[QUOTE="Mescalero, post: 5146221, member: 21439"] Interesting. Was going to post the same, but you beat me to it. I agree that we are headed to 4 "super conferences" and the NCAA will oversee the olympic sports, except not basketball. Back when the last round of conference expansion occurred, rumors were that Oklahoma and Texas were looking at the Big Ten. However, I read at that time that under both Oklahoma and Texas state law, Oklahoma is tied to Okie State and Texas is tied to Texas Tech. You take one, you have to take the other. Maybe that wasn't true. In any event, state law can be changed. Regardless, only Texas would have qualified to be a member university of the Big Ten. I wonder what aTm thinks about this? They aren't happy if this is true. The big issue for the Big 12 (and why aTm, Missouri, Colorado left) is the Longhorn Network. That media rights contract runs out in 4 years so this is probably that far away. The SEC Network and the Longhorn Network will not co-exist, which is why there is no Big 12 Network. [/QUOTE]
