Holy running power conference. Colorado already in. Gonna be tough to go all conference there!

Only football and basketball (m & w) are affected. The Oly sports can remain but will likely join the West Hollywood TV Consortium.
Add Texas Tech to that short list.
More moula for all in the PAC16 given it will eliminate the middle man by setting up their own TV network from West L.A. outside of the legacy TV networks.
It's all about money baby. That said, it's going to be one nasty ass conference. Take the two states with the biggest populations (TX/CA) and throw them in the same conference. This is going to be a wild ride in most sports.
Football is going to be fun to watch. Okie, Tejas and the entire old school PAC 10 is doing to dish out a lot of pain.
What is this conference going to be called anyway? I hope it ain't sticking with PAC 16.
It will stretch basically from Houston to LA to Seatlle and back through Denver. A big gigantic triangle which covers almost half the f-ing country! Call it the Big Ass Conference, the Big Ass 16, the Western States 16, the Uh Oh This Was A Bad Idea Because Look At Our Travel Budget Now Conference.
I hope A&M gives them the finger and comes on over to the SEC. HOLY SHIT think about adding A&M's track team to the SEC?!?!?!?! And if Oklahoma comes too, think about SEC football. Screw the Big Ass PAC, if those come to the SEC, which could very well happen, the SEC will run the whole damn show!!!!
@Stache.
Half the country, you don't say? Ever hear of Alaska? How about the Midwest? Maybe the East-Coast? No?
You must have slept through geography class, or you have a terrible sense of distances and size. Remember, sizes matters.
OH NO, I wasn't precise in my facetious post!!!!
Look, another letsrun poster looking for nothing more than to bash another poster over minutiae.
it's a dream for any enterprise to have an open door, a grand canyon sized portal to the Hollywood TV networks. look at the media empires that Hollywood TV has created. AM/TX/TT/OK/OS can't pass up this gift from the heavens. CU just cashed in.

Your geography test score = F. Excuses are of no use. Sorry, F.
This is an unbelieveable / unexpected chance to the big times for the Texas and Oklahoma states schools that have been invited. The University of Colorado at Boulder leaped at the money. It took them a week to read the PDF and then they immediately signed. The offer is to join the Top 4 NCAA Athletic programs in the nation, to start of an exodus from the NCAA, and to begin the genesis of a new TV network with a genuine football playoffs brackets.
If USATF could get an invite to join a TV network media consortium like that they would be stupid not to take it.
To bad track isn't a money generating sport, It's all about money and football makes money. If a&m goes to the SEC, think about how much they will struggle in football. If they thought only 2 Big12 conference wins was hard, try NONE in the SEC.

im sure they can compete with kentucky and vanderbilt. Saying no wins just shows how stupid you are.
