The Pac-10 Adds Six...??? It's A Thought

The HQ wonders what to call it now if it happens...
The Pick Six-Teen...???

Chip Brown, over at orangebloods.com, is looking at the Big 12-Pac-10 landscape and how college football matters would, in fact, explode... ((The HQ requires reading his thoughts from beginning to end- we're just gonna hit the highlights here...))

His theory from the end of the Big 12 meetings, which end Friday, is that they shouldn't have even met at all... especially to talk expansion...

Because the Pac-10 is preparing, according to Brown, its own killshot to start everything moving helter skelter west of the Mississippi to "...invite Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Colorado to join its league, according to multiple sources close to the situation.

Left out would be Iowa State, Baylor, Kansas, Kansas State, Nebraska and Missouri."

That would create two divisions of eight- presumably an east and west- that would have the 12's refugees paired with Arizona and Arizona State. The rest of what started out as the Pac-10 would be the western conference.

More from Brown: "Such a merger between the six Big 12 schools and the Pac-10 would build a conference with seven of the country's top 20 TV markets (Los Angeles, Dallas, San Francisco, Houston, Phoenix, Seattle and Sacramento)."

Plus the notion that the Fox sports cable partners that broadcast both conferences games at present would give the Pick-16 their own deal similar to the Big Ten Network.

But the idea of Texas A&M jumping to the SEC could be an option as well...
Interesting bedfellows to pay attention to for the next little while...
And who knew that Boise looking to jump would start all this talk...

UPDATE: The Big 12 Conference is holding off on press conferences until Friday because of all the talk, but Oklahoma AD Joe Castiglione did address some issues Thursday...
