Oh, and the Kansas/Kansas State cabal is vastly superior on the football side (both in attendance and recent performance) than the UNC/Duke crew in that last analogy.

CU has officially joined the Pac-10, according to the conference website. That should really improve the conference in both basketball and football.

What it does is move the Pac -16(?) into the biggest mountain time zone tv market, Denver. That's why they got to come along to the party. You have to realize this has very little to do with sports. It is all about money.

I'm sorry, but do people in Denver really give a crap about CU sports? Serious question. I'd always thought Denver was much more a pro sports town.

I'm not trying to be an ass but do you understand what is happening here? The Denver market would be getting the pac-10 games now. The people there would be exposed to the Pac-10. They currently arent. Denver is like the 17th largest TV market in the country that would now be Pac-10 territory. It is by far the largest TV market in the Mountain time zone. The expansion gives the pac 10 the LA market(2), SF market(6), Dallas/Ft Worth(7), Houston (10), Seattle(13), Phoenix(14), Denver(17), Sacramento (19) and Portland (23)markets. That is 9 out of the top 23 TV markets in the country. Don't you think that is a whole lot more important clout-wise than kansas basketball? You don't think that every Sat night in the fall we are going to get ABC or Fox double headers featuring pac 10 teams? You don't think that the new pac-10 football championship isn't going to be a major deal?

The really troubling thing is that these same college presidents that are selling out thier conference partners for a bigger piece of the pie will howl with indignity if a player gets a pair of shoes or if someone buys their parents a plane ticket to see them play. "It's all about the student-athlete" they will cry and some idiots will actuall believe them. KY's president willing signed up calipari knowing full well that the shadester will virtually only "recruit" one and done guys who will most likely not bother to attend class but for one semester. USC's president ignored Carroll's players being better paid than some NFL teams and now they are going to the sidelines while Carroll gets paid to screw up the Seahawks.

Odd time to be a Mizzou alum/fan. We certainly aren't one of the big boys of the Big 12 (Texas), but we aren't exactly the worthless pieces of crap that no conference in their right mind would want (I'm looking at you Iowa St and Kansas St).

Could still end up in the Big 10. Could end up in some modified version of the Big 12. Could end up in some backwater conference (MWC? MAC?) with a few other Big 12 North rejects. It is odd that the future of Mizzou sports could depend on the actions of organizations like the Texas State legislature and/or the Notre Dame booster club.

Actually Phoenix is the largest TV market in Mountain time...

but I agree with you on every other point.

Cannon, so what if the Pac-10 is in television sets in Denver? Are you suggesting they're not typically on there already provided there isn't a conflict with Colorado? And the point was that nobody in Denver cares about college football, just like nobody in vast swaths of the greatest Northeast cares about college football. I laugh at the folks who think the Big Ten are going to take Rutgers because they get the "New York" market - what do you think the ratings are for Rutgers football games in New York? They're not very high, I can tell you that much.
Am a Rutgers alum who lived in NYC for nearly half his life. Ratings for RU football are terrible (at best!) While there's a lot of reasons why Rutgers would fit well in the Big Ten, I also laugh at the grab for ratings in NY.

Phil, Arizona is not in Mountain time. They have their own time zone and do not change the clocks. half they year they are on mountain time and half the year they are on pacific time.

Edit: I guess Arizona is considered Mountain time zone eventhough they do not change the clocks. They are on Pacific time during the summer and Mountain time during the winter, so most college sports would fall under mountain time.

Dude attendance is not a factor, nor is recent performance. TV ratings are and none of those football teams move anyones chains.
