Because Oregon and UW

A merge seems more likely than taking on all but two schools, especially when those two schools are essentially paired with the top two PAC12 schools.

I also think it's good to have a couple week conference opponents to give some scheduling relief

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

I'm guessing Oregon and Washington try to follow USC/UCLA to the B1G, and I

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

Not bad unless Bowlsby is checked out. Bowlsby knows this song and dance about

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.

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

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

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