An NCAA source with direct knowledge of what occurred told ESPN.com that the aggressiveness of the Pac-10 caused various factions of the collegiate sports world to coalesce. They then worked to slow and try to stop the pace of moves that would have left a number of schools searching for a new conference home.

The source said the people involved were business executives, conference commissioners, athletic directors, network executives with ties throughout college athletics, administrators at many levels throughout the NCAA membership and a "fair number of them without a dog in the hunt."

Hmm...

My guess is Mack, Erin Andrews, Herbstreit, and possibly Pat Jones.

Whose interests are best served by inaction?

1. Rich bitches from schools that would've been left in the cold.

2. PAC boosters who don't want their conference conquered.

3. Notre Dame boosters who want them to remain independant. With conf. expancion they may have been forced to join the Big10.

4. Fox attempting to save money up front.

5. All of the above.

I'm fairly certain this is a terrible long term move. Texas just let us sign our own death warrants. Once this....Texas Sports Network...is launched there will be no turning back
