to work out there. The Pac-10 looks like they are going to beat the Big-Ten to the punch though. Texas is in a position where they hold all of the cards.

If the Pac 10 gets Texas over the Big Ten because Tech isn't part of the AAU, I will definitely vomit. All I can say is, if the Pac 10 gets Texas over the Big Ten, I might vomit.
