Two reports from the Pac-10 and Big Ten, regarding the potential destruction of the Big 12, which are somewhat conflicting:
The Pac-10 meets this weekend in San Francisco, and will reportedly discuss inviting 6 of the Big 12 teams to join them in a huge expansion of their league. The teams are allegedly Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, and Colorado . . . none of which will ever be "Pacific Coast" schools, even after The Big One eventually strikes.
Ohio State president Gordon Gee has advised Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany by e-mail that he has spoken with University of Texas president Bill Powers about leaving the Big 12 to enter the Big Ten conference.
So, the Big 12 may be gutted by the Pac-10, the Big East by the Big Ten, and Texas may be in two . . . or would that be three? . . . different conferencs next season. Well, we've always heard they do things big in Texas.
