To join the remaining members, that is by far the 5th best conference. So unstable or not, it is a huge upgrade over wherever those schools would be playing otherwise.

To me it seems there is a demand on the table. The conference has to

There is no demand on the table, not that the conference can do anything about

The B12 needs to start extending invites immediately to save itself

Pete Thamel agrees…

Arizona and ASU ain;t going. Maybe if Texas and OU stayed, but not now.

Agree… raiding of PAC teams does not happen unless something occurs to shake up

Samurai Jack

Nobody from an existing P5 conference is joining the B12

Why not Nebraska?

Because it's a $25M/yr pay cut

I agree but I think they need to decide to go East or West

Who is going to join right now?

Coug

Anyone not in a P5 conference

CaliWG

In an instable conference? You couldn't get a MAC team to join right now.

No Memphis please.

I get it, but Memphis owns its market and has huge upside

There are much better options than Memphis

The ones you listed:BYU, UCF, Cincy, Boise, and Houston + COst, SDST, UNLV

More then just Texas and OU are leaving... Bank on it

Coug

Agreed. But none of the other brands are significantly better than the elite G5s
