Even at the highest levels I expect folks don’t know what they actually want in realignment other than more revenue. They’ll figure out the other justifications after they land where they land.

If you would of told me ten years ago, that we would be hinging realignment on the historic rivalry between Kansas State and Texas Tech Meats Judging teams, I would say I am very surprised, but happy for the sport.

Ummm....we are interviewing for the Pac.  I don't think meat judging is something we should be bringing up in the interview process. How is our crop judging team?

The PAC should take us simply on the basis that we have a cruise ship themed stadium.

Hey, an old friend I used to work with sent a ton of kids on to judge meats at TTU and KSU.  Unfortunately, his best went to TTU.  Including a kid that was key on a natty champ team.  If this is the difference between KSU making the cut or not, I may have to take a long trip just so I can kick him in the taint.

The only non-money thing that might actually matter in this is non-revenue sports. The Pac schools really seem to care about them for some reason. I could see that being an obvious reason for them to take an OSU over a KSU.

If non-revenue sports (all sports produce revenue, but I know what you're saying) mattered we'd be mumped. We are one of the few FBS schools with a minimum number of sports and our production is currently historically awful.

Is it too late for us to also request admission and try to sneak in just before the screen door slams shut?

Of all the conferences, the SEC has always been the most cautious about not wanting to appear that they poached schools. Similar charade with A&M and Mizzou.

I cannot confirm all of the details below and, therefore, I am not reporting the following. I want to be very clear about that. But you all subscribe to RRS in large part because you want an inside look at what is going on with Texas Tech athletics, and there's obviously a lot going on. This is an instance, and there will likely be more instances like this in the coming days and weeks, where I feel good enough about certain details lining up with what I've heard elsewhere to pass it along. Let's call it informed chatter.

I spoke with a long-time source with close ties to Oklahoma State today. Here's what he told me:

... Mike Holder, Oklahoma State's former athletic director, has been working with various individuals at Texas Tech with the objective of getting the Red Raiders and Cowboys into the Pac-12.

... Oklahoma State may have a chance at a Big Ten invitation.

... If Oklahoma State goes to the Pac-12 with Texas Tech, it would likely be as part of a foursome that includes Kansas and Kansas State.

... If Oklahoma State ends up in the Big Ten, then Texas Tech, TCU and two others would end up in the Pac-12.

... The source thinks that Oklahoma State wants to stay linked with Texas Tech but that only happens with the Pac-12.

... The reports that the Big Ten is considering USC is great news for Texas Tech and possibly Oklahoma State because Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff will want to keep USC happy and expansion into Texas does that.

... Nothing will happen until the SEC officially accepts Oklahoma and Texas as members, which could happen on Friday at some point. That will get the ball rolling.

see you at Sugarfish for sush brahs

Oklahoma State with a Big 10 invitation? Y'all! Come on, really? Pfft. This is all too much. Oklahoma State, Big 10, my god

Agreed. I saw that and immediately started chuckling. 0% chance OSU goes big 10

I used to think maybe KU would have had a decent shot at the Big 10 in an OU/KU combo. But I don't think the B10 will be interested in any other leftover schools...like at all. And if they're going to try and snag an ACC school, they'll try for more than 1.
I once blew clove smoke in a guy's face that cut in front of me in the line to KJ's.

KU fans are the only ones thinking they're going to the Big 10. No one from the Big 10 thinks they'll add KU. Is it possible, yes; likely though, no.

KU should shutter their fball program, go private and join the Big East.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

KU would make a lot more sense for the Big 10 than Rutgers. Rutgers didn't make any sense at all, though.

It was about TV sets last go around. Big 10 convinced themselves that New Jersey & the NE was going HAM to watch themselves some Rutgers.
