a lot of it depends upon what TX and USC want to do. If they merged the GOR for the B12 could be done away with, especially since it is the same networks that broadcast both conferences. The LHN isn't as big of a deal to get around in a few years as people think.

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

That is another possibility I considered.

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)

6/20/17 12:58pm

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

BYUHgrad

WVU is in the Big 12 because the ACC didn't want them.

Everyman

6/20/17 2:20pm

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

Nat Gas Man

6/20/17 2:23pm

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

boscatar

6/20/17 2:31pm

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

(Private)

6/20/17 2:04pm

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

Josef K

6/20/17 10:12am

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.

Everyman

6/20/17 10:15am

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

(Private)

6/20/17 10:28am

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.

displacedute

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

cdr88

6/20/17 1:52pm

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

6/20/17 12:56pm

Yeah, doing nothing always fixes problems....

(Private)

6/20/17 1:00pm

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.

Everyman

6/20/17 9:48pm

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
