I'm not sure how relevant this article is since it was written in 2007.

ESPN reports the Big 12 schools not being currently courted by either the Pac 10 or SEC have started meetings to try to keep the Big 12 alive as a ten school league. Apparently aTm and OU are at least weighing this as an option. Who knows what Texas and it's lackies are thinking.

OrangeBloods and Oklahoma site reporting that Big 12 is going after Arkansas. IMO, they can have them. And it actually makes sense.

i think texas doesn't want to be seen as the school that blew em up. i'd be very suprised ot seeh them stay in the big-12. beebe's proposal doesn't seem to make much sense.

But, it wouldn't make sense economically for the Pigs, and that is what this is all about.

ESPN now says an announcement by Texas, Texas tech, OU and OSU to go to Pac 10 is eminent. Texas A&m to go to SEC.

They will never have the same clout they have now when they join a real conference. A&M pulled an uncounted ace and a pair on themover the weekend. They never thought that would happen. I would like to see Tejas in the PAC-10 because of the up roar they would cause.

Tejas does not want a level playing field or they would have joined the SEC 18 years ago.

Come on droski, the SEC is like America. We kick butt and rule the world and let everybody know it.

there are multiple very good reasons why texas would prefer the pac-10 to the sec and none of them are texas being afraid to complete. winning the pac-16 will be no easy feat.

Come on now. No easy feat? Depends on what your definition of easy feat probably is. Just who would be the PAC 10 competition be, with USC biting the bullet for awhile and with Texas able to recruit their own populus state as they historically have, getting arguably better quality players than the Oregons. OSUs, Stanfords, Cals, Arizonas and other perennial PAC weaklings of past years? Texas probably has weighed those odds and calculated that they have a better chance, or at least as good a chance, of winning the non-west coast division of a future PAC as they have now in the small 12. Plus arguably better media exposure. You are right that fear of competition doesn't bother Texas in the PAC. That (historically weak) competition enhances their desire to be in the PAC.

it has far more to do with academics, culture, and location.

Location, probably, academics, maybe, culture? Not exactly. California/west coast culture is very different from Texas. Although Austin itself might be similar, most of Texas wouldn't be, having lived there.
