Pac 16 a Reality?

Orangeblood.com reports Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, OSU and Colorado to Pac (16).

This is about as good as it gets for the Pac 1o. They don't have to take Baylor and get the Denver TV market with the Buffs. They still get Texas (the state and the U. in Austin) and the other two big schools in the state.

Oklahoma has had a little success, too. With OSU you get a sugar daddy (T-boon Pickens) to rival Oregon's Phil Knight.

This will a boon for Texas schools to tap into California recruiting, and vice versa.

My guess is ASU and U of A foes with newbies to form East Division. Old Pac fans will like this as the original 8 are in the West division. For the far left Pac-ers, good news in football will be to face east champ ONLY in a championship game.

Venues for a championship game: Jerry Jones Palace, U. of Phoenix Stadium or new 49er park (check out the drawings!).

Or, perhaps, this could kick start a new L.A. stadium to house NFL team(s), Super Bowl(s), bowl game (hopefully this news means we're heading to a playoff), etc. That's more wish than reality.

Then again, rumor has it there might not even be a Pac 16 playoff. If that's the case, why even be a conference of 16?!
