Inside the Beltway Talk re: PAC 12 & Expansion

Totally not for the uninitiated, I understand.  But for those that get it.
.
I LOVE the fact that the PAC 12 told Texas to pound sand if it wants to keep the Longhorn Network.  Texas essentially caused the latest shuffle, first driving out Nebraska and Colorado as it tried to grab more revenue - then driving out Texas A&M with the revenue split and their own network.
.
So, when the Austin papers published, in Texas, the terms that they would come to the PAC12, our PAC 12 commissioner told Texas - thanks, but Not So Fast. The PAC 8, PAC 10 and PAC 12 have always split evenly.  Always.
.
We will change that when Bevo flies and farts gold dust.
.
I'm not saying Texas won't join.  They may easily join - or we might just go with the Oklahoma schools.  But I do like that our commissioner says we don't have to go with anything.  We are fine right now if everyone doesn't want to share and play nice.
