Official.

All along, there were indications Larry Scott sold everyone on PAC-16 expansion except the PAC-12 Preesidents.

WALNUT CREEK, Calif.-- In light of the widespread speculation about potential scenarios for Conference re-alignment, the Pac-12 Presidents and Chancellors have affirmed their decision to remain a 12-team conference. Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott said, “after careful review we have determined that it is in the best interests of our member institutions, student-athletes and fans to remain a 12-team conference. While we have great respect for all of the institutions that have contacted us, and certain expansion proposals were financially attractive, we have a strong conference structure and culture of equality that we are committed to preserve. With new landmark TV agreements and plans to launch our innovative television networks, we are going to focus solely on these great assets, our strong heritage and the bright future in front of us.””

PAC-12 will not expand because Texas will not agree to equal revenue sharing. Gee, what a surprise! My question is why didn't PAC-12 take OU/OSU combo?

Once talks between Texas and the PAC 12 cooled, OU and company cooled as well. OU wants to be with Texas, OSU wants to be where OU is, and Texas Tech goes back to being a backwater without the association with Texas.
