RE: Could the PAC give Texas an ND type deal?
The PAC would at least consider it. It might even be better than a full eastern division expansion. Add the Red River Rivalry, all of Oklahoma football and a couple other Texas-PAC road games to the TV inventory! Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas basketball! That's likely enough to get the PACN in DFW, Austin, OKC, and KC - may be even resolve the DirecTV distribution.
NORTH: Stanford, Cal, Washington, WSU, Oregon, OSU, Utah
SOUTH: UCLA, USC, Arizona, ASU, Colorado, Oklahoma, Kansas
May be enough to add the Fiesta Bowl as a secondary PAC contract bowl (to which Texas is occasionally eligible), especially if the diminished Big 12 loses the Sugar Bowl.
15 teams for Olympic sports, with mostly regional matchups to limit Austin-Corvallis, Norman-Eugene, and Lawrence-Pullman Olympic sports road trips.
Not much negotiation needed for the LHN. Texas would keep rights to all of its home football content, so that's a non-issue. LHN would only need a handful of OOC basketball and other Olympic sports games and rerun content to keep the status quo. PACN could get all of Kansas and Oklahoma basketball and most of Texas' quality basketball....
