texas would probably prefer A&M left for the SEC - since they want the PAC and it would allow them to scapegoat A&M for the destruction of the Big 12

Without TAMU, that conference looks very pathetic.

So if this shitty league they are trying to come up with on short notice falls through, they are headed to the Pac?


The reason I ask is because I wonder if SEC schools would really want aTm if they knew that the Pac was basically going to stay the same and there would be this new shitty SWC and the Big 10 would have only 12 teams? There would be no need to take on someone new, would there?

I wouldn't mind adding TAMU regardless of the current situations.

Bingo.

Slive will not make the first move and allow A&M to come to the SEC without the destruction of the Big 12 occuring first. He won't be the catalyst for the destruction of the Big 12 and the creation of the PAC16. He will wait and watch.

If it's a shitty Big 12 conference that results, that's fine by us.

I think the thinking is A&M adds enough to the pie to make a lot of sense financially no matter what else changes

There's no reason to think teh PAC lost interest or that Texas lost their desire to move to the PAC

I don't see where losing A&M has much of an impact on the PAC-10 deal. Everyone seemed perfectly happy discussing which team would replace A&M in the deal, Utah or Kansa. I think the only reason UT has started the save the Big-12 talk is because OU was going to go SEC rather than PAC-16. And that killed the PAC-16 deal.

Either way, I don't see this fairy tale working out. Snow White and the 7 dwarves are not going to create a conference with the evil queen and a bad apple.
