I meant they could get an invite to the Pac 10. They could've screwed themselves big time by inviting Colorado over Baylor. If Texas says no now, they are at 11 and need to find replacements. Do they go to 12 and call it a day? Do they take Oklahoma and OK State and find 3 more schools (most obvious would be Kansas, Kansas State, and Utah). Or do they sit at 11 and wait to find better solution in the future?
Well, if the Texas legislature situation is truly a problem, its away to keep the politicians off their backs and still make a whole lot of money. I have to think the contract the SEC can make with that 16 team lineup would be incredible. Plus Texas gets to continue their separate marketing efforts.
I think it improves the odds of us getting into an improved conference situation too.
All this stuff is interesting but all any of us are really concerned with is what happens to us. I'm past being ready for this phase to get settled so we can get our deal done.
Well from what they said on College football live last week. Pac 10 has 4 different plans.
A complete merger with Big 12.(All schools)
The 6 teams mentioned
Staying Put
Utah and Colorado*
* Colorado has happened so if the other 5 dont jump can we assume they will just go get Utah? However this stuff has been very very fluid. Whats up is down whats black is white AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Here is the ESPN post on Colorado leaving:

Rick Perry has asked the four Texas schools to meet to see how they could stay together. That explains the reason for the meeting.
