RE: Is a Big Ten raid on the Pac 12 feasible?

Especially when you take into consideration that the SEC & B1G (and maybe even the ACC with TX) will be courting them.
Depending on how the next round of TV/Media contracts go, their only option might be to form some sort of alliance with the either the XII or the B1G. Adding the XII to their network plus scheduling or share programming and scheduling with the B1G.
A Pac-16 with Texas, Oklahoma & Kansas would make more then what either of the Big12 or Pac-12 are generating.
If we were working under the assumption that they did go to the Pac and not the B1G or SEC, IMO the most likely reason that it happened that way would be because the Pac12 was willing to accept Texas & OU coming in as a group of schools allowing their "little brothers" to come with them where as the B1G/SEC would only want them individually.
