Mitty Intervention Needed

It's possible we are all overlooking the possibility of the PAC staying

together at 10 and sitting tight for now. But it's going to take OR and UW doing some convincing to the others not to jump ship, because if those two leave in a couple years and the Big 12 fills up with ACC leftovers then the mountain teams are going to be pissed.

Interesting. It would be great to pry almost anyone away from PAC to put

I think most PAC schools look down on the Big 12, not just athletically but

I agree. I feel like AZ schools are slightly less snobby. Grab them first

Their alliance is nothing more than try to grasp at straws

I mean...I think any team would drop their conference for the B1G/SEC. That's not unique to Oregon & Washington

Yep. If even one more school jumps ship, it's over

How much weight should I put on a reporter’s “guess” over actual reporting?

Some. His guess is better than most re: PAC 12.

JoeExotic

Normally I'd agree, but I think he's a little bit tied to this one personally

"Guess" means he's reading the tea leaves based on comments that have been made,

Wilner is a top source for the PAC12, so it's something worth considering

I think they'd prefer to stay in the PAC too...until the Big12 takes the AZs.

This gives the Arizonas some solid leverage

BigXII can call their bluff. Make them a reasonable offer

I don't think the AZs want to leave the PAC 12 if UO/UW are staying.

JoeExotic

7/6/22 9:54am

I don't think the AZs feel any loyalty to Oregon or Washington

2FarGone

7/6/22 9:58am

True. They are about to lose their SoCal recruiting pipeline. Focus on TX now

jrifkin48

7/6/22 10:00am

It isn't about loyalty. I think they genuinely believe the P12 with UO and UW

JoeExotic

7/6/22 10:00am

Their judgement is clouded by the fact they're now the flagship of Pac12, replacing USC. Problem is that pride will

This is why if Or or UW try to get other Pac schools to state their loyalty,

Mitty

They can do that for sure. Just means their days are numbered and UO and UW are biding time.

7/6/22 9:58am

Seeming very likely the P12 stays together and adds 2 teams.

JoeExotic

7/6/22 9:58am

If they can add big 12 teams they will. If not I think they stay at 10. Won't

I could see the PAC merging with the ACC. But then the BIG and SEC would strike

Agree when Ore and UW see the media estimate and see they're at the bottom of P5

Big Wally D

They'd be dumb to not add SDSU & UNLV immediately

I don’t like this. Pac12 schools enjoy the smell of their farts just enough to

The thing about Wilner's tweets is that you're going to get the PAC perspective

You take the 4 schools, they replace with low level programs

Dr T-bone

But every time they do that their media value drops again

all the BIG XII needs is to get one or two PAC Schools then the dominoes start

Bottom line: If P12 $ is significantly less than B12 $ teams will move...

lbmango

Yup

runningryan

7/6/22 11:18am

if you use the Navigate data, it is about $12M a year per school difference

7/6/22 1:48pm

Add on the fact that if the Pac 12 has to do unequal revenue sharing to keep them
