Dear Bob Bowlsby Heres Your Next Move.

. The Big 12 could not survive Texas and Oklahoma leaving at least not in its current form or status. I know when the immediate news hit that the Longhorns and Sooners were heading to the SEC the easiest solution for Texas Tech was to survive was to head west to the Pac 16. Pac-12 Commissioner George Kliavkoff said Tuesday expansion isnt necessary to continue to compete and thrive as a result of Oklahoma and Texas asking for membership in the SEC.

The Pac-12 would not be unaffected. Would give us a West Texas feel with the West Coast vibe Spiegelberg said. For all we know Texas Tech moving to the PAC 12 is a long shot.

Meanwhile across the country in New York City Big East Commissioner John Marinatto said his members. Texas Longhorns 1 of 6 Program Performance Last Decade. The Pac-12 would be wise to forego its academic standards for now or get left behind in the dust.

This observation will become more apparent the further we look. ESPNs Joe Linardi has six Big 12 teams in his projected NCAA tournemt field. Who else from the Big 12 are you getting.

Texas was famously on the verge of joining the Pac-12 back in 2010 along with most of the Big 12 South. 106 Wins Outside of the trouble the Longhorn Network has caused this offseason Texas would bring arguably the most recognizable college. However it does seem fairly clear that remaining in the tattered and dilapidated Big XII for the long haul is simply not a viable option.

On Monday August 2nd Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby spoke in front of the Texas Senates Select Committee on the Future of College Sports in Texas and had nothing but bad news for the remaining Big 12 Teams and their fans. This is the most realistic. Indeed it may never happen.

This conference has been taking on water almost since its inception and the vessel is now listing hard to port. The Longhorns swept the regular-season series against the Horned Frogs. As weve written this week the two most likely outcomes for Texas Tech are landing a spot in the Pac-12 or continuing to be part of a Big 12 that puts up a Now Hiring sign trying to attract.

Plus there is a report from 247Sports Insider Jeremy Clark that late Thursday that TCU Baylor and Texas Tech have already reached out to the Pac-12 to gauge interest. 4 seed Texas will square off against the No. TCU is in Texas which as mentioned before would be a massive addition to the Pac-12 footprint.

The Big 12 could become a Group of Five conference. If Texas Tech makes sense for the Pac-12 which is open to debate it does so because it has. 3 seed after finishing a couple of games back of first.

It was supposedly part of the idea ten years ago to be a part of a Big 12 group that would join in the mix but it brings its own decent TV market theres a big enrollment and the fan base has its own. Indeed it may never happen. Looking to the Pac-12.

Maybe its due to the style of play over the years but Tech has always felt like a Pac-12 team to me. For all we know Texas Tech moving to the PAC 12 is a long shot. On July 23 2021 the Big 12 athletic directors sans OK and UT in an emergency meeting floated the idea of a merger of the remaining eight Big 12 teams Baylor Iowa State Kansas Kansas State.

Texas Tech actually wouldnt be that awful a steal if its by itself. Terrific move by the Pac 12 all around Votes. Texas Tech moving to the PAC 12 would definitely give us our own identity.

Kansas State Oklahoma Oklahoma. How do you feel about the Pac 12 potentially adding Okie State Texas Tech TCU Baylor. Texas Tech by itself will not make Pac-12 football coaches or players excited to travel to Lubbock.

Texas Oklahoma Oklahoma State and Texas Tech were among those considering a potential move from the Big 12. 5 seeded TCU on Thursday. 24 453 Bad move would rather the conference find other members including G5 options.

They are the closest geographical fit in the Big 12. Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff speaks during the leagues media day Tuesday in Los Angeles. Based off the numbers given adding Texas Tech to the Pac 12 is equivalent to adding New Mexico the western part of Texas and Tcu.

After expanding the Pac-10 with new members Utah and Colorado last year members of the new Pac-12 wont give them the chance. It didnt come to fruition but it. However it does seem fairly clear that remaining in the tattered and dilapidated Big XII for the long.
