TX has said they will commit to a new Big12 if the TV revenue is there and they can have the TAN.

However, TX knows that aTm will go to the SEC, thereby letting TX off the hook, yet TX can still look like the good guy.

TX and the other four will depart for the PAC10 no later than Friday.

The North schools run for cover because they actually believed that this new Big12 was gonna work. Silly them.

I hope like hell this is right. Absolutely NO interest in being a pawn in Texas power play. I want KU to pick up their chips and rid itself of a disingenuous MU, a lame KSU and a conference where Texas holds all of the cards. On the the PAC 16 if possible - ASAP!

Sources: Departure to Pac-10 coming

The departure of Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State to the Pac-10 is imminent, four sources within the Big 12 said Monday.

One source said Dan Beebe's last-minute plan to save the conference has "zero" chance to succeed. Another source said it is "very unlikely" to succeed.

Texas' interests in being aligned with the research opportunities and academic missions of Pac-10 schools is driving the decision, along with money.

Beebe's last-ditch plan included an emotional plea about preserving rivalries and maintaining the best welfare of the student-athlete, one source said.

Texas A&M is now most likely to join the SEC, a source within the Big 12 said. This move, in the wake of Colorado and Nebraska's departure, would further diminish the chance of Beebe's plan succeeding, one source said.

Texas' decision is expected to come no later than Tuesday. One source familiar with Texas' plans suggested a hearing on Wednesday at the Texas House of Representatives is "a nonfactor."

Will still have to compete with UCLA, Cal and a few others... bad year last year for the Pac-10, but the Jayhawks will still finish at the bottom of the league in football.

If you're extremely lucky, MU might get to battle Northwestern for the cellar in the Big Ten. More likely, MU will be part of a cobbled-together MWC or Big East. A big price to pay for starting this mess.
