You make it sound like they persued the PAC...

When in reality the PAC persued them heavily...they may have listened/talked...the PAC preemptively took Colorado in hopes of making it happen and so they wouldn't have to take a religious school in Baylor. They turned it down...not sure how much they really even considered the way over playing of the hand by the PAC...and then the PAC had to settle for lowly Utah...

Nobody saw Texas and OK's betrayal of the BIGXII coming, Nobody really believes

My Pie-in-the-sky scenario.

BlueVU

Not sure we need Arizona and Boise.

6/16/22 9:44am

I just want them to get to 16 teams so that Utah has a harder time getting in. Not enough slots.

BlueVU

6/16/22 9:51am

I used to think USC enjoys being the big dog and always wants to be the big dog

6/16/22 9:44am

They will. They are already throwing around weight and getting what they want

Sic'Em

Unfortunately, Utah has more than proved themselves worthy of big boy status.

Sparkling Delirium

6/16/22 9:45am

Wait, so you think the team that was considered P5 before they were in a P5 gets left out?

2FarGone

Yup. Call it battered cougar syndrome. I'm not always glass half empty, but

"Hedge Betting. Emotional Self Reliance Strategies for Fans". I want a copy 😉

6/16/22 11:05am

I'll send you a copy. As an aside,for the last decade I have wanted to put money

You have unlocked 1/2 the keys to sports happiness

Kevin Arnold

It's like movies. I tell people Top Gun was... ~OK. Check it out.

6/16/22 12:01pm

What tha what?

Sic'Em

6/16/22 2:43pm

You mean to tell me I'm not normal? Shocked face. As an aside, read the board

Sparkling Delirium

6/16/22 3:07pm

Yeah, I think Army gets left out despite being considered P5

Ideally Boise jumps on the BigXII bandwagon before Utah even gets the chance, and then Utah is the least desirable of

BlueVU

They can go independent

This is silly, college football isn't a meritocracy.

tacallaway

I’m a hack

6/16/22 3:47pm

Is their audience really that big? I'm not sure it is.

Belboz

6/16/22 1:03pm

Yeah...but can they do a big boy entrance to start the game?

OldFogey

6/16/22 1:29pm

You still think it’s based on merit and proving worthy? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Utah would probably

6/16/22 3:43pm

I'll always remember the day that my little brother became a big boy.

VenomFarmer

6/16/22 4:01pm

I would think UNLV has more potential (read: money to the conference) than BSU.

panacablue

6/16/22 9:46am

Except their entire football history is devoid of any success.

ldssdl

6/16/22 9:49am

UNLV has no potential. They have sucked their entire history

Hotlanta

6/16/22 11:21am

Everything looks good except Cal slides in with utah as a travel partner

coot20

6/16/22 9:48am

Actually, Utah goes

6/16/22 9:49am

I would want Utah with us in the Big 12 in that scenario instead of Boise. If

BlooCoog

6/16/22 1:20pm

I would prefer USC and UCLA go to B12. to get to 16 Stanford and Ore.

You are showing either your ignorance or naivety.

Love Cougs

6/16/22 3:52pm

My scenario is all programs go to heaven, but Utah program goes somewhere else

Hill4Heisman

6/16/22 5:46pm

Cal should head to the WAC

hdx57

6/17/22 9:59am

Much more likely for USC

2FarGone

6/16/22 9:44am

Really? I think lots of people saw TX and OK leaving.

JAGA97

6/16/22 9:44am

Especially since they talked to the P12 in 2009 and were serious about leaving way back then

6/16/22 9:47am

You make it sound like they persued the PAC...

BYUFam1

6/16/22 10:00am

They did.

6/16/22 11:17am

That article does not state anything like what you claim

BYUFam1

6/16/22 2:13pm

They were messing with the p12 in order to get everything they wanted in the

Sic'Em

6/17/22 5:39pm

No one saw them leaving at the time they did.

rainorsnow

6/16/22 9:50am

Move to where?

TNT

6/16/22 9:48am

Tijuana?

NYC and Japan

6/16/22 9:54am

Seems like the only realistic option

TNT

6/16/22 9:55am

RE: Tijuana?

BlueVU

6/16/22 9:56am

Oregon & Washington won't go anywhere w/o their lesser state schools and both won't go anywhere w/o the Cali

6/16/22 10:03am

That didn't stop Oklahoma. Money talks.

fresnoa

6/16/22 11:15am

OK had A&M already in the SEC and TX joined them. Plus both schools were losing recruits who wanted

6/16/22 11:29am

Everyone was saying there was zero chance OU would leave OK State behind, that

6/17/22 11:09am

For years, realignmentologists contended that there was no way Oklahoma would

Doogal McCougar

6/16/22 5:52pm

Why? Why would they leave? The horrible TV contract expires in '24.

flyzag

6/16/22 10:04am

Some on this board forget that the Pac-12 once led the country in media $$$

reddead

6/16/22 10:31am

The B1G and SEC have already permanently separated. It’s them and everyone else.

Baylorbears11

6/16/22 11:44am

I think the B1G would certainly like us to believe that...

reddead

6/16/22 12:01pm

The ACC powers can't afford to wait until 2035 to get even. That contract is

This is going to work in our favor if the sec and big

Stanford and cal won’t get the big 10 invite

trigg3r

6/16/22 11:06am

Cal is up there with Stanford academically

runningryan

6/16/22 1:33pm

$500M divided by 8 = $62.5M per school; $500M divided by 12 = $41.6M per school

Doogal McCougar

6/16/22 6:02pm

Have you factored in the exit fees needed to be paid to the remaining schools?

runningryan

6/17/22 9:24am

I have not. First, the PAC has no exit fees, just a grant of rights through 2024

Doogal McCougar

6/17/22 9:28am

They would raid the B12 and B12 teams would jump at the opportunity.

ochobeeguy

6/16/22 12:16pm

Without usc, Oregon, ucla and UW?

GlutealGuy

6/16/22 12:20pm

Exactly- PAC minus USC/OR/UW is not a juggernaut

RE: They would raid the B12 and B12 teams would jump at the opportunity.

IceBlue

6/16/22 12:43pm

Ultimately I think it is much more likely the B1G and PAC merge

runningryan

6/16/22 2:59pm

This seems incredibly unlikely to me

tacallaway

6/16/22 6:04pm

Because sometimes you have to make concessions for political and legal reasons

runningryan

6/16/22 8:31pm

That has not been the trend in college football.
