Couldn't they have least waited for the first tier rights to come around for negotiation?
I wonder if the reason they will add another Texas school just to have another Texas school in the conference to replace the one that left.
No, because then that would be helping Texas get even more money. While Texas doesn't even need that money anyway, I'm sure that the folks at aTm would want to stick it to them regardless. Just a meaningless ego trip on that front.
However, I won't buy this until it's OFFICIAL:
1. Message boards have a predominant tendency to initiate/spread baseless rumors.
2. It's a PAY site, that has an economic incentive to say such things.
Everybody just needs to keep calm, nothing has happened yet. It's not like there were "strong" rumors of Texas, OU, OSU, aTm, Colorado, and TT going to the Pac-10 last summer......oh wait.
