The rumor/speculations I saw had teams from the PAC joining the Big XII to form a west division. WVU would not be needed in the east and would be jettisoned. Their options are very limited and all stink compared to what they're used to.

Getting this in before it goes Cesspool. UA and ASU have long been rumored to be looking east to align with Big12 vice hanging with all the west coast schools. With the political climates and leadership in Arizona and California being about 180 offset from each other, now would be a time for that to happen.

Somewhere on Twitter I think. When you have your nose in lots of different sources you tend to forget, but fairly sure Twitter. It was an offshoot of a USC discussion.

What I saw speculated was the 4 CA school, the 2 AZ schools and then they would need 2 more to form an 8 team west division. Would Colorado go back to the XII? Certainly it's better than being left behind in the remnants of the PAC. If this happened, whatever school are left behind are screwed, kind of like whoever was left after Big East raids.

According to the smoke signals coming from the hills of WV (and from the DudeofWV ears), The ACC will welcome WV with open arms for the massive WV t.v. market and the university's storied academics.

Put me on record as suggesting Nike will not allow Pac-12 to get raided and Oregon not having a seat at the table.
Unless,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Nike is going to fund an independent status for the Ducks.

Schools like Oregon and Washington are big players. No way they get left behind.

No tot mention that the B1G is has been very close to the P12 for decades. I think if the XII went after the PAC, the BIG would counter-offer or more likely go after some combination of Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. Also, while Arizona and AZ St may have interest in TV markets, a significant potion of their student body some from SoCal and I don't see many Texas high school students going to Arizona for college.

 

[Fairfield_1st]

But if the XII & PAC formed an east/west alignment, why would KS, OK & TX want to leave? Doesn't it make it a stable and desirable conference and add more recruiting areas for both sides? The PAC is a mess and I'm not sure Nike can do much to make USC, UCLA, etc stay if they've got a better offer somewhere else. Best Nike can do is try to get Oregon included as one of the additional 2 schools that would be needed.

 

[Chin Diesel]

If crap continues to hit the fan and state schools need to reassess I could easily see Cal dropping out of the rat race due to lack of support from state government. UCLA becomes the state's sole P5. Still have USC and Stanford as private schools in the P5.

 

[freescooter]

And of course UConn is tied to the Big East forever. But then even if we got an offer to join the BIG 10 the hoop boy would whine that they would so much rather play Creighton than Ohio State and Michigan because MSG....
