Would create an epic basketball conference.

Yorkark operating with the belief basketball will be a much more significant revenue driver in the future. I personally think they already have enough basketball brands on board to be the #1 basketball conference for the foreseeable future. Would much rather prefer they solidify football and go hard after FSU, Clemson, Miami and Virginia Tech. If Uconn and Gonzaga want to join for basketball ONLY I am all for it. Dont need a doormat football program in Uconn joining though.

4 major conferences sounds about right.

The Pac 12 2 is back from the dead.

The Pac-12 is poaching four Mountain West schools to join Oregon State and Washington State in an effort to preserve the league. Boise State, San Diego State, Colorado State and Fresno State applied for Pac-12 membership and all have been accepted, the conference announced on Thursday. They will officially become Pac-12 members on July 1, 2026.

Looks like a nice mid-major conference that the PAC-(insert random number) is building.

The ACC/Big 12/the Pac Whatever will eventually merge after the SEC and Big 10 take the schools they want from those respective conferences.

The ACC is the only one remaining with schools of any real value to them. Maybe a Big 12 school or two might get lucky and get invited. The Pac 6 has no chance to get poached.

I still feel like, geographically speaking, 5 was a great number.

The Big12 and Big10 cover 'flyover country' extremely well, SEC the south, ACC the Northeast, PAC the West.

4 just has those conferences too spread out, IMO.

It's a real big country, lads. 4 conferences covering the whole smash is asking a lot.

6 PAC or BrokePacMountain?

They still need to get to 8 by 2026 to be considered a conference though. 12 to hold a conference championship game(although could probably get a waiver for 10 schools like the Big12 did).

Maybe they get Stanford and Cal back as well as add SMU after the ACC gets picked apart.

Stanford and Cal are so full of their academic prestige that I can't see them associating themselves with the academically inferior California State schools.
