Utah to the Pac 10? MWC to get BCS game?

If BYU and/or TCU joins the Big 12...Boise State will look like the stupidest sons of bitches ever. They just left the WAC to be in the WAC-part 2. It's like going to a party expecting to have a good time, but everyone leaves once you get there.

Texas was going to the Pac-10 until the Big 12 gave them a better offer. Why do you think all of the sudden Utah is now being offered to join the Pac-10? This stuff has changed daily.

My point was, Texas to the PAC 10 was supposed to be a "lock". Several media sources (and subsequently, several posters on this very board) asserted such.

As I have been saying all along - I don't consider it legit until the ink is on the paper and hands have been shaken. Texas is a perfect example of what I'm talking about.

BTW - IMO, Texas was never going to the PAC 10. They wanted leverage, and they got it. They got a bigger share of the Big 12 revenue and they'll get their own TV outfit and all the money it makes. They didn't stand to gain enough just by defecting to the PAC 10.

So are they still being considered?

I realize you're probably mocking, but there are some BYU message board rumors still going that think BYU is in by June 30th(the deadline for '11 play). I don't read those boards too much because the format drives me nuts so I have no idea what they are basing that on. Who knows - it wouldn't seem that crazy since they have already acknowledged that they were looking at BYU previously. Although I can't imagine the Big 12 would really want Air Force to be the other team.
 
Why would you think I'm mocking? I think it would be a great move for the Big 12 to get both TCU and BYU. I also think it's a great move for the Pac 10 to add Utah. I would've liked to see the MWC remain the same with the addition of Boise, that would've been a pretty good conference but I like them moving too.

If Fox said they'll pay the same money and let them split it 10 ways, why the heck would they take BYU and Air Force and split the money 12 ways?

They extended their tv contract until 2016 with this new deal. Their old deal was set to expire at the same time as the Pac 10's, which is why they were looking at options (like the Pac 10). It was all about getting the best new tv contract. But they have that now, so they will not be making any changes unless it's something major that allows them to renogotiate their tv contract.

I could be wrong, but I would be totally shocked to see BYU added to the Big 12 by July. Whoever is spreading that rumor has to be a pretty delusional BYU homer.
