PAC 12 and Big 12 merger? Meeting happening today.

immacougar

8/3/21 10:17am

Of course.

8/3/21 10:18am

Death, taxes, and crappy things happening to BYU

Backcountry

8/3/21 10:18am

BYU is gonna get screwed

Backcountry

8/3/21 10:18am

Yep. Both a merger or a scheduling agreement would be bad news for BYU.

immacougar

8/3/21 10:26am

At that point the only way BYU could survive as indy would be for ESPN to set up a scheduling agreement between BYU and

runningryan

8/3/21 10:43am

ESPN is not our friend

Backcountry

8/3/21 10:47am

They are when it comes to scheduling. They don't want to pay us more, but they want us to have games that will draw eyes

Fallball

8/3/21 10:52am

This is a given.

Kavorka

8/3/21 10:34am

I'm not sure how many more data points we need to show the major conferences

This is the absolute worst possible scenario for BYU

LiveCoug

8/3/21 10:18am

Again? The absolute worst was 10

8/3/21 10:19am

And because this is the absolute worst possible scenario for BYU

LiveCoug

8/3/21 10:20am

Agree. But I doubt the PAC is interested in any merger/alliance with all of the

rocker

8/3/21 10:22am

Yep. If PAC wants any at all, it would only be a couple & rest are kicked to curb.

Soupie

8/3/21 10:24am

Well that’s not good for us.

Oh lovely

I don't see what is in it for the PAC12.

a priori

8/3/21 10:19am

Correct. The PAC 12 would not benefit financially by taking any of the remaining Big 12 schools.

Conan

8/3/21 10:21am

PAC gets several quality programs in the only sports that matter and maybe

8/3/21 10:25am

PAC 12's better move is to get an OOC scheduling alliance with the B1G

Doogal McCougar

8/3/21 10:38am

Are all big 12 colleges tier 1 research institutions?

8/3/21 10:19am

TCU and Baylor are not

Tare

8/3/21 10:26am

That rule only applies to BYU

El Careeb

8/3/21 10:27am

They going to make it the PAC 20? Or will they trim some bottom feeders?

Powerbait DPM

8/3/21 10:20am

Probably discussing BYUs entrance to the Big12 and how the Pac12 can still

thewaterboy

8/3/21 10:26am

I bet they are meeting to discuss how much

8/3/21 10:28am

BYU MUST be part of this agreement. Four games a year with each conference.

AF Cougar

8/3/21 10:28am

BYU needs bowl access as well

mncstr

8/3/21 10:52am

Discussion will be how to move forward after their defections...

BruceBruce

8/3/21 10:28am

Is there any credence to those P12 teams being picked off?

Dr T-bone

8/3/21 10:33am

I doubt anything happens

8/3/21 10:30am

A few good B12 programs remaining, but don't see much benefit for P12

Dr T-bone

8/3/21 10:31am

With the landscape shifting like it is there are lots of things to discuss that

Scratch

8/3/21 10:31am

I get that, but the tweet is specifically mentioning a merger or scheduling

cougarfan84

8/3/21 10:35am

Pac 12 doesnt want any of their teams poached

WJCougar

8/3/21 10:32am

Why would the PAC12 throw a lifeline to the Orphaned 8? They would likely rather

8/3/21 10:33am

Keep in mind the B1G could poach the PAC of USC, Stanford, UCLA, Cal, WA, and Oregon.

runningryan

8/3/21 10:38am

B12-PAC scheduling alliance would be wonderful if BYU gets B12 invite

Doogal McCougar

8/3/21 10:41am

I could see Kliavkoff wanting (drooling) to add Kansas basketball, but that’s it

Housemartin

8/3/21 10:43am

I'm not convinced. He made comments at media day that the top priority for the

cougarfan84

8/3/21 10:59am

I'm guessing the delusional little 8 presidents are insisting

Bowlsby mentioned yesterday they needed to explore options like this before they
