Realignment has made OSU and TTU (and TCU and BU) MORE dependent on their big brothers, not less.

The idea that OU or UT could ditch them because another power conference would pick them up is wishful thinking at best. None of the power conferences want them without big brother and most arent even willing to take little brother to get big brother.

The PAC is the only power conference willing to take the 4 team combo of UT/TT/OU/OSU that satisfies all the legislators involved. That's just reality and saying things like "UT can ditch TTU because the PAC will take TTU" is wishful thinking to make a scenario work.

In 10 years, when the GOR runs out, UT has a choice to make: move west with their entourage of OU, OSU and TT or stay put...that's really it.

Agree completely. We will probably see little in the way of conference realignment until that day happens, and my bet is that there is a good chance the "Texoma 4" are eventually part of a PAC-16. An eastern division anchored by TEXAS/USC and a western division anchored by USC/OREGON? Good grief...that is a very good product right there.

At that point WVU and most likely Kansas State to the SEC (unless an unlikely NC or VA school falls out of the ACC).

Sorry hayhiggs, but Cinci will not be invited to the party for all the reasons outlined by vandiver. The reality is there are more Ohio State fans in Cincy than Bearcat fans (just like there are more TEXAS and TAMU fans in Dallas than TCU fans). It's a game of flagships for the B1G, PAC and SEC. The Big12 remaining viable is Cincy's only hope...maybe ACC if Cincy goes on a mad run.

The reality is that there are more UC grads in greater Cincinnati (70000),
than tosu grads in greater Cincinnati (8500). Plus tosu's basketball program sucks. Any loss by tosu makes for a great weekend.
Try getting a NC home game with tosu 100 miles from Columbus. Duck and weave is all they have.
Cincinnati a large untapped market that would draw huge crowds, with PBS as a backup. And Ohio a significant recruiting ground.

LSUtah, that is crazy. Cincinnati is by far the most popular team in the metro area. The second most popular would be UK. The southern portion of our metro area is in Kentucky.
