Pac-16 not done deal. Stories are a little bit ahead. Remains unclear if Pac-12 presidents want to expand.

Pac-12 officials are engaged in "active discussions" with Texas and Oklahoma about how to make the Big 12 schools' addition to the conference work, a source within the Big 12 confirmed to ESPN.com's Joe Schad.

Told Pitt's ACC announcement floored everyone at OU, and that it was the dagger for those still working to keep the Big12 together.

WHERE DOES THIS STUPID crap COME FROME

OU.  I posted earlier that Berry Tramel said that on OU's list was Pitt and WVU.  I mean, jfc.  OU had no interest in BYU, apparently.  But there were reports that Pitt and UL were close to committing to the Big 12 until Boren made his comments.  whole thing doesn't make sense. 

still think OU is "bluffing"?  jfc.  rusty.

I still think it's far from a done deal.

i mean, this probably goes in the "gpc thread of the day" but if this is in any way accurate, holy f'ing christ.  I suppose if/when MU leaves we'll just add SE Missouri ST in order to capture the Missouri market......

is what I'm hearing. Replacements for the five teams leaving:

TCU, SMU, Houston, Tulsa, And Air Force.

What i'm hearing is that in order to keep present contracts with the Big 12 we must reach 10 teams. Remaining teams feel the logistics of these teams is a continuation of the Big12 brand. Will be keeping the states the same plus adding Colorado.

Really, so OU is "floored" after they come out and basically say they're talking to everybody and anybody . . . so they thought schools like Pitt were just going to sit on their ass and wait and see what OU and their "he needs to be punched in the mouth" president decide they're going to do?

I am with Rusty . . . who makes this $hit up?


it is just one more way for a school to distance themselves from the decisions that they are making. "we totally were still maybe going to stay in big12, but then the acc did what they did and jesus. i mean it just wasn't possible for us to stay after that."

texas certainly and now ou don't want to be seen as the bad guys and are going to spin at every opportunity possible.

ew2x4 would appreciate it if you would only deal with facts not speculation of what you think might be going on. TIA

Nothing wrong with speculation. Conspiracy theories stated as facts are frowned upon. Read harder. thx.

is ou and texas using reporters to make it appear they were blindsided by pitts move to the ACC in attempts to NOT be implicated as the catalyst for conference change a consipracy of sorts?  TIA

It's a little more believable than the post I initially criticized. I still don't believe blame is a factor at this point, though.

To avoid confusing ew2x4 in the future, please be sure to clearly label your posts in this thread with an all-caps disclaimer at the beginning of each post which clearly states which category your post belongs under:

*  EDUCATED GUESS
*  PURE SPECULATION
*  SYNTHESIS OF EXISTING THEORIES
*  TWITTER REPOST
*  TEXT FROM COUSIN IN SEC COUNTRY
*  CONSPIRACY THEORY
*  COMPLAINT ABOUT POST IN THIS THREAD
*  FREAK OUT

Thanks for your help, everybody.

Should be an interesting day tomorrow.

My in-laws were at an insidery Okie State event last Friday - athletic director told them that they were going to be traveling out west a lot more soon and to keep it hush hush. Also said he has no idea what Texas is doing and that OU and OSU don't care.

not that it even matters anymore...

i absolutely think something like this is being considered. i mean can you just even the imagine the phone convo between currie and zenger and then zenger is all "hey why don't we get pollard on three way. ok hold on, don't hang up. i'll pretend like it's just me and then halfway through you can be all like boo! gotcha! ha ha".
