Oklahoma State To Pac 10? Cowboys Reportedly Leaving Big 12 For Pac Ten

The dominoes have started falling and where they'll land noone knows. However, it is pretty obvious that schools, athletic directors & football headcoaches are making this move for the money. Not that there's anything wrong with that (especially since public universities nationwide have taken significant funding hits with this recession, especially in places like Florida where my alma mater, University of South Florida has lost millions in government funding.) A major TV network like The Big 10 Network provides cash and tons of it for building/expansion/renovation projects, funding & budgeting for R&D and anything else a major University might need.

Eventually we're probably going to see 4-5 superconferences each representing a geographical monopoly on NCAA athletic competition with less "significant" schools like Marshall, UCF, Baylor?, etc. being relegated to the "other" conferences. It is what it is. Of course, the "amateur" student athletes will never see a dime of those increased TV revenues, but that and the NCAA's hypocrisy are different topics for another post when I have all day and lots of digital ink. http://www.thegreatblogofketo.blogspot.com/
