    This is true for right now, and likely for the foreseeable future. For that matter UT cant shake Baylor either. If you have a 7 year time horizon though the politics can shake up a lot. Thats why OU is the lynch pin, but they aren't going anywhere either.

    Baylor is getting more and more shakeable...

    Pac-12 network revenue issues likely true... But cord cutters can still bring in $$$ (see NETFLIX, Hulu, HBO, etc etc etc) Larry Scott and co need to stop being stupid/stubborn and adapt to the market.

    Also the idea of any Pac-12 team bailing for another conference is hilarious.

    The bidding war between the SEC/B1G/P12/ACC for UT/OU in 2024 will be fun.

    I do love a nice PAC 12 night cap with a 10 or 11 PM EST kickoff, but heaven knows most of the rest of the east coast couldn't care less.

    Hopefully the Big 12 expands by 2 and takes Cincy because rumor is we are next in line for the AAC if they lose a team. :pray:

    Earlier today, Kansas State coach Bill Snyder said he knows there are two schools who want back into the Big 12. Which 2 are the question.

    Colorado and Nebraska? Missouri and Nebraska? Missouri and Colorado?

    Another option is to add comically far away schools from coast to coast and emphasize the absurdity of this whole fucking thing so that everyone just comes together under one umbrella and signs one big ass tv contract and go back to regional competition

    adding tcu was enough to dilute the talent pool in texas to critical levels let's not add a commuter college with zero fanbase to the mix
