pac 10 will not take baylor

[bulldozier1]

ESPN Report Huskers And Mizzou faces ultimatum.

"Nebraska has until 5 p.m. on Friday to tell us what they're going to do," one school official said, according to the The American-Statesman. "The same deal for Missouri. They have to tell us they're not going to the Big Ten."

The Big 12 is as bad as the Big East. They have no power. Big 12 don't pay its lower tier teams jack. Texas get to take the pot of gold ever year. I don't blame Mizzou or the Huskers for leaving.

they will either have to call the politicians bluff or decide whether or not taking baylor is worth having texas, texas A&M, oklahoma and oklahoma state, tech

pac 10 will not take baylor

They  will if Texas says so.  If Texas says, "No Baylor, No Texas" the pac 10 will fold.  Texas has that kind of power.

UT won't say that unless the Legislature makes them say that...

... but the Pac 10 commissioner has presented both plans (w/ Colorado or w/ Baylor) to the Pac 10 presidents.

really colorado and baylor are a wash.  baylor has better basketball and olympic sports than colorado.  colorado football program has become nothing since the 90's.  I don't see the pac 10 scrapping the idea because they would have to take baylor over colorado.

There are two other important differences:

* Colorado would add more cable markets than Baylor - even if their instate support isn't the same as, say, Florida

* Colorado is a member of the AAU and Baylor is not

This could give the Pac 10 pause... especially the academic side (although TX Tech, OSU and OU are not AAU members either so it may be a wash)

baylor is still very good academically.

The four Texas teams from the B12 South are a package deal. They go together or not at all. The legislature has made that very clear. They only way Colorado gets included is if one of the Oklahomas gets left out, which is unlikely IMO)

I think it's a done deal.

The B12 South + the Arizonas becomes the P10 East

Mizzou, Nebraska, and Kansas jump to the B10 (along with ND and Rutgers)

The last 3 teams of the B12 North (K-State, Iowa St, Colorado) keep the B12 name, absorb the MWC, and add maybe Boise, Idaho, Utah St and Fresno from the WAC to become a 16-team BCS conference.

SEC takes FSU, Clemson, GaTech, and either UNC or UVA from the ACC (or maybe TCU, deff not Miami)

The 8-9 remaining ACC teams absorb the 7 remaining FB teams from the Big East (and maybe one from CUSA) under the ACC banner. The 8 BE Basketball teams keep the BE name and bring in a few A10 members to tray and stay as the premier BB league (although ACC might just have the edge now, wth Cuse, Uconn, Pitt, and WVU)

When the dust settles, we'll have five 16-team BCS conferences = 80 BCS teams (currently 66 incl ND), and we'll be in the ACC South with UM, Tobacco Road, Cincy and the Ville.

And the antitrust investigation goes on hold for a few more years...

Any of these teams taking a risk by shopping themselves around (i.e. Mizzou), has to be aware, that, if all else fails, and everything falls apart with all of the conference realignments and they are left out in the cold, the Big East will take them in. The BE would love to get Mizzou and have everything else stay the same. It's kind of the consolation prize if things don't work out like they thing they will.
