Huh? It'd be the PAC inviting the schools, why would TU and the Oklahoma schools have to care about any other school's wellbeing?
Or they could just take Tech along with them, keep all their cupcakes, avoid a 1500+ mile road trip every other year and not waste any time concerning themselves with Boise State's well being.

I'm hearing that the ACC football schools are not too happy with what was given to ND to bring them in. I have a feeling that you might see FSU and a few others make a move out of the ACC before the 50 million buyout kicks in.
This was clearly a move made by the basketball schools to again hang out to dry the football schools.
Maybe they shouldn't, but they are much more likely to be made to care about the well being of other state schools in their respective states. It has already happened.
Is any of this getting through to you?
Well, considering how during the collapse of the SWC, the other Texas schools left Houston, SMU, TCU and Rice behind, and Ann Richards had to step in to stop them from leaving behind Baylor, and nobody cared about Aggie leaving behind TU this year, I have a hard time believing that TU would give two s about Texas Tech's future, tbh....
I hope you're deliberately being obtuse right now.
So, let me get this straight: TU has proven over the years that they don't give two s about what happens to TCU, Houston, SMU, Rice, Baylor, or Aggie, but suddenly they're going to drop everything and care deeply about Texas freaking Tech?
No.
They're going to pretend to care about Tech because public officials in Texas will force them to. Everyone knows UT doesn't genuinly give a about Tech. Same reason why OU is gonna pretend like they and OSU are a package deal even though they don't give two s about OSU and would gladly go wherever without them. Politics.
Why didn't the Texas government force TU to care about TCU, Houston, SMU, Rice, or Aggie? The only time they've stepped in on behalf of another Texas school was for Baylor, and that was ONLY because Ann Richards was a Baylor alum....
It's not about caring about someone else's well being, it's about the other three prefering a regional rival over someone that's 1500 miles away. If Boise State was located in Albequerque instead of Boise, then there might be a case for them getting the invite over Tech.
Yah, politics plain and simple.
Fwiw, Larry Scott has visited Lubbock in official Pac 10 commissioner capacity.
Because the Big 8 really only wanted Texas and A&M and was only willing to take two tagalongs. Baylor had the governor and Tech wasn't physically located in either of the two cities that Texas and A&M liked to get most of their recruits from.
ACC $50 million exit fee to go into effect 'immediately'
One ACC official told the Orlando Sentinel the upped exit fee goes into effect "immediately."
When pressured further about whether that meant anytime this academic year or sometime next summer, the official responded: immediately, as in "today."
The SEC is better academically than the big 12The SEC obviously does not pride themselves on Academics.
So neither really prides itself on academics.
Neither does Conference USA. They'll let anyone in.
Oh wow. The second worst BCS conference academically is something to brag of. Little man syndrome on full display.
He's responding to the idiot big12 fan (you) who was talking academic smack about the sec. He's not bragging about it
In my original post I said the SEC obviously does not pride themselves on academics which they don't. (Did I say the Big XII did?) He then responds with the "our conference is better than yours even though they both rank low becausr we HAVE to look more distinguished than Texas" argument. Just another case of micro man syndrome.He's responding to the idiot big12 fan (you) who was talking academic smack about the sec. He's not bragging about it
So you were knowingly talking about another conferences' academics when being fully aware that your conference is worse in said category.
Go back and look at the quote. "Obvious". What conference as of late has had the most academically ineligible athletes in the news?So you were knowingly talking about another conferences' academics when being fully aware that your conference is worse in said category.
