Larry Scott's statement and your posts based on a Pac12 source are spun to cast the Pac12 in the best possible light. I'm sure DeLoss Dodds could tell the exact same story with a more favorable Texas flavor and both would be true. The Pac12 isn't crying because Texas left them at the altar but Texas isn't either.

But do you really think this is the end of their conversations?
Or at minimum, do you think they might just leave Texas out of the equation and go after OU and OSU?
I guess I am different than most...I truly think Texas' ego could eventually get them in trouble. They're not ND and I don't think they would be as successful as an Independent from a standpoint of viewership.
And who's to say anyone would oblige scheduling them if the superconference ideas form around them?
In the end I am hoping to see them get their "kick in the balls".
