Media deal would have still expired when it did and Texas would have still left for the SEC, IMO.  

I think the PAC 16 media deal would have been competitive with the BIG and SEC and everyone would have been happy. The ACC would have been far more likely to collapse. But who knows, we're all just speculating.

It's ok. You have your safe space here. 

It cracks me up that you think the “Left Behind…” thread is for treating former conference members with respect. That it upsets you when we don’t. 
 
Here is a fun thought- how do you think the BU AD office conversations go when they discuss trying to set up a home and home with UT?😂

Yeah, at the end of the day, major consolidation is coming and even current members of the B1G and SEC will be left out. The fact is that once schools and boosters were allowed to pay players directly, this was always going to be the end result.  Too bad for you guys T Boone kicked it already or you could be competitive. Oregon will get left at the roadside as soon as Uncle Phil dies.

We did pretty well in the portal so there's still some money coming from our richers. Not Cody Campbell money but I think we'll be decent this season. Would be nice for one of them to step up even more.

That field goal was good and fuck you for reminding me of that game.  

My take when I saw the game on live TV- if the official on the field called it bad, it wouldn’t have been reversed under review (it wasn’t) and if it had been called good on the field, it wouldn’t have been reversed under review. A crazy call that really could have legitimately gone either way.

What Pac 12 deal?

The Pac deal where ESPN flashed their titties to UT and Texas creamed their pants.

It wasn't inherently wrong, by any means.  Cash is king.  Texas did what was right for Texas.  At that point the Pac discussion was a moot point.

Correct. It definitely looked like it went directly over the upright which by rule is considered good.

It cracks me up when you repeatedly show you're too dense to read what is right in front of your face. I'm making fun of you for being a butthurt little snowflake who got his feefees. I don't give a shit how much "respect" you have for any school. Jeebus kid, learn to read.

Whatever bad things Larry Scott and the PAC thought might happen if they worked with Texas re the LHN and whatever else don't seem so bad in hindsight, now do they? Texas is probably the winner in that deal's breaking down. There was a culture of screwing the golden goose in that conference as well. USC got tired of being the school the envious little siblings pissed on and left for greener pastures.

That's my whole point.  Even if UT had joined the PAC, they still would have left for the SEC $$. CFB is now just like MLB.  There are a handful of haves and a bunch of have nots.

The thing is- y’all couldn’t win NCs before. In the BCS era, NCs were won by teams in the SEC, B1G and a couple of ACC teams that might get into the SEC or B1G. 
 
Of B12 teams, the only ones to win MNCs were Colorado (1990) and TCU (1935, 1938). 
 
What you could do, and you hate that these days might be over, is beat a blue blood and screw up their season. Those were games that delighted IR8 schools and they hate that they’re diminished 

Ahem
