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

I don’t think the BIG cares to offer Oregon full price. They would have already if they wanted too. Oregon doesn’t have much on the BIG to stress them out. Maybe Apple but BIG don’t care.

This was my initial prediction. I've modified to be UCONN, AZ, and ASU with Utah out. AZ and ASU have the same Board of Regents. I bet they are a package deal. Plus, BYU is the power school in Utah and may not want in-state competition.

Exactly. This has been the scenario that I believe what happened from day one.

I still stand by UConn getting invited. Didn't think this would go into the weekend....but it's been wild.

It has been insane. The PAC-12 and B12 board might as well sign a documentary series deal with Netflix or Amazon like the other poster said, and let those media companies in right now to document the whole thing. This could be one of the best-watched series in the future.
 
I sort of don't hate if it were Utah instead of ASU with Arizona and us. ASU has a lot of nice things going for it, but Utah would reinforce the overall cachet of the Big 12 as a football power

Please clarify this statement. There are only 3 in the east, and it makes sense we are the 4th.

We've been through this before. If they take CO, U of A, one of Utah/ASU and us the 16 teams break down into neat regional pods of 4 (not important for football but for other sports) as follows:

East: WVU, Cincy, UCF, us.
West: BYU, U of A, Colorado, ASU/Utah
Texas: TCU, Texas Tech, Baylor, Houston
Plains: Ok State, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas St.

So in hoops, you play your pod home and home and one game against the other 12. Not as important that football scheduling be as geographically based.

Not predicting any of that, but it's clear what GoKU is talking about.

I don't see ASU splitting from Arizona. This is part of the drama that is happening. People on here are calling BS on GOKU but taking Mr. "welcome San Diego State to the big12" / cover all bases SWIAM as doom gospel.
 
It never made sense to me why there were rumors of discussion between the B12 and Gonzaga a couple of months ago. In what world did that make sense? But maybe BY is a low-key genius and this is playing out exactly as he thought and planned.

Maybe Colorado and Arizona are the only P12 additions (makes sense since ASU and Utah are duplicative of Arizona and BYU). But BY wants to ensure he gets UConn as well to drive Eastern expansion and basketball dominance. So the adds are Colorado, Arizona, and UConn for all sports--and Gonzaga as basketball only gets them to 16. This was BYs plan all along. ;)

While there is zero chance this is reality, it would actually be the ideal scenario for UConn. Adding UConn, Arizona, and Gonzaga to the existing B12 would solidify the B12 as the premier basketball conference.
 
This is what I gather


So Wash and OR =let’s say 100 million to BIG

4 corners worth 32 million a piece to BIg 12

Since Pac12 deal is weak that must mean that

Cali Stan Ore st and Wash st = -50 million value.

My simple mind has already evaluated several competing outcomes with certainty. I am now going to watch things unfold and then claim I nailed it. I am also drinking before noon, so…

Lol, I love the fact that GoKU's rep vacillates between being Makers Muppet level and Nelson level depending upon each ebb and flow of realignment news.

He is like the very nexus of this board and its history. All of our former, present, and future hope and doom has gathered about him.

My dream is any two of Washington, Oregon and Arizona.

What's yours?

My guess is he has actual connects within KU. Unfortunately, his "inside info" was as valuable to us as our "connected sources" on Tobacco Road during the last ACC expansion. Their information wasn't wrong from their sources...it is just that their sources weren't fully in the loop of the actual decision makers.
 
Still don’t understand why Ore and Wash haven’t entered the story. Waiting on a BiG offer that may not come is a lot easier in the b12 than it is in the pac.

Thanks. Makes sense.
