Pac 12 was going to get OK and Ok State regardless of TU/Longhorn network. But Pac 12 decided 14 schools were too "awkward". The writer writes for the San Jose Mercury News and is the plugged in guy for pac 12 comm's office in Walnut Creek.
Just as the ACC knows that 14 screws up matchups/ pods especially not allowing the carolina schools home and homes.
"update: Been on the phone for last 30 minutes. Here’s why league did not expand, in a nutshell:shell: It determined that a 14-school conference was awkward and it would not bow to Texas’ revenue demands. According to a source, Larry Scott walked away from weekend meeting with Texas knowing the Longhorn Network and the Pac-12 revenue model could not work together. It was zero or four and the four was too problematic —no interest in meeting UT’s revenue demands —so it’s at zero, which is where the CEOs wanted to be all along. It never even got to a vote."
Keep hope alive.
