the regular series was ending or at least pausing soon. But I'm very sad to lose this September Tradition.

They beat them when they were down
Them and IU were the only teams that they beat twice in the three years of d!(k rod.

I would like to play Texas every year too :B) hint, hint, Delany.....

Texas will get their seat at the Big Ten table. And their seat will count the same as Indiana or Minnesota or anyone else regardless of how good their football team is

Certain people in the know see to think otherwise
It will take a couple of years until the Big Ten's current TV contract is up to add 4 more teams but there are some big fish that they are trying to lure in. Crimson & Cream are the colors of one of the rumored schools
I wouldn't be surprised if during the next TV Deal the Big Ten branches out with school specific alternate networks like BTN-OSU or BTN-PSU(if a school chooses to have one) leading to Texas potentially converting the Longhorn Network to BTN-UT
This has been small talk around Big Ten for a couple of years ever since the LN was conceived and the last part it is almost pure extrapolation on my part but it could realistically happen because their would be plenty of demand for at least 5 or 6 Big Ten schools.

Pretty sure the Longhorns fans will shout down any talk of a texas-osu series after their treatment from the Buckeye faithful in 2005. But let's not give out spoilers for the Huskers next month.

I see Texas independent for a period before they would join us.
The ego there really IS that big. The longhorn tv debacle may be blunting that a bit, though.
I just don't see Texas willingly joining any conference that has equality. They have always been the boss, and do not want to see that change.
This is a large part of the reason the Big 12 still exists. They would rather be the boss over ISU and Kansas and the rest, and let Oklahoma think they are equal partners. We all know that isn't true. Hell, OU knows that isn't true.
But Texas would have been equal to everyone in the PAC, and didn't have the stomach for it.
If Texas joins the B1G, I would be both pleased and worried. A good add, but Texas has a very long history of destruction that makes them as dangerous as beneficial. I think, though, that the rest of the nation now realizes the danger. I think the Bevo 12 survives for a while. At least as long as Texas wants it to.

Virginia Tech should eventually land in the SEC. I want them in the Big Ten but they should be SEC bound.
Think closer to home and Big 8 football
