It looks like Texas doesn't want a League Championship game and in the Big 12, er, Big 10? Texas does not get what Texas does not want. That leaves TCU out of the picture. Too bad the horny Toads have been cranking out quality teams in a variety of sports lately. Who could blame Texas for wanting out of a Championship game it usually loses? I get a hoot out of the fact that the Big 12 now has 10 teams and the Big 10 now has 12 teams, Only in the world of NCAA Div 1 football could that happen. I picked up a Sporting News' preseason college football mag yesterday. They don't even have the right teams in 3 of the BCS conferences, what morons! ;-)     Well Utah to the Pac10, er Pac12?

The ACC has proven that a football championship doesn't work unless your big television teams are in it. The Pac-11 has just seen its sole 'big' program wrecked by the NCAA. How much is an Oregon-Utah game worth?</p> <p>Mack now doesn't have to worry about blowing a Big XII championship. It will cost the other schools money, but not the Horns.</p> I’m not so sure either league expands, at least right away.

Mack now doesn’t have to worry about blowing a Big XII championship. It will cost the other schools money, but not the Horns.

I don't foresee any weakening of the power of the SEC in football.  All roads to the MNC will still be guarded by a roaming SEC behemoth.

Neither arrangement provided long term stability. As the dust settles, there may be more movement as both the Big 12 and the Pac10 now stand at 11 teams and need one more to maintain/create 2 6 team division: TCU to the Big12 and Utah to the Pac 10? It could happen and soon. Two past examples of one school becoming lord and master of a conference: Louisville running the Metro Conference and Miami running the Big East.
