Message: [QUOTE="Charley Horse, post: 1747086, member: 6990"] I don't actually know... but here's a thought: there may (or may not) be some desire to give everybody in the conference ample opportunity to play in Texas and presumably benefit from that exposure and reap the benefit of enhanced recruiting in the state of Texas. I only suggest that because in 2010 when the then-Pac-10 invited six Big 12 teams, there were assurances that the four Cali teams would be separated into two divisions to ensure every team in the proposed conference would get at least one trip to Cali each year. This plan may be similar to that. I would go one further though and put Texas and OU in separate divisions (but with a guaranteed cross-divisional game each year in their regular time slot). That way everybody in the conference would have one big name opponent in its division to hate on (and boost ticket sales every other year). [/QUOTE]
