The ACC, BIG and PAC cannot afford to let the Big12 reconstitute.

4 power conferences makes the coming playoff expansion way simpler and more predictable for dividing up the spoils.

The current power players have no interest in adding mouths to the trough.

It’s pretty simple: BYU needs to beat out 2 of the 5 remaining Big12 schools

But why do they have to go to 16 to just go to 16...never understood that myself

Agreed and they aren’t going to add teams to dilute revenue and make trips to

Seems like the Pac would judge BYU, Baylor, and TCU similarly right? I like our odds from that

Utah versus Texas? This is ultimately about consumers & dinero, unfortunately.

No. TCU is no longer governed by Disciples of Christ

And they were never nearly as closely monitored by an Ecclesiastical body.

Yep...how does the PAC get to 16 without completely diluting their product....

If the Big 12 bcms the sacrificial cow, yeah, your bleak picture seems right.

I agree the BIG may poach USC and perhaps another PAC team.

For sure. I do think we'd be perceived as financially redundant

Or the Utes pull rank and say they don’t want another in-state program added

I doubt that's even a top-5 issue in our continued spurning.

As much as I hate to admit it, this is sound analysis

Reasonable analysis and I think BYU & TCU get left out under that scenario.

I think TCU to B1G is more likely than ISU

TCU wouldn't be their choice if they're in it for branding sake.

ACC will NEVER take WVU, KU and KSU cannot be split up.
