Baylor hasn't even made it to a bowl game since 94. Last i checked colorado hasn't been since 07. Both teams have a losing record in there bowl games.
TCU is up and coming. They are out growing all the schools they play and need to be bumped up to where they have some good teams to play.

Colorado has a much larger fan base and history in not only football, but all sports (they don't have a baseball team though). Truthfully, after Boise manhandled them, I doubt they want anything to do with any of the other conferences. Plus Pac 10 is not just looking at football, they also consider all sports as a whole.
The current bowl system/BCS generated $220 million in gross revenue in 2008-09 and just $140 million in profit due to the high cost of keeping most bowl games afloat. If this sounds good, it isn’t.
Delany estimates a playoff could gross $880 million. The more conservative, yet exhaustively researched estimate we used in the book comes in at around $780 million. In each case profits would exceed $700 million, meaning the BCS is costing college athletics over half a billion in annual profit.

A&M already has a offer to join the SEC.
Texas wants the Pac-10 because they are afraid of the SEC.
The Big Ten played Missouri and is waiting on Notre Dame to join.

While some of that is true they are mainly looking at football. This whole thing is about money and how to make more of it. FOOTBALL is the money maker. The basketball structure is set and isn't going to be changed. Football on the other hand is going to go through many changes including a playoff system.

Good to see the big 12 die away. The conference is a piece of **** and the revenue sharing is unequal amongst the schools. Nebraska did the smart thing, going to the Big 10 where they gave out 22 MILLION to each school this year.

SEC meet with Texas and A&M yesterday - and threw on the table for Texas to have it's own network - which is what Texas wants - The Pac-10 isn't going to allow texas to have one.
Also Texas and A&M are meeting with the Big Ten next week.

I am not wrong. I know that its the school thats getting invited not just the football team. My point is that all the other sports are maxed out on profit. They will not gain any extra money. While football on the other hand have a bowl system that doesn't do them justice as far as profits go. As explained in the other post.

So in a synopsis:
Nebraska to Big 10ish
Colorado to the Pac
Boise State to the Mountain West
A&M talks of SEC and will meet Sat(also talks of if they go, none of the Texas schools will play them again. This will toss the Lonestar shootout, out the window.)
TT, Texas, OU, OSU and A&M offered spot to the PAC.
Official choices will be posted Tuesday.
Baylor just finished a press conference preaching that the remaining teams stay in the Big 12ish conference.
Is it just me or is the MWC sneaking up for a BCS bowl bid?
