Oklahoma State Next to Jump to Pac-10

The Oklahoma State Cowboys are blazing a trail to the Pacific-10 Conference ... according to a source -- and leaving the future of the Big 12 Conference in serious jeopardy.

A source in the OK State athletic department tells TMZ Sports the move is a "done deal." The Pac-10 just made it official that Colorado is also jumping off the Big 12 ship.

We're told it's "just a matter of time" before the OK State announcement is also made. It's been rumored that Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, and Texas A&M will also join the new super conference. Nebraska, it's widely believed, will go to the Big 10.

As for why this is all going down -- our source says "everyone wants a playoff system ... and this is the first step toward doing it."

Report: Texas Tech, Texas, Texas A&M to leave Big 12; OK State mum

Oklahoma State is denying the TMZ report:

Oklahoma State's athletic department informed ksbitv.com that there will be some sort of statement out of the president's office later Thursday. However, the university released a statement saying, "The report circulating about an immediate announcement today concerning Oklahoma State University and conference realignment is without merit. There are no announcements planned by Oklahoma State University. We remain committed to the Big 12 Conference. If there are additional defections, we will have to evaluate our options."

Time for UH and UNT systems to step up - you're talking about 36k and above enrollments out of both - larger than ANYONE in the current BIG 12 except A&M and UT. Their SATs are actually HIGHER than TTECHs also and include all colleges within their respective systems including medical schools and law schools!!

Talk about marketing anyone? I would pull all he mentioned into SWC and also include KANSAS AND KSTATE !!!

And if that doesn't work - recommend UNT with thier 40k enrollment and near Tier1 to be accepted into BIG 10 for future - would the conf a slant agains PAC16 with them in recruiting and TV market hook for the DFW market!!

I love the positive thinking but Big10? Seriously?? I think someone has spiked their green kool-aid.

And what exactly is "near Tier 1" supposed to mean? We're only one of several state school vying for Tier 1 status, but we are currently Tier 4, if I'm not mistaken.

Weird that a guy commenting on the DMN website wouldn't have all the facts.

      2025 DC Wish List

      Let's go totally gangsta, and make a statement with this hire. Let's send notice that North Texas will not tolerate losing to the likes of UTSA. I think we could get this guy as our next DC.............. Jess Loepp https://goutsa.com/sports/football/roster/season/2024/staff/jess-loepp He is currently in his 3rd season as the Runners Defensive Coordinator. And, UTSA doesn't have enough money to stop us from taking him.

      Caponi fired

      Just seeing this!! Fantastic....but...why the wait?? We could tell this was a disaster long before now. Now the season has already been ruined and any interim can't make much impact on changes they might want to make. Regardless.......Great news......just 11 months too LATE!

      A Game To Keep An Eye On

      Two years ago we went toe-to-toe with Boise State in a bowl game. Fast forward to today and Boise State has the inside track to being in the CFP and we’re trending to a #100 ranking. We have Jared Moseley and Eric Morris to thank for that. What a disaster for UNT.

      Why Support this Program?….Seriously!?

      I agree with the reason why most of our alumni don’t care. However I don’t agree with why our administration doesn’t care. I think they want to win on the cheap and not rock the boat with Old Denton. If they wanted to win they would publicly pursued and likely hired one of the high profile younger coaches that made a stop in one of our old conferences or FCS. Lane Kiffin, Larry Coker, Major Applewhite, Dat Nguyen (as a DC), Kevin Sumlin, Doug Williams, Howard Schnellenberger, Briles, Gary Patterson, June Jones, Deion Sanders or etc. Now if Zach Orr becomes a FBS head coach without going directly to a program that has not won multiple P5/P4 conferences title or New Years 6 bowls since 1980 without his agent getting a call from UNT it won’t be a surprise. The only coach hire I was ever slightly excited for was Dan McCarney. I have followed this team as a knowledgeable CFB fan for 25 years.

      Yeah....Army has a ways to go. They've actually got Notre Dame (neutral site--Yankee Stadium I think).....then host UTSA.....then the AAC championship game (which, as you say....will be against Tulane). But Boise has to lose.....for their to even be a chance.
