Chip Bown Tweeting that TT, OU, OSU, and UT to Pac 10

Whether this is true or not remains to be seen. The question it raises, if Texas A&M doesn't come along, who fills that void? Baylor, Kansas or maybe Utah? Say it's Utah?



I have to ask, does Utah really want to be in the same division as OU, TT, OSU and Texas? Not that TT and OSU are powerhouses, but they're no slouches either. To face teams like that in potentially consecutive weeks would be brutal.



They could find themselves fighting for the Pac east doormat for years to come. Them leaving may not be such a bad idea. :evil:

Kansas is working on a Pac 10 invite and thinks their hoops could drive the bus with the others.

A highly-placed official from a Big 12 school confirmed Friday that Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State will join the Pac-10 Conference once formal offers are made to them, but said that Texas A&M officials remain on the fence between joining the Pac-10 or the SEC.



“The decision has been made,” the official told the American-Statesman. “We’re bringing everybody to the Pac-10 but A&M.”



The official said the Aggies have a 72-hour timetable to decide whether to accept the Pac-10’s offer. The official also said those formal offers could be made over the weekend.



The Texas board of regents have called an 11 a.m. meeting next Tuesday, and a formal announcement is expected later that day. Regents at Texas Tech also will meet on Tuesday, at 2 p.m.

One could look to the Arkansas move to the SEC back in the early 90's. They have a good season here and there, but nothing consistent enough to be proud of.

Chip has been all over the place.... he's simply tweeting the most and getting a lot of attention. I do think that the Austin Statesma hs a ton more credibility and they're saying the same thing now.

118-88 (2 ties), Three divisional championships, no conference championships, 3-7 bowl record in the 18 years they've been a part of the SEC



BYU in the same time frame?



150-75, eight conference championships, 5-7 bowl record

Seriously though, it wouldn't surprise me if Chip's "source" was a higher-up in the UT organization, releasing info to Chip and pulling his strings (he's a puppet) to control how things are going on in the expansion landscape. Only problem seems to be, as yet no one is buying it.



I still don't think the Big XII South joins the Pac-x. It just doesn't make much sense no matter how you look at it.

Exactly. It all goes back to orangebloods.com. Chip is THE source for all of this. If he is wrong, the house of cards falls. But if he is right, Tuesday will be a huge day. I hope he is being played like a fiddle.

Texas will either stay in the B12 or go to the P10, no other option makes any sense at all. The SEC is locked into a TV contract, already has tons of competition, and are all low-tier schools for academics, something UT cares about.



The Big10 is simply too far away, UT would be an outpost school and they don't want to do that. They are closer geography wise to the P10, than they are to the SEC or B10. And quite honestly, Austin is closer culturally to the Pac10 than the SEC.



My bet is Texas and the other four either stay in the Big 12 or they join the PAC 16, there is really no other option unless they side with their own ego and go Independent like Notre Dame LOL.
