So much for the chaos

Maybe we can compare it to a boxer taking a couple of shots but stands firm and ends of knocking out his opponent. The Big 12 is the triumphant fighter and the Pac 10 the latter. After all the threats, rumors, reports, stories, and general hooplah (including your's truly) the University of Texas is staying put. This has just been confirmed by the school after the Pac 10 commissioner first broke the news. The Longhorns were the ringleader of the realignment motion so this means that Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech, and maybe Texas A & M are all remaining at home. So much for the super conference formerly known as the Pac 10. That leaves the Big 12 with 10 teams and the Big 10 with 12. No, they probably won't switch names. Maybe the Big 12 will try and patch itself back together with TCU or a combo of a couple of other schools. Dan Bebee deserves a lot of credit as the commissioner that kept the conference from complete destruction. As part of the deal, Texas gets their own TV network and a truckload of money to boot. After all, money was the number one reason why the conference realignment began.
Expect the Pac 10 to invite Utah to join. They need to get a 12th team to maintain balance and get the even number that they want. So the madness seems to be over, for now!
