The Big 12 to Stay?

The past week has been crazy in the college conference landscape.  Colorado jumped from the Big 12 to the Pac 10 and Nebraska defected to the Big 10.  There were reports that another five universities from the Big 12 were ready to move, but that might not be true.

Texas Rescues the Big 12

Reports today are that the University of Texas is willing to sit down with the remaining 9 universities currently in the Big 12 and discuss the future. The Big 12 is offering a television deal that the Pac 10 isn't and would allow Texas to have their own network bringing in millions to the university. According to sources close to the other schools, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Texas Tech are going where ever Texas goes.

Texas A&M

The other wild horse in the Big 12 is Texas A&M. When reports came out that they were invited to join the Pac 10, A&M said they were considering a move to the SEC. Time will tell if this will change if the Big 12 doesn't dissolve.
