Key tweets, and it's all gone to Hell.

I tried reading through the last 10 pages after getting off work and correct me if I’m wrong but it seems like UA/ASU are in and Utah is following them shortly?

Most of the posts in the last ten pages state that. No proof supporting it.

U of A board in executive session right now. Theory they are voting to accept a bid to B12.

Things moving fast. Should know more tomorrow.

We would have gotten our invite by now if we were. There’s no more leverage fantasy anymore now that the Pac is officially dead.

We’re out.

Nah. The PAC schools are in disarray. The Washington travel issue is interesting. So for them the $ are the same almost no matter what they do. Oregon likely the same. The AZ schools might have better travel in the B12. If Washington and Oregon stay, I think UA is the only school that goes, maybe ASU. They all are waiting on those two because the PAC isn’t viable without them.

I swear, soon someone on this board will stub their toe, and read it as a sign middle tennessee will be in the Big 12, there's literally nothing official even out yet, let's relax

Where’d you get Middle Tennessee?!!! I heard North Texas state was #16

Maybe there was some truth to the Pac-9 wanting to tough it out? How can these schools not have their decisions to leave yet if that’s what’s happening?

The ACC has no options.

They could try to get ND in FB or convince ESPN to pay $$$$ for adding UConn (both with 0.001% chance). Or hope a miracle occurs in the next 10 years.

Adding west coast teams is not viable.

Disagree. More realignment will happen. There is no way the ACC holds together 13 more years without something changing.

I think BY is an outside-the-box thinker. Apparently he could not convince the XII good ol boys of his NY vision. Last year’s getting BYU, UH, UC, and UCF reeks of reaction desperation. Now, bringing in 4 teams from the least populated time zone is so freaking stupid from a business standpoint. It will result in the collapse of the XII. Now they really are AAC 2.0.

They should’ve taken Colorado and UCONN and stopped (maybe they still will but I doubt it. They could have added added Georgetown, St John’s, Villanova, and Gonzaga in basketball only.

I know so many of us believe we are deserving of P5 status and see this as the best chance of getting there.

Let’s see where we end up. I’m hoping ACC. Much more synergy with us and ACC schools With the exception of Louisville and Florida State.

Go 16 (+1) with us and USF. Add 4 basketball onlies (three above plus another east coaster). Maybe bring Army and Navy in as football onlies.

The real question is does UConn want to make 12-15 million a year to be in a league across the country with the likes of Cal, Stanford, and SDSU.

The schools you just named got 4 mil per year on their tv contract. The pac leftovers got 20.

With the travel costs and absurdity it’s a no.

Mixed messages here. ASU/Utah not so quick to move.
If you read Trammels piece from earlier, he expected BY to have a very tight deadline.
Doesn’t want this to drag for days.

Maybe something is cooking. Maybe AZ is pushing for ASU but getting pushback from Big 12?
