Not to mention the great tailgating and the best football money can buy. Great rivalries with arky and LSU plus Bama and Auburn would develop and there much closer. Only downfall is if they had to bring okie st. with them. But if theyre forced to drag them along,then the Pac 10 it probably will be.

OSU was no where to be found in the article. Where do you get your facts from?
Welcome to the new Southwest Conference, and don’t forget to add Tulsa to that list.

ATM is breaking their signed contract with us, so what? They were middle tier at best. We will add byu, tcu and smu next year and be back to The Big 12, better than ever! Don’t panic and jump ship to the PAC where we travel twice as much and twice as far to play Az, Az st, Utah, Co! This new Big 12 will be better than the SEC because we will own the recruits in Texas! Don’t panic folks!

OSU might be inferior to OU, but OSU brings in 1.5 times more money than OU (its a published fact due to OSU having richer and more donors). OU has already stated they won’t go anywhere without OSU. I think OU and OSU should leave UT behind and look at the Big 10. I don’t think the Big 10 is looking to get bigger because of tradition. Look for the Big XII to get 3 more teams and make a stronger conference by adding BYU, Lousiville, and Pitt.

That confernce would have no cohesion just like the failed Big XII. Look at the mileage, it’s crazy:
Pac-16
East Div.
Oklahoma Norman
Oklahoma State 82
Texas Tech 343
Kansas? 332 (or BYU 1115)
Colorado 679
Arizona St 970 (over desert)
Arizona 972 (over desert)
Utah 1206 (over Rockies)

West Div.
USC 1347 (over Rockies)
UCLA 1347 (over Rockies)
Stanford 1623 (over Rockies)
Cal 1641 (over Rockies)
Wash State 1773 (over Rockies)
Oregon 1884 (over Rockies)
Oregon State 1965 (over Rockies)
Washington 2003 (over Rockies)

Now compare it to the Big Ten:
Big Ten
West Div.
Oklahoma
Kansas 332
Nebraska 426
Mizzou 467
Iowa 672
Illinois 688
Minnesota 802
Wisconsin 865

East Div.
Indiana 744
Purdue 792
Northwestern 817
Ohio State 936
Michigan State 1008
Michigan 1029
Penn State 1253
Pitt 1118 (or ND 882)

That’s the deal and that’s where we need to head. Forget UT. Quit waiting on those greedy B’s, who cannot be trusted ever.

Team up with OSU, T. Tech and either KU and let’s Go West, young man!

Big Ten West would be: Oklahoma, Nebraska, Mizzou, Kansas, Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, Illinois. Look at the Big Ten map, this would not be too bad. http://frankthetank.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/big-ten-map-expansion-usa.png

What happened to the “Sooner Network” plans? I thought OU wanted one too?

Play them in the nonconference schedule but PLEASE leave them alone!!!

Go to the SEC or Big-10…and take OSU with us.
