Quote:The Sooners are more stable, and athletic director Joe Castiglione stands firmly with the Big 12. But others in power on campus are less committed; many still regret that OU and others did not jump to the Pac-10 last summer. No one in authority at OU wants any part of the SEC culture, but the Pac-10 remains a popular idea among people that matter in Norman.

The Texas Network muddles the Longhorns' Pac-10 interest. UT athletic director DeLoss Dodds has said the possibility of starting his own network helped keep the 'Horns in the Big 12, and the Pac-10 has since voted to market its “third-tier rights” (the new phrase for the kind of events headed for the Texas Network) collectively.

But a Big 12 source told me last summer that the Pac-10 was willing to let Texas establish its own network. And some have said the proposed Pac-10 Network will be a tough sell. So who knows?

OU powers that be prefer the Pac-10 to the SEC..and the implication that the Pac-12 would still take Texas even with its longhorn network with open arms.

As Sammy11 says...Texoma 4.
