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

When Nebraska leaves the Big 12 Conference this week, so too will Texas Tech, Texas and Texas A&M, a high-ranking university official told the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal.

The official told the paper that those three Texas universities have vowed to stick together through any major conference upheaval, which -- according to multiple reports from reputable newspapers across the country -- Nebraska will trigger this week.

The University of Texas, along with Tech and A&M, would likely join the Pacific-10 Conference, according to the source.
