Oklahoma State Next to Jump to Pac-10

Originally posted Jun 10th 2010 9:54 AM PDT by TMZ Staff

The Oklahoma State Cowboys are blazing a trail to the Pacific-10 Conference ... according to a source -- and leaving the future of the Big 12 Conference in serious jeopardy.

A source in the OK State athletic department tells TMZ Sports the move is a "done deal." The Pac-10 just made it official that Colorado is also jumping off the Big 12 ship.

We're told it's "just a matter of time" before the OK State announcement is also made. It's been rumored that Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, and Texas A&M will also join the new super conference. Nebraska, it's widely believed, will go to the Big 10.

As for why this is all going down -- our source says "everyone wants a playoff system ... and this is the first step toward doing it."

Report: Texas Tech, Texas, Texas A&M to leave Big 12; OK State mum

Oklahoma State is denying the TMZ report:

Oklahoma State's athletic department informed ksbitv.com that there will be some sort of statement out of the president's office later Thursday. However, the university released a statement saying, "The report circulating about an immediate announcement today concerning Oklahoma State University and conference realignment is without merit. There are no announcements planned by Oklahoma State University. We remain committed to the Big 12 Conference. If there are additional defections, we will have to evaluate our options."

Time for UH and UNT systems to step up - you're talking about 36k and above enrollments out of both - larger than ANYONE in the current BIG 12 except A&M and UT. Their SATs are actually HIGHER than TTECHs also and include all colleges within their respective systems including medical schools and law schools!!

Talk about marketing anyone? I would pull all he mentioned into SWC and also include KANSAS AND KSTATE !!!

And if that doesn't work - recommend UNT with thier 40k enrollment and near Tier1 to be accepted into BIG 10 for future - would the conf a slant agains PAC16 with them in recruiting and TV market hook for the DFW market!!

I love the positive thinking but Big10? Seriously?? I think someone has spiked their green kool-aid.

And what exactly is "near Tier 1" supposed to mean? We're only one of several state school vying for Tier 1 status, but we are currently Tier 4, if I'm not mistaken.

Weird that a guy commenting on the DMN website wouldn't have all the facts.

      Attendance

      If Army fans weren't at least 40% of the crowd....there must have been alot of NT fans yelling for Army. The "NORTH" Westside "TEXAS" Eastside chant was the best all year...if I remember it was after a Army turn over 28519 attendance.

      Elf blew this one

      I won't lean either way on this one. Agree the defense played a hell of a game. I don't think EM would have tried the onside kick after the FG if he knew the defense would play as it did. If I was told we would give up 14 points to ARMY, I would have metaphorically bet the house we win. But had we shortened a drive or two more giving us the ball one or two more times, maybe we have enough to win. Offense had few penalties this game it seemed. I guess that happens when you only have the ball 15 minutes. You could argue not scoring 7 points on the opening drive, plus an apparent bad call on the goal line in the 2Q, lost the game. That the offense got as close as it did against the 28th ranked pass defense, the 3rd ranked run defense, the 1st ranked scoring defense that’s only giving up 11.25 ppg, and the 5th ranked defense overall is a tribute to both the offense and the defense. We had our shots and blew most of them. GMG

      Parking

      What do you expect them to do if every spot is claimed, either by donors or sales? They can’t make the passes get used, but can you imagine if they oversold that lot and people with valid passes showed up with no spot to park in?

      You are so right about all of this…and when we see any of it change, it’ll be an awesome day. I’ve been waiting since 1990…
