I will take this with several grains of salt but Dave Wannstedt said he heard this at the Fox meetings.  Starts at about the 3:40 mark.

I can see leaving out TCU and Baylor, but why would the Pac12 take OSU, KSU and not Tech?

I assumed that Tech and somebody else would be part of the deal but he was just talking off the cuff and left them out.  It would be very very strange for the PAC to expand and then not expand into Texas if they could.

My first thought is if you're taking OSU & KSU, then you're also grabbing Tech and maybe Houston round out to 16. That's a solid eastern division that splits the state of Texas and Oklahoma with the SEC.

TCU likely gets left in the dark, and Baylor can go eff itself.

I’m 98% sure this whole thing Dave wanstedt crap is Greg swaim type wrong but I can at least envision a scenario where tech is working with the other Texas school and known huge emaw stud and current osu athletic director Chad Weinberg quietly worked with kstate to try and find a place.

My word, there is so much hate for us on the phog right now.

Edit: I'm actually seeing more anti-KSU posts on there this past week than I have for any of the times we play them in athletics.

There's no decision to make. They'll say they have no present intent to expand but will always appraise any future opportunity that might benefit its member institutions.

People who say Manhattan, KS is in the middle of nowhere have obviously never been to Lubbock, TX...because that place is in the middle of frigging nowhere.  It's surrounded by 5 hours of desert.

Texas desert.  The biggest/bestest desert.

It's literally every other or every 3rd post, and I'm not copying and pasting that much.

To summarize though, they're head and shoulders above all schools left and have just about punched their ticket to the big 10. Iowa State is likely to join them, but the big 10 may take KU without them anyways.

OSU and Tech are a distant 2nd/3rd.

TCU is in desperation mode.

KSU and Baylor are borderline dropping to D3.


Craziest part is that I'm not really exaggerating with any of that. It's what they're honestly saying.

Here's a taste

The Oklahoma State board thinks they are head and shoulders above any of the other seven. You know OSU that has a smaller TV market, not blue blood in football OR basketball, no med school, no AAU status.....

Quote
Quote
My cousin is going through a divorce from an OSU grad. And his false sense of himself is a big reason for their split.

Quote
I just think it is funny they think they are superior to the other seven.


Quote
I have been told several times by many solid sources that the likelihood of PAC expanding is very very slim.

Quote
That is probably why KSU is really wanting to add schools to the Big XII and get the other seven to commit. They know they aren't going any where.



Oh, and there are plans to completely redo the stadium now in the works... bowl game within 5 years.



Guys, I'm not joking.

My A+ sources are telling me that the PAC already invited us and we already thanked them for their generous offer and respectfully declined.

We've chosen to stay put for now. Good decision imo.

It's pretty likely that both big 10 and pak invites the cats, who do we choose?

Personally I can't imagine a more boring football existence than being in the big 10 so I'm pak all day.

I would watch when we play Ohio State or Michigan in the big 10, but I just can't get excited about the rest of that league, and we probably would get stuck on in the losers division. Hopefully we have the foresight to turn their offer down.

If the topic of conversation is how to grow and maintain a glorious mustache I'll listen to what Dave Wannstedt has to say.  For conference realignment insidery stuff, maybe not so much.

KU going to the Big Ten would very much be the kind of validation they seem to be in need of. I would be totally happy for them if it happened.

That's a lot of moving pieces and COLUSION to completely keep quiet on. Also the ACC just gonna sit on 15 football teams?
