Title: Source: Texas, OU in active Pac-12 talks Post by: 2Stater on September 19, 2011, 11:48:37 AM http://espn.go.com/college-sports/story/_/id/6989288/pac-12-working-deal-texas-oklahoma-oklahoma-state-texas-tech-according-source
Quote Earlier, The Austin American-Statesman reported the Pac-12 was working out final details to add Texas and Oklahoma to the conference, along with fellow Big 12 schools Oklahoma State and Texas Tech. The Statesman cited a source close to the situation that stressed the deal is not yet complete, but that talks were "heating up." :deadhorse: What is the over/under for days of the week that don't have breaking news about conference realignment?

Pac-12 expansion: The latest on Texas, revenue sharing and 16-team division alignment Quote Talked to several sources this weekend about Texas joining the Pac-12 and the future of the Longhorn Network. Let’s get right to it. *** Texas-to-the-Pac is not happening in the next 24 or 36 hours, folks. It could be a week, or weeks. There are far too many issues still to be worked out, many of them involving UT’s ultimate willingness to make the concessions necessary to join the Pac-12. Despite what you may have read, the school and the conference are “nowhere near any agreement,” according to one source. *** The Austin-American Statesman reported that Texas could join the Pac-12 and keep the Longhorn Network, essentially with its own revenue model: That is, at its very best, misleading. For one thing, the Longhorn Network would have to be folded into the Pac-12 regional model — it wouldn’t exist as a separate entity. What’s more, there is no chance that any school will have more than 1/16th of the revenue, whether it comes from the conference’s first, second or third-tier rights. NO CHANCE. |
