The PAC-10 strikes first

The Pacific Ten are primed to take half of the Big-XII in one swoop.

It looks like offers to Texas, A&M, T.Tech, OU, and OK State are in the works, possibly as early as this weekend. I guess the PAC-10 didn't want to wait for the Big 10 to make the first move...and by going first, you have the best options. Seems like we heard that before in regards to the SEC.

No one has outright confirmed the rumor, but Buffs AD, Mike Bohn, has gone on record as expecting the offer to be made soon. I wonder though, will the teams go? A&M has maintained an interest in the SEC since the '92 expansion and Oklahoma seems to lean to the southeast as well. Not to mention, will this force Delaney's hand? Could he come in with a quick counter-offer to lure the 'Horns up north?

Oh yeah, and if this happens, what happens to those poor Kansas schools and Iowa State? Both Kansas and ISU are AAU schools, so they make the academic cut for both the Big Ten and PAC-10, and the Jayhawks would be a nice b-ball pickup.
