Just wanted to copy something my friend posted on a blog post about baylor being more attractive then colorado based on its supposed athletic accomplishments:

All weekend long, ESPN has been harping about how Oklahoma is the second-biggest catch for the Pac-16 besides Texas.

Really? I mean, really? Does nobody understand the idea of conference expansion? This isn't about football, people: it's about money. If you think Oklahoma and its 45th (OKC) and 61st (Tulsa) ranked media markets is a "catch" with regards to conference expansion, then you have failed to grasp the very essence of why anyone is interested in conference expansion in the first place.

In terms of conference expansion, Oklahoma is basically a crimson and cream New Mexico with a better football team. Oh wait, ALBUQUERQUE IS A BIGGER MEDIA MARKET THAN OKLAHOMA CITY.
