Wait, so TT would apply to join the Pac 12? Obviously, that's not just happening in a TT vacuum. What is the scenario under which they would apply? Is this back to some form of the suggestion from last year, with four Big 12 teams (the others presumeably being UT, OU and OSU) applying to join the Pac 12?

BTW, as was surmised in the past few days, I don't see the Pac 12 just accepting the LHN, even if they want Texas in, but I am not sure if it's worth it to the conference to expand if the four candidates are instead something like TT, Baylor, OU and OSU. Not only does not having UT in there make expanding much less attractive, but going to 16 teams without UT would appear to eliminate the possibility of adding UT in the future.
