Other than potential increased revenue, what incentive does a PAC12 team have to

Do you remember the BigEast? The incentive is to not be them.

The best of the big east leftovers have finally clawed their way back up.

Yes, but several of them have been left behind.

More will get left behind when the ACC is raided

Nat Gas Man

Perhaps, but that is likely years away. And there is enough of them that even if

They could lose 12 members to Big, SEC and B12. This is going towards a p3

Time will tell. A GOR until 2035-36 gives a ton of time though.

Gentleman Stan

I think they let it ride and then all the schools will want Sec and B10 $$$$.

I was thinking about them the other day. Who is better - old Big East or new Pac

Pac 12 with Oregon and UW but if those 2 leave then it doesn't matter who is

Revenue is the only reason needed. They have a spending problem.

Mister P

Perhaps fear that Oregon and Washington will eventually bail as well

I have serious doubts that OR will ever have anywhere to go but the B12

You lost me at "Other than potential increased revenue"

Team Chaos

It's potentially A LOT more money. If Washington and Oregon are holding out for unequal distribution, the rest of them

Which would mean not only being at a competitive disadvantage to all other P5

The Pac _ _ won't get an autobid if they don't have UO and UW.

LeftOfNormal

1/31/23 2:24pm

Yep also if OU and UW go to the big 10, the Big 12 will only take at max 4

johnnybyu

Nobody gets an autobid, it's just the top 6 conference champions

cougarmeister

How's this...without UO/UW, PAC8 = AAC/MWC. Is that better?

TrueBlue67

They might lose their A5 status

Nat Gas Man

They will not make the cut to P4.

Being in a conference poised to get stronger, rather than one that appears to be

All teams besides UofO and UW could potentially be left behind. If or when those

Long Term Viability is the answer.

Playoff expansion means your odds of getting a playoff bid could be greater..

Put it this way-- other than increased revenue, why would USC and UCLA join the

Socrates Johnson

The amount of revenue Pac12->Big12 /= Pac12->Big10. Huge difference.

SausageKing

Sure but you wanted to ask about reasons "other than revenue" which is and will
