It all hinges on Oregon and Washington. If the south teams think UO and UW are stuck in the PAC they stay. If they think they are out then the south teams will look for a landing spot

If the B12 were smart they would extend invitations to every relevant P12 team

They absolutely need to be aggressive. Kill the PAC. If they can secure being #3

You can kill the PAC without taking all of them. Keep the flexibility to expand with ACC if the B1G or SEC make moves

I think smarter to brand it as a sort of MERGER than a kill.

I don’t know if a merger is good for the overall product. How much do Wazzu and

Exactly, not all PAC schools, just the cream.

Kill it! It's dog eat dog now. The B10 and SEC are going after Clemson, FSU,

...Big 10 and SEC.... proceed.

Thanks! The B12 having 10 and the B10 having 14 just doesn't register in my head

This is what killed the WAC though. So there is some need to be careful and do

The WAC was the first Super Conference and that "newness" is what killed it. Now

As I understand it….

I guarantee you the PAC 10 orphans are talking to everyone and anyone to see

Why can't they reach out?

It's why Bob Bowlsby had so much to say about ESPN in the OU and UT move.

Difference is they have significantly less leverage. Especially if Ore/Wash go.

TerpCoug

7/1/22 7:46am

The PAC has way more potential if UO and UW stay

Charles Darwin

7/1/22 7:49am

That’s a massive if at this point.

Nobody is making a move until they know

Charles Darwin

They don’t. That’s why usc and ucla left. Their tv markets don’t pay. They

The TV viewership for the remaining PAC teams isn't notably worse than for the remaining Big 12

krindorr

The bottom line is their deal pays $22mil less - no teams of note will go there

Horacio Caine

7/1/22 9:48am

Both teams are renegotiating right now; honestly it's going to be the networks' call

krindorr

7/1/22 10:24am

They lack leverage, they have to negotiate their media contract next.

7/1/22 7:56am

Organizationally, that's a big jump from where the conference is now

teancum

I think the opposite now… no one wants to deal with the ultra militant wokenes…

Pretty sure those conversations will be happening today.

Low trust is the current driver

Big XII needs to secure the AZ schools immediately. Then see if they can get UW

BYUtka

7/1/22 7:56am

Agree with adding AZ schools ASAP. But,

7/1/22 8:22am

The AZ move would be important to show stability and further disrupt the PAC.

I'm not sure Utah pushed USC out...

1000% this is the wise course of action

Take ASU NOT U of A. They are a horrible football school and Tucson is small.

scorpiondynamo

7/1/22 8:48am

Addin U of A would make b12 basketball even better,

Kolipoki

7/1/22 8:53am

I mean Tucson has 500,000+ people and a metro area of 1,000,000+. Not exactly tiny.

Adding the pair makes more sense than adding just just one. Unless you have one

BYUtka

7/1/22 9:03am

I say Ore and WA, maybe ASU and AZ and go for FSU, Miami, and Clemson, promise

Forget the political garbage of Wa and OR let them figure out their own mess.

How could you not have a seat at the table when you have every south western

If the Big12 is smart they will have done research on almost all schools when
