Andy Staples believes any Big 12 team would want to jump to the PAC12 (if UO and UW stay there)

That may actually be true but the PAC simply can’t guarantee they will be there

The Big and SEC will be hovering over the other three A5 conferences.

Not to mention that the money probably won't be much different

At the very least I'd imagine WVU, Cincy, UCF would say no

"Loose partnership?" Is that like joint custody after a divorce?

Remember, this is a conference that has no qualms with cancelling a football season nor having schools in states

He's wrong. P12 makes less money and their woke administrators make them unwanted partners.

And the Pac12 has an attendance problem. Their fans don't travel and their

I think he's right. Most fans feel more comfortable with what they want than reality substantiates. B12 fans, PAC fans,

Name one advantage a Big12 school would have to leave and join the Pac12.

IF the Big 12 has a big $ advantage, there's no way a Big 12 team leaves for PAC12

The numbers reported were going to be close before UCLA and USC left. That

Rise Against

Absolutely... per that source, it's not close

Disagree strongly. He likes PAC12 brand so trying to support it maybe?

Does he like the PAC brand? He's from Florida, went to Florida, covered SEC and Texas and his schtick is liking BBQ

The "experts" are throwing out crap and hoping something sticks.

Yeah that's kind of my point. Well-connected people are saying lots of contradictory stuff

This is really a proxy war between Fox and ESPN

I listen to his podcast, I like him but I don’t think he has any inside

The Big12 has a better future than the PAC12 due to politics in their geographic

I wouldn’t trust that UW and ORE would stay. Not worth the risk for any B12 uni.

makes no sense if the leagues make the same amount (what everyone is saying)

here's to hoping

7/7/22 7:21am

BIG12 is better in basketball and football. Why would they leave?

Heath Squashwell

And if they leave, they forfeit the UT/OU money, if they decide to leave early.

7/7/22 9:20am

100% agreed. Big 12 schools love wokeness of the Pac10 schools and want more...

Seems odd this would be true. Both UO and UW have their bags packed.
