Nzoner's Game Room>New Conference re-alignment thread
Saulbadguy 07:57 AM 09-12-2011
The old one has AIDS.

Anyways, Chip Brown from Orangebloods.com reports OU may apply to the Pac-12 by the end of the month.

Oklahoma will apply for membership to the Pac-12 before the end of the month, and Oklahoma State is expected to follow suit, a source close to OU's administration told Orangebloods.com.

Even though Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott said Friday the Pac-12 was not interested in expansion at this time, OU's board of regents is fed up with the instability in the Big 12, the source said.

The OU board of regents will meet within two weeks to formalize plans to apply for membership to the Pac-12, the source said.

Messages left Sunday night with OU athletic director Joe Castiglione and Oklahoma State athletic director Mike Holder were not immediately returned.

If OU follows through with what appears to be a unanimous sentiment on the seven-member Oklahoma board of regents to leave the Big 12, realignment in college athletics could be heating back up. OU's application would be matched by an application from Oklahoma State, the source said, even though OSU president Burns Hargis and mega-booster Boone Pickens both voiced their support for the Big 12 last Thursday.

There is differing sentiment about if the Pac-12 presidents and chancellors are ready to expand again after bringing in Colorado and Utah last year and landing $3 billion TV contracts from Fox and ESPN. Colorado president Bruce Benson told reporters last week CU would be opposed to any expansion that might bring about east and west divisions in the Pac-12.

Currently, there are north and south divisions in the Pac-12. If OU and OSU were to join, Larry Scott would have to get creative.

Scott's orginal plan last summer was to bring in Colorado, Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State and put them in an eastern division with Arizona and Arizona State. The old Pac-8 schools (USC, UCLA, Cal, Stanford, Oregon, Oregon State, Washington and Washington State) were to be in the west division.

Colorado made the move in June 2010, but when Texas A&M was not on board to go west, the Big 12 came back together with the help of its television partners (ABC/ESPN and Fox).

If Oklahoma and Oklahoma State were accepted into the Pac-12, there would undoubtedly be a hope by Larry Scott that Texas would join the league. But Texas sources have indicated UT is determined to hang onto the Longhorn Network, which would not be permissible in the Pac-12 in its current form.

Texas sources continue to indicate to Orangebloods.com that if the Big 12 falls apart, the Longhorns would consider "all options."

Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe held an emergency conference call 10 days ago with league presidents excluding Oklahoma, Texas and Texas A&M and asked the other league presidents to "work on Texas" because Beebe didn't think the Pac-12 would take Oklahoma without Texas.

Now, it appears OU is willing to take its chances with the Pac-12 with or without Texas.

There seemed to be a temporary pause in any possible shifting of the college athletics' landscape when Baylor led a charge to tie up Texas A&M's move to the Southeastern Conference in legal red tape. BU refused to waive its right to sue the SEC over A&M's departure from the Big 12, and the SEC said it would not admit Texas A&M until it had been cleared of any potential lawsuits.

Baylor, Kansas and Iowa State have indicated they will not waive their right to sue the SEC.

It's unclear if an application by OU to the Pac-12 would draw the same threats of litigation against the Pac-12 from those Big 12 schools.

Stay tuned.

They're taking extra time to see if KU's football program improves and if they re-commit to upgrading the stadium.


And let everyone chill out a year

CBS reporting the Big 3.0 will get 20-25M per on their tv deal. That’s about the $30M the PAC and ACC get so monetarily there’s not any incentive to move there for any of the schools. BIG is 54M but there’s no evidence they’re making any moves.

Seems like fan fiction.

Nobody is going to give a dime to that project unless there’s a BIG offer first.

The conferences are going to all be destroyed because of the new P2W aspect of College football. Money college will probably end up creating their own league.

Division 1 will probably end up with half as many colleges as it has now. KU doesn't have the money to compete with big money colleges. The ivy league will get better and better since recruiter will now be auction day. Highest bidder win the most talent.

Eh. The Ivy league donors probably don't care that much about football. Cal and Stanford should be powerhouses but they aren't because the donors to the athletic department favor Olympic sports over football and basketball.

The Alumni are really that apathetic? Wow, they could absolutely dominate if they wanted. Colleges like Duke should be great too.

Traditional power schools like Nebraska are going to take it in the shorts imo. They just don't have enough rich alumi.

I think that colleges might start dropping a bunch of sports that don't make them money too. Title IX makes them keep some girls sports. So Basketball for Guys and Girls. Football for guys, gymnastic for girls. The rest could get dumped. Would girl's volleyball bring in more money than gymnastics? I have no idea if either makes any money.

Basketball schools will consolidate into a basketball only conference to save money.
