The Pac-12 rebuffing Oklahoma’s expansion interest puts Texas back in the driver’s seat per Barking Carnival. For the Longhorns, it’s a temporary but critical victory for keeping the Big 12 together. Oklahoma must now rethink its strategy, discussed at BlatantHomerism.com. Among the possibilities now is a Big East/Big 12 merger of the remaining programs in each. The CBS Eye on College Football blog reports Big East members aren’t particularly happy with ACC-bound Pitt and Syracuse and may seek their ouster before the 2013 deadline imposed by the conference. The same blog says East Carolina is interested in joining the future league, whatever that may look like.
