PAC was mortally wounded today by this one quote from McMurphy

PAC seems to be pretty much done. Unless those targeted schools don’t

The beautiful thing is I don't have to worry about this or care anymore because we're in the Big12 now

I agree to a point, but with the P2 looming, I wouldn't exactly say no worries.

I hope the B1G only takes the California schools.

Bluedomination

So apparently there are pro rata expansion escalators in the contracts which means the B1G knows exactly how much it

If Stanford can somehow not be part of the Big10 that would be great. They take

They already suck in the pac 12 and that doesn’t seem to bother recruits

Yes and No, I can't see Stanford or Cal competing regularly in FB in the BIG

Stanford will get eaten alive in the B1G. They will go back to football obscurity more quickly this route.

But they are still Stanford and provide an incredible education.

Cougar TD

Nobody cared about that elite education until Harbaugh turned it around

He elevated it for sure, but I still think they will be a thorn for BYU if they

Only if they can get back to winning. Athletes aren't lining up to play for Vandy

Exactly. Can’t even compete in the Pac12. Big10 will humiliate them.

Is a wounded PAC still their best option?

I said it earlier, I'll say it again. Big 12 should only accept application from

Big 12 is in the cat bird seat and can wait for options to come to it

Kliavkoff, Why is the BIG12 doing this to us

Coug

Warren just lobbed an H Bomb next to those Big 12 grenades

runningryan

Maybe the B10 is waiting for the B12 to Poach P10 schools?

Also perhaps invalidates any withdrawal fees as conference collapses.

Florwood

Very good point

runningryan

So we have a temporary B1G : BIG12 Alliance?

I think OU and UW would accept a reduced piece of the pie now but you are right

I don't see the urgency to make a move within 2 weeks

Happy As Larry

Gave Utah every bit of consideration they deserved and found them lacking.

TrueBlue67

Problem is that corner schools think they have an open invitation to the Big12

That is certainly a wild card in all this

BYU and B12 fans need to Jimmer the ratings for a couple of Big 12 OOC games

Their negotiating value drops once they have no viable conference. (Obviously)
