KSU, Kansas, Utah, TCU, and BSU have all played in BCS games. I think that conference matters in the grand scheme of things. Add in BYU and Mizzou for depth and you have a league at least as good as the ACC or Big East in football.
ESPN crawler is reporting that Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, and Okie State are considering joining the Pac 10 as early as Tuesday. Texas A&M is reportedly interested in the SEC.
On top of that you also have a conference with some Basketball powers now as well. Point being the MWC could go from step child wanting to be part of the BCS picture, to a perennial player.
this pretty much seals it for ok state to pac whatever. Pickens Voices Support For OSU Move - Sports News Story - KOCO Oklahoma City
Here is some information on the transition we may see: "Realignment will create incredibly awkward season in 2010" by Conference chatter / LJWorld.com
The plane was supposedly in SLC on the 11th... http://www2.kusports.com/weblo...rth-10-million/ 9:41 p.m. Update We just arrived at the airport. A couple other media organizations here as well. Stay tuned. No plane on the ground yet. 9:26 p.m. Update Tom and I are on 435-North heading to the airport. About 25 minutes out. He's driving 80 mph to get us there in time and we're listening to Carlos Santana. I'm a fan but judging by the volume levels Tom's a much bigger fan. Anyway, here's what we've learned while en route. Although the flight tracker web page indicates that the plane has not yet departed, we believe it's in the air because we were told that sometimes the pilots turn those things off and this particular pilot was upset by the presence of media at the Lubbock airport earlier today so he may be trying to avoid another circus at KCI. Sources have also indicated that Larry Scott is flying to KC tonight expressly to meet with KU AD Lew Perkins. Stay tuned.
