Pac 12 will not Expand past 12

Postby goldenstang » Tue Sep 20, 2011 10:12 pm

News is breaking right now on twitter. Will post a link once I find one.



PAC-12 AFFIRMS DECISION NOT TO EXPAND
WALNUT CREEK, Calif.-- In light of the widespread speculation about potential scenarios for Conference re-alignment, the Pac-12 Presidents and Chancellors have affirmed their decision to remain a 12-team conference. Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott said, “after careful review we have determined that it is in the best interests of our member institutions, student-athletes and fans to remain a 12-team conference. While we have great respect for all of the institutions that have contacted us, and certain expansion proposals were financially attractive, we have a strong conference structure and culture of equality that we are committed to preserve. With new landmark TV agreements and plans to launch our innovative television networks, we are going to focus solely on these great assets, our strong heritage and the bright future in front of us.””

It appears the Big12 will survive, even if A&M departs to SEC. So, the question posted weeks ago, who does Big12 add? One or three schools? Beebe is gone? Revenue distributed more fairly?

Not so fast, my friend. Rumors swirling that OU and OSU may be the 15th and 16th teams that will join the SEC, along with aTm and Mizzou.

Those are both on Oklahoma's list of conditions if they are to stay.

Reports are that Texas is blackballing TCU and they might go after Louisville and West Virginia-which could kill Big East leaving TCU out

I hope TCU and SMU can partner up in all of this. They're still miles ahead of us, but we're at least catching up somewhat. We could be a good pair worth owning in a good conference.

They will probably go to the MWC if Big East dissolves. Don't think they should but I bet they would
