Hell even if it were D3 it probably wouldn't matter much since they would likely make even more money as a BBall independent than as part of a conference since they would not have to share. It would likely be a wash. So it's not a 'KU is ****ed' it's more a who cares where they end up, it almost doesn't matter. The BBall program will have the national TV that it always gets. Only if they were ever to care about the FB program would it matter what conference they are in. But it's not clear how much they care.

Texas would do to the PAC exactly what they've done to the Big 12 and the SWC. They're a freakin' cancer... with big fake hair and fake tits.

All of this makes me sick. I hate, hate, hate how much of a loser Kansas City is in all of this.

Let me get this straight. Your "best guess" is that a conference wants to add a school 2 time zones away located in a state with fewer than 3 million residents and one of the worst football programs of any BCS conference team, but they don't want Texas? Sounds right to me.

The PAC won't turn down anything Scott suggests is the most prudent course for them. This conference, when adding their regional network money to the TV deal stands to be making between 30 and 40 million dollars a year per school in 4-5 years. I thought it was cute, though, how OU and OSU were exploring all options including keeping the Big XII together and Texas was proclaiming they want to save the conference. They're just looking at those numbers and jackin' each other off right now.
