If true, IMO the Pac is in the power position to add 6 and be the next 16-team league. Expect all to come from the Big 12 and WVU to head to the ACC with someone else…UCF or Cinci or Houston.
If that is the case, and an equal case could be made for the BIGXII eating the rump PAC, then one of these Conferences will die. Who stands to benefit most from the Death of a Conference?

Yep, which one does ESPN want to survive? That’s the one that will liveAgreed …Big 12 is dead man walking …we are by far the most attractive Big 12 school because of our location and recruiting base …that would be the only reason B1G might kick the tires on us …all their members would love to play a game in Texas once every three years, same with Pac-12 key words in their statement “potential members” they are going shopping and will want to do it fast. Finally, ESPN desperately wants the B12 to blow up so it’s going to happen only a matter of time!
I’ve got nothing worth sharing, sorry. Everybody is shocked, way more so than with TX/OU.I’ve been waiting on an update. Anything new happen?
So obviously not to name names.I’ve got nothing worth sharing, sorry. Everybody is shocked, way more so than with TX/OU.
He talking about college media sources not TCU.So obviously not to name names.
Is it your belief our administration was caught flat footed again?
TCU is going to be in a conference with smu and north Texas soon.
ESPN is not going to let Fox have a major cfb monopoly of the entire mtn/pacific time zones …they will push hard for the P12 to expandYep, which one does ESPN want to survive? That’s the one that will live
You're suggesting that there might be a couple of external influences that have mapped out their desires for the the "major" college football landscape and we're all just along for the ride rather than just some organic uprising of schools on the west coast that want to play teams in Maryland and New Jersey?Impossible to believe these are random changes that are being announced so piece meal. Gotta think there is a grand scheme in place and they have just concluded that these slow, piecemeal announcements will creates less anger and pushback.
We only have 12 teams when UT and OU exitSo, this sets up FOX in a rivalry position with ESPN. Interesting.
The PAC is dead if this comes to pass. We are slated to have 14 members as it is. How does the BIGXII poach when it is full?
I am not buying it eitherI'm not buying it. The pac is literally on the edge of the cliff. Waiting to be picked apart, they're just too arrogant/Elitist to understand that skiff is taking on water.
ExactlyTCU is going to be in a conference with smu and north Texas soon.
How? This was inevitable. The notion of a post OU/UT Big 12 being a power conference was always stupid and foolish. The definition of power conference is whatever ESPN, SEC and Big 10 say it is. There was never going to be any playoff expansion, the only playoff expansion we will see will be to accommodate the new playoff that only allows those in the super conferences to participate inI’ve got nothing worth sharing, sorry. Everybody is shocked, way more so than with TX/OU.
