If no more additions could mean a battle between pac 12 and big 12 for survival.

I know many see the big 12 as this super stable conference for some reason. I hope they are right and the big 12 wins out. I think their best chance is acting now while the pac12 is reeling. They should also go after the easiest targets ffirst- the Arizona schools. If they delay or focus on the most difficult targets UO and UW they may end up losing to the pac 10 who has better, brands, population, and schools.

Signs point to ND staying independent, and doing so until they lose access to NC

All the SEC/B10 need to do is refuse to play ND till they get in. Problem solved

Not a chance Michigan, Michigan State, Purdue and USC agree to that.

7/4/22 10:56pm

The real good news out of that is that B1G and $EC can’t control the playoff

7/4/22 10:51pm

Ugh... ND not joining the B1G helps yewtah... Then UO and UW are on the docket with the B1G and makes yewtah more likely

Maybe. More likely than not, but not MUCH more likely than not.

They lose access to North Carolina if they end their ACC agreement.

I agree, and have a ND source (admittedly not a ridiculously well-connected one)

Here's the thing I have to respect about ND - it's really not about the money for them

I don't think the BIG expands w/o ND. Nobody else adds enough value to the mix.

I hope to heck you're right, AND I hope that's made known to all parties before

IMHO, there are only four teams from the PAC to consider. WA, OR, ASU and

I think only ASU is interested in the big 12 from those 4. I think it would be

The first moves need to be about survival. The pac 12 sitll has better brands

I think their Presidents and ADs are interested in not ending up in the MWC.

Bring it down? have you looked at the teams in the big 12? The AZ schools and

I don't think anybody here is thinking the Big12 is superior at anything.

7/5/22 12:05am

There is a 0% chance the 4 schools the big 12 gets are Stanford, UO, UW, and ASU
