I can't think of any reason why they would change their minds.

Is it possible that PAC-12 schools hop to Big 12?

I doubt they go that direction...perhaps a merger between the two

Nat Gas Man

That is another possibility I considered.

6/20/17 10:08am

But would WVU approve USC...I mean, that's a big travel issue for them.

I think in any growth scenario, WVU leaves to ACC as part of a mutual agreement

(Private)

For sure. It was mostly a TIC comment (after last year).

ACCN might, might be a small reason. Because of the DC market

Nat Gas Man

Doesn't ACC have DC covered with Virginia and NC schools?

With the loss of Maryland, I don't think UVA will give enough coverage...maybe

Most zip codes in the Northern Virginia area list VA Tech as #1 and UVA as #2

Serious Question: How much more money for WVU to travel to USC versus going to

Lubbock is easier because of chartered flights and Southwest connections IMO

USC doesnt really need money. 0 chance they leave the California schools for

They wouldn't have to leave all the schools. Likely they will take Stanford

(Private)

6/20/17 10:26am

They both have a nationwide recruiting bases. They could care less about having

Josef K

6/20/17 10:31am

If they want some Texas recruiting, the PAC will add Big 12 schools

boscatar

6/20/17 10:40am

Not a chance.

I understand the academics argument. Solid in the PAC 12.

How much money has Colorado lost? 100 mil?

youngbuck

6/20/17 10:18am

Link? I think you are vastly overestimating those numbers.

Josef K

6/20/17 10:29am

TV money is just part of the equation

boscatar

6/20/17 10:30am

It doesn't have to leave alone, it could take as many as 5 teams with them..

(Private)

6/20/17 11:37am

It would be the other way around, no? PAC brings on B12 schools

boscatar

6/20/17 12:00pm

I could see the B1G poach some of the PAC

boscatar

6/20/17 10:33am

The PAC in that scenario is Utah, WSU, ASU, and OSU.

6/20/17 10:42am

I'd take a conference that gets us the Utah rivalry over Thanksgiving and

boscatar

6/20/17 10:49am

B1G & Big12 fans don't want to watch confer games that start at 10:00/9:00 ET/CT

ptcougr

6/20/17 2:53pm

No.

displacedute

6/20/17 10:39am

I think it's more likely to see more independents than the P12 dissolving

Thug Mormons

6/20/17 10:46am

This is an interesting point, what about the formation of a mini-conference

(Private)

6/20/17 11:39am

That's an option too!

Thug Mormons

6/20/17 12:03pm

The Arizona schools would be the most likely candidates

Cougarpride

6/20/17 10:47am

I would agree they would be the easiest to poach.

(Private)

6/20/17 11:40am

The AZ schools love recruiting CA but dislike the CA-centric attitude.Doubt they

Cause they wouldn't want to join "flyover" states

Not happening. I highly doubt the next deal will be very favorable to the B12.

mwcoug

6/20/17 11:26am

It would if they added valuable teams from the Pac 12, look...

(Private)

6/20/17 11:44am

If anything, the Pac12 will add teams from the Big 12

mwcoug

6/20/17 1:14pm

I won't be shocked if the Pac12 goes hard after UT and OU

mwcoug

6/20/17 2:33pm

most pac12 fans i know are pissed about their TV situation. And it doesn't look like it's getting better

Yeah, doing nothing always fixes problems....

PAC-12 abandoned the unequal revenue sharing model when it expanded

fleaman

6/20/17 12:56pm

Evidence is the mounting frustration with the current deal

(Private)

6/20/17 1:06pm

Before current P12 deal the P10 lagged in TV revenue. It's not new.

fleaman

6/20/17 8:58pm

Not the school presidents.

PAC-12 is overrated.

No, because this more closely describes the Big 12:

Have you read articles about P12 network? they are also a dumpster fire...

(Private)

6/20/17 2:03pm

Most P12 schools (shoot, most schools, period) are not as money driven as UT
