BigXII Asking NCAA to Have 10 Team Conf. Title Game

[freescooter]

IMO, the answer here is 100% that they are shopping for the league. They want to be in control, and the B12 is in a position of relative power. Going to the PAC or B1G is a last resort if the B12 falls apart. Given the condition of the ACC, it would seem pretty easy to pluck two from there and call it a day.

I share that opinion. Texas gets special treatment in the B-12 that they would never get in the PAC or the B-10. It is why they didn't go to the PAC last time around. And while they like 10, they also know they'll be penalized by not having a title game as the de facto first round of the palyoffs, so they will try to expand if necessary.
