So they can go for the trifecta?
Texas had no counter balance in the SWC or the Big 12

We don't need any more people in the PAC 12. Why take anyone at all.
because Larry Scott says the Pac won't stick at 12. that in the article and the title of the thread. i think most would be happy with the status quo in the Pac....but, that doesn't appear the way the future will take shape.

At least we have a vote now. UT can come in as long as they keep a level playing field.
I trust Larry Scott. I do not trust UT. I'd be very cautious of any arrangement that includes them.
OU? Nebraska?
I think we have a harder time recruiting against UT when we're in the same conference as them. I've made my feelings clear about that school. I want nothing to do with them in my conference.
Maybe I didn't phrase my comments correctly. Texas had no counter balance like that of the State of California in the SWC or Big 12.
We may not like it, but when the next conference realignment happens, and that's going to happen sooner rather than later, adding Texas to PAC-12 is a likely outcome.
You shut your dirty whore mouth this very second. I'm perfectly happy in a 12-school conference. CU and UT in the same conference is BAD for CU. It's BAD for the whole conference. BAD I say! BAD!!!!
then our AD needs to be in the ears of the other ADs in the conference explaining the true facts of tEXas to them. Make the ADs understand an perhaps they can influence the presidents.I agree with you 100%, but I'm worried that the dominoes are lining up that direction. And as someone who spends all day around these "classy" Whorn fans, I don't like it one bit.

And that's even before you get into the negligible media markets they are in. What would be the point of splitting the pie further for schools that bring no value? If the PAC is going to continue to expand, it's going to be for a HUGE school -- Texas or Notre Dame or the like. If some dregs (like Texas Tech) need to be taken to make it work, the presidents will probably hold their noses and do it, but not for anything other than a school that increases the revenue by a HUGE degree.
That doesn't mean we need to take UT. There's other schools that deserve a BCS bid more than UT deserves to ruin a third conference.You have to look at where major college football is going. There is a prevelent belief out there that, eventually, there will be four 16 team super conferences. Hell, the NCAA may cease to exist. These super conferences would form their own association. From there, it would be easy to have a sort of playoff system.I guess I shouldn't say "prevelent." I've heard guys like Gary Barnett say that he believes that is what is going to eventully happen.
Not really.That doesn't mean we need to take UT. There's other schools that deserve a BCS bid more than UT deserves to ruin a third conference.
Adding UT doesn't make sense under any circumstances. Haven't you people been paying attention?

If UT wants to join they will. I just hope they dont want to.
