0% chance teams are leaving the alliance to play in a circling the bowl conference.

Delusional MU fans are the best.

Like I said, I was surprised to read that in the article.

Can only happen if the B1G raids the PAC.

A well paid jobber is still just a jobber.

I think it’s in the B1Gs court on which conference they give the death blow. Do they add Iowa State and Kansas and the PAC invites whenever and probably the ACC as well to all get to 16. Or does the B1G invite PAC schools the the Big12 get some leftovers. If the B1G raids the PAC they are likely going past 16 to 18 or 20 which opens the door for other conferences to follow. It just depends on how strong their verbal alliance is lol.

Or does everyone decide to stay at P5.

This is what I see now since the B12 didn't go to B16 when the chance for doing so now presented itself. I expect things will all calm down now for another 10-15 years.

Honestly if the PAC and the Big 12 combined and dropped the dead weight they would all make more money.

Why lug around Oregon State, Cal, Washington State, K-State?

The juggernauts of a Pac 12 and Big 12 would make more money per school and it would expand their media footprint.

Other than Texas and Oklahoma, Kansas makes the most revenue in the Big 12 followed by West Virginia. That is just revenue. They are HUGELY profitable due to CBB as well.

They’ve said they haven’t ruled out adding more teams closer to media negotiations. I think there will definitely be more movement in the next 2-3 years. That’s about the timeline other conferences would look to expand as well.

It sounds like the Big12 is going to be a 14 team conference for a few years and they may add two more to replace OuuT when they officially leave.

Or they leave early, but they can’t say they that now. And it helps the Big12’s case against them to “plan” on them being here.

This.

Apparently the basis for this idea is that the future Big 12’s media deal after 2025 will be bigger than the Pac 12’s new media deal?

There is no way that is happening.

Just the presence of UCLA and USC alone in the Pac 12 makes it a more valuable conference in terms of media rights.

IMHO it would be a mistake to wait. If there are valuable schools out there to be had, better to get them now and not risk them going to a more secure conference.

Um wat?


There's no value to be found anywhere that won't lie with Division I FBS's alignment once UT and OU shift to the SEC.

That game of musical chairs ended 10 years ago -if not even earlier-. OU and UT would ultimately be fine in any of the ACC/BIG/B12/PAC/SEC. Adding both probably only adds surplus value to BIG or SEC.

I don’t think the Big12 has to worry about that lol. If anyone else moves it will be to poach the Big12 or PAC.

The thought of Arizona and Arizona State leaving the Cali schools to go slumming with Gay State, Okie Light and the Rust Shacks is too hilarious to even consider.
