NYTimes: Key Player in Pac-12 (Big 12)

"The Key Player in the Pac-12’s Expansion Outlook: It’s Texas, Again"

Congratulations, UT. Unless you convince Oklahoma that the two of you need to show leadership and keep a college conference centered in the Lone Star and Great Plains states, Texas and the SW will be without a BCS conference. Can you imagine the regret that the teams will be divided between PAC 12, SEC and Big East? Amazing that Texas and OK will be ornaments on someone's tree. Not to mention that this East and West coast conference will now recruit Texas as never before. You can survive the losses of NE, CO and A&M and still flournish with a carefully expanded Big 12. Oklahoma? I don't think so.

funny thing is, ESPN is causing all of this. Now, they have a contract with Fox and Pac 12 - so how does Pac 12 react to Texas having their own network?

what a mess, ESPN has too much control over college fball.
