My guess is that the B1G doesn't want to be the sole reason for the demise of the pac12. Their TV contract has built in options for expansion from what I've read.

I still think the B1G is going after one or both of those.

Probably, but are they going to sit and flounder in the new PAC10 until that invite comes?

Its pronounced PAC 8.

I would have to think conversations are going on though.

That could be. However, USC & UCLA are likely pushing hard for...

One other possibility for the B1G is to continue to woo ND and then wait until

This would be my choice as a B1G school alum. UO and UW will always be available

I would hope the Big 12 would require a long and prohibitive GOR for them.

Bluforever

10/26/22 3:51pm

I would. Those are both huge brands that would increase the collective worth of the B12

Sure anything is possible, but it’s more likely that UW and O leave for b10.

This and Utah being left out are equally as likely.
