This is from Saturday. There is a uniform comment form his at the end as well.
Seattle Times: AD Believes both Big Ten/Pac 10 Have Talked to Texas and aTm
WOODWARD TALKS --- Just finished a pre-game interview with athletic director Scott Woodward and we addressed a variety of issues.
He said hosting ESPN's College GameDay show doesn't make the school any more money than a normal game. In fact, the expenses are a little higher.
Said Woodward: "Is it a budget buster? No. For the exposure you get, it is a great bargain."
He said the ESPN producers have enjoyed their time so much that "they were to the point of scouting for GameDay for football."
Woodward also talked about expansion and said the Pac-10 and the Big Ten have reached out to officials at Texas and Texas A&M. "I'd be surprised if our office is not in contact with them," he said. "I'm sure those conversations have happened and are taking place."
When asked if the league might expand beyond two teams, Woodward said that's a possibility. "It could be two, four or a merger of Big 12. ... There's a theory that at the end of the day there's only going to be four super conferences. Now that it's going to look like, God only knows."
Woodward said football coach Steve Sarkisian is entertaining the idea of wearing an alternative black jersey, but quickly added that nothing is in the works.
Oh , hell no.

Seattle is pretty far removed from any other baseball city. I think they're stuck traveling longer than most regardless.
