UT folks do not favor the Pac12; they do not want to travel west


Texas folks respect the Pac12 institutions but figured out during their last analysis of the issue that traveling west is a real problem. If you play a game at 7 pm local time on the west coast you get stuck with either getting the traveling party home at 5 am or having to spend the night. And no one on the east coast will be watching, which means you're invisible.

Texas will choose whether it wants to remain the kingpin of its conference (and if so, the Big 12 will survive) or, alternatively, will choose between the Big Ten and ACC. So expansion may come down to whether or not the Big Ten wants Texas and whoever would become #16 (Oklahoma, Kansas . . . or other).
