Cowhered, the blowhard, said that Utah to Pac-10 is basically a done deal. He was less definitive on CU to Pac-10.
Stating that, he put TCU into Big 12 for their reload.
On the Big 10, he put Rutgers and UCONN as additions to get the the NYC market. using his east coast bias, but that makes some sense money wise. If they take a couple of Big East teams, that weakens the Big East. This is a conference that has already lost people to the ACC.
Now digesting these hypotheses:
The big east becomes less credible as a Football conference.
The Big 12 is getting raided by either Pac-10 and/or Big 10-CU and MU.
The ACC has little to offer...so they maintain status quo and become more of a basketball conference...they start looking like the big East of 90's.
SEC-what will they do will they raid weaker conferences ie. Big 12 or ACC.
MWC becomes less credible and must take BSU to keep breathing. BSU must move.
WAC and CUSA...nothing changes, they are low on the totem pole.
I think it all depends upon the movement of the SEC and who they raid. If the Big 12 is raided, they will likely ask TCU to come over. I could see Houston High getting an offer, because they are a state school. If UT and TAMU leave, we get invited into a weak conference with every team north of the Red River looking for an exit and the TTU and Baylor saying to us, "So this is how it felt in 90's?" I can't see Baylor or TTU going to the SEC, Big 10, or PAC-10. They are stuck.
Anyway it goes...I see us in a great spot to get screwed. As it goes with athletic conferences and TCU for the last 20 years...that is about par for the course. The only good move we have had is the MWC.
