College Football Realignment

I think the B1G at the time was going to 12 because having 11 since Penn State was short of what they needed for forming divisions and adding a lucrative championship game. Not sure if it would have been on the table.

Pac-12 screwed up by not agreeing to buy LHN in order to snag UT.
I feel like being a CU fan in the Pac-10/12 would have been even more miserable with UT, OU, and OSU
 
This. The PAC could have had Texas, and the TV draw that comes with it. Oklahoma would have come along. It probably would have meant at the time bringing Okie Lite and one other Texas school along. Best bet there would have beenTech.

The LHN situation would have been dealt with by giving ESPN an equity stake in the PAC12 network.

Had that all happened we would probably be looking at a big 3 of power conferences with the PAC right behind the B1G and SEC in value, and way ahead of the B12 and ACC.

Texas was interested and OU would have gone with them. The interest was real.

But at least the Pac12 stood their ground and didn't let Texas in!

Well if the Pac12 had let Texas in then Larry Scott would have had to leave his cushy San Francisco office and spend some time each year in terrible places like Austin and Norman. Those places don't have a single restaurant with a decent wine list.

It's amazing how a single horrible hire changed the entire face of college football and college sports.

Not sure if joking, because I honesty can’t say what the oenophilial proclivities of Norman are.

1. I had to look the word up.

2. They think good wine comes from a box.

3. They don't even have good taste in beer much less wine.

I also don't think it would matter much. Never got the impression that Larry Scott was the sophisticate that he tried to pass himself off as, he just liked to be the center of attention and spend other people's money.

😆😆. Reason being - Austin is stacked with hoity-toity wine lists.

I’m assuming they are the polar opposite of Norman.
 
All these comments about CU and ADRG being happy with Yormark and the XII...

if he's being smart, he's 100% publicly -- and within XII circles -- being a team player and vocalizing support for our conference and the plans of expansion moves that would put the future XII on par with the P2... And, in parallel, working like hell to make CU athletics an expansion candidate for the B1G or SEC.
