I think Texas is torn; either stay in the B12, leave with others to the Pac10 or leave by itself to the B10. If it were simply about money, the B10 would be the winner, if it was about football, the SEC stands a chance, and if about tradition, they should add a couple of teams and make a go of the B12

The Pac10 superleague of 16 doesn't make a lot of sense to me, and the time zone shift difference won't be a great move on the part of Texas, though the climate of the P10 is more in keeping with the B12, unlike the B10.

Really interesting times in the NCAA though.
Nebraska is instantly the third best program in the Big 10. I'm not sure why you think they aren't adding anything football wise.
