If we expand, it isn't going to be for opening up new territory... But it would likely be to co-opt the few football schools in the ACC and completely dominate the region.
We're on ESPN, we don't have to worry about new markets... and anyone who wants Texas for recruiting needs to realize those kids almost never leave the state.
Why do we need anybody? We shouldn't change just for the sake of change. If we could get Texas then Slive would be crazy not to but otherwise don't add teams just because everybody else is. We have the best TV deal. We have the best teams. We have the best players and coaches and traditions. The Pac-10 needs teams to avoid irrelevance. The Big 10 needs to expand their footprint for the Big 10 network. We have billions guaranteed from ESPN and CBS for the next 15 years. No knee jerk reactions please!
That was yesterday's rumor though. You'd think they would have jumped when CO jumped if that were going to hold true since it was a package deal. CO was supposed to be battling Baylor for the last team - not the first team.
Bio Write for Orangebloods.com; do radio on 104.9 FM ESPN Radio 1-4 p.m. CT (espnaustin.com); and appear on News 8 Austin during the week ... and love my kids.
Just pointing out he has not been any more accurate than anyone else. He needs TX and aTm to goto the Pac 10 so that his original scoop can be salvaged.
golfballs is absolutely correct on this. :good!: The Texas-Oklahoma rivalry goes back to 1900 & is the big game played in Dallas every year. No way they will go to different conferences.
