Agree with adding AZ schools ASAP. But,

And yes, if OR and UW want to join (probably not) then take them. I do think that CO has a lot to offer — even though they have completely crapped the bed since the scandal two decades ago. They 'have history' in the B12. That said, I see them trying to stick with OR and UW (+ Cal and Stanford).

As a BYU fan, I would NOT take uu. The B12 would benefit from taking uu (10 years as a 'p5' school has upped their perceived importance).

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.

7/1/22 7:44am

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.

The PAC is thinking the same thing about the Big 12

7/1/22 7:45am

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

7/1/22 7:49am

That’s a massive if at this point.

7/1/22 7:51am

Nobody is making a move until they know

7/1/22 7:52am

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

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.

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

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

Pretty sure those conversations will be happening today.

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.

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

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.
