Good morning. Most of you surely recall the late spring of 2010, when relatively new Pac-10 commissioner Larry Scott aggressively pursued a plan that probably would have altered the college football landscape forever. Scott wanted to create the first superconference in the land by inviting Big 12 members Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Colorado to form a 16-team league.
Reports seemed to change by the minute, as things constantly shifted from “the Pac-16 is imminent” to “Texas A&M isn’t going west with Texas” to “the Big 12 is disintegrating oh wait hang on the Big 12 is fine but poor Dan Beebe is gonna get crucified” and everything in between.
