    ESPN in Austin

    is reporting that Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State will join the PAC10.

    Did not say when the "official" announcement will come.

    On a side note, Missouri is saying that they are committed to the Big 12.

    They say A&M is still pondering its options.

    The other schools are tired of waiting.

    There's a rule about calling a regents meeting...they have to give so much notice. The regents should meet on Tuesday and make everything final. My guess is, by that time, A&M will have made a decision.

    Then, the Big 10 will either expand or stand pat...

    Then, the "left-overs" will be competed for...

    Then, the BE will act...

    Then, the non-AQs will react to what the big boys did.

    We've got a long way to go. I'm tired already.

    Exactly.... We should hear about our options in about 2 weeks. Next week will all be AQ actions. Now, CUSA could play a major part in competing for some of the AQ. However, depending on what the Big East does, the B12 leftovers might not be interested in CUSA.

    CUSA should act fast, though. Invite left over B12 (including Baylor) and beef it up by inviting TCU, Tech, and a couple more.

    I think Tech should proactively announce they've accepted an offer from the Big XII! LOL

    Missouri's commitment to the Big 12 is like my dog humping a stuffed toy.

    No, the MWC will gobble up the B12 leftovers except for Baylor maybe. Tech doesn't want the leftovers in CUSA, that will drastically hurt our chances of getting in.

    The big prize in the Big 12 leftovers is Kansas. They can go either with PAC1? If A&M balks ACC if the SEC gets raided. They could also be the bulkhead of a new conference with us being in the mix

    If the Big XII does start to fall apart, let's ask the Big XII commissioner to invite us immediately. Then we are in a AQ league, then let's start start rebuilding the Big XII to 12 members, first by asking Boise State. I am sure we can fill up the Big XII to 12 FB teams. It would be attractive to any non-BCS AQ shcool. Perhaps Utah would like to join. If Kansas gets left out, then they can stay. Maybe Memphis, Hawaii, Fresno, Nevada, Houston, SMU, Tulsa, UTEP would all be for being a part of this conference. I am sure there would be plenty of schools wanting to get in.

    Translation = Missouri hasn't been invited to join a more prestigious conference yet and has no other place to go.

    Exactly what their Commish should be trying to do and to save the AQ status, even if it is just a few left overs and a bunch of non-AQ growing programs.
