Honestly at this point would it make sense to merge the Big12 and PAC12?

Create western and eastern divisions, or further break down into pods.

I understand the two conferences would have a bit of a culture clash, but when it comes down to it they all are just seeking money. Given the current state of the PAC-12, I feel like it would be the Big12 officials staying in power, absorbing the PAC12

Utes thing the Pac-12 will add Big 12 schools. this seems to put that in doubt.

If a Big 12 school is dumb enough to join there, well.....

This is apparent. The officialUtah statement said nothing about pac12 solidarity

Makes sense. Bowlsby needs to endure to the end and snag UW, UO, ASU, and CU.

Endure to the end? This seems familiar somehow

Yep. I think Oregon and Wash are most likely Big10, but we do not know. So you

If we are to believe the reports, B10 not looking to add anyone else from P12

If B1G really doesn't want them, then B12 should target those 2 plus Arizona St

Sad that we just now added a new commissioner. Bad timing for this to be going

This can’t be true…I’ve been told that the PAC is able to draw BIGXII teams in

He is spot on here. You wonder why the PAC12 and ACC voted against CFP expansion

16-team is the future either way. And the money is better in the SEC and B10, either way.

Do conferences ever cordially merge? Usually one just eats the other, taking

Because the conference is motivated to serve the conference, not the schools.
