[h2]Pac-10 commish lays out scenarios[/h2]
http://search.espn.go.com/mark-saxon/
SAN FRANCISCO -- Pac-10 commissioner Larry Scott laid out a host of expansion scenarios to athletic directors on Friday, the first day of conference meetings here. They range from a full merger with the Big 12; to merging with six current Big 12 schools, including Texas; to adding Colorado and Utah; to the status quo, according to one athletic director.
On Sunday morning, Scott will brief the school presidents and chancellors.
Nobody here expects the conference to expand any time soon, certainly not by Sunday, the final day of the meetings. Still, the possibility of adding schools -- which could lead to a financial windfall for the conference, as well as ratchet up competition -- has several attendees excited by the possibilities.
"Larry and the Pac-10 are being very proactive. That's what I like," said Washington athletic director Scott Woodward. "We're not the bug on the windshield. We're kind of driving the bus."

The latest scenario, first reported by Orangebloods.com, a Rivals affiliate, on Thursday, is that Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Colorado and Oklahoma State would be invited to join the Pac-10. Such a mega-conference likely would be divided into two leagues, one comprised of the eight original conference teams and the other made up of the newcomers plus the two Arizona schools.
Some people see that scenario as a smokescreen to a more modest expansion.
UCLA athletic director Dan Guerrero, who chairs the men's basketball committee, compared the conference's discussions here to his committee's shortly before it expanded March Madness to 68 teams. At one point, the idea of a 96-team field was floated before the more modest change was adopted. That could be what happens in the Pac-10 -- with the latest whopper just a bombshell that spurs talks.
"We went through an exercise of due diligence and really decided to look at all the possible scenarios and all the options to see what might be in the best interest of the association long term," Guerrero said. "We're doing the exact same thing here. We're in a due-diligence process."
USC athletic director Mike Garrett, whose football and basketball programs are under investigation for NCAA rules violations, declined comment.
The future look of the Pac-10 could depend on what happens with the Big Ten. If Notre Dame elects to join that conference, the likelihood is that any Pac-10 expansion would be modest. But if the Big Ten pulls in Nebraska and Missouri instead, the Big 12 could be in danger of crumbling. The Pac-10 wants to be position to scoop up some of those schools, particularly Texas, which brings with it a large, lucrative TV audience.
The heart of the issue is money. According to the Sports Business Journal, the SEC TV contracts with ESPN and CBS are worth $205 million annually.
The Pac-10's contracts with ABC/ESPN and Fox are worth $45 million. Scott hired Creative Artists Agency, a global marketing and entertainment firm whose clients include the New York Yankees, to help find new sources of revenue.
Scott is scheduled to discuss the expansion talks with the media on Sunday at noon, after the conclusion of the meetings. It's unlikely any decisions will be made so soon, but things clearly are in the works.
"I don't see any way our conference will be diminished in terms of competitive excellence," Guerrero said. "It can only be enhanced if things progress to the point where we do make decisions, but at this point in time there's nothing imminent."

Hopefully they both stay committed.

Aaron Wallace Jr supposedly ran a 4.5 and posted a 44" vert today at A&M's camp...
Cali guys, what's the story with dude? Dad headed up the Wrecking Crew way back when and people here feel good about him for the Aggies, but why the lack of offers? Sounds like he's been great at camps and measureables are through the roof...

Apparently the Pac10 commish was given the green light to extend invites to Texas, A&M, Oklahoma, Okie State, Texas Tech and Colorado...
Baylor is gonna try and screw the whole thing up for everybody again by lobbying Texas politicians for their inclusion over Colorado... They did this same thing years ago, though Tech was also involved, when A&M wanted to go SEC and Texas wanted Pac 10...
Just wonder how much pull they'll have this time around without Tech, given that they're a private school not funded by the state and don't have nearly the pull within the government... The Pac10 has no reason to take them since UT, A&M and Tech give them everything they need within the state of Texas... Baylor offers nothing from an added revenue/market standpoint, so who knows... It'll be interesting.

baylor will be left in the dust, no way a private school in waco has the political clout to hold ut, a&m and tech back from a better deal. they can join boise state in the mountain west

I'm so happy Michigan doesn't release BS numbers for their players. All the testing stays in the fieldhouse outside of height/weight.
I am just praying they actually field a decent team this year. It sounds so weird saying that about Michigan because I never would have accepted anything less than 9-3. RR needs to get this team to that QUICK or else he is on the outs.

Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe all but killed his own conference on April 30, 2008.
That’s when he decided to team up with the Big Ten and Pac-10 to reject a four-team playoff being pushed by the SEC and ACC. If the Big 12 (and/or the Big East) had supported it, the so-called “Plus One

there is NOTHING about baylor that the pac-10 wants.
im going to guess that if Texas A&M picks the SEC over the pac10 Utah or kansas will get the next offer

Mr. Beebe didnt have the foresight of his comrads. he got in bed with 2 conferences who had designs of their own and he leaped at it without looking past the present. now his conference will be plundered by the very conferences he attached his own to.
