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

One of the writers tweeted (can’t find it right now) that the PAC had a $30M/team offer from ESPN in 2022 and rejected it.

This video talks about an Athletic.com article stating that Amazon was a player until Colorado exited. They had a small linear component that would have made the PAC members much more comfortable with the deal.

That's a shame. The MWC should at least buy the PAC name if not its obligations

Nah. Let the Pac8/Pac12 die with dignity.

The bloodline for the family name is dead.

Wrapping up work week on second shift out in California.

Get to hotel room and start channel surfing and see Cartoon Network has Space Ghost After Dark. It had been a while but it was always good for a laugh.

And what do I see? Tenacious D as guests.

Still think the best way forward is the below:

Stanford
Cal
Oregon State
Washington State
San Diego State
UNLV
Colorado State
Gonzaga
Saint Mary's
Loyola Marymount
Santa Clara
UConn (football only)
Army/Navy (football only)

Good Olympic sports, academics and eastern football presence.

How’s Santa Clara going to be a full member when they don’t play football?

WCC would be a great place to park all the Olympic sports for Cal and Stanford if they want to do a national football conference while keeping Olympic sports in a regional conference.

Santa Clara would be a great add since it is a great academic school, and both are very close to Stanford and Cal. Got to give me other Alma mater some plug here.

Also, there is ST Mary's and USF nearby as well in the WCC.

The other option is to merge with the Big East if the Catholic schools are willing to do it.

Stanford may look the other way for possible acc consideration (ignore 1 Catholic school BCU). Would a school rumored to be uninterested in the Big XII due to BYU and Baylor associate with the mostly Catholic WCC? (Exceptions: Church of Christ Pepperdine, historically Methodist Pacific)

The Pac-4 members may attempt to keep an imbalanced share of conference revenue in the next year. The conference expects to receive $420 million in television and postseason funds.

There’s also an “emergency fund” that had more than $40 million in it before the pandemic hit in 2020.

That’s. a chunk of money But when you consider lthe teams that destroyed the conference paid zero exit fee money. the teams leaving won’t be happy but to prevent a law suit In a. Northern California court They might agree to a deal .
Amazing it cost you a bundle to leave a conference with minimal media deals , $34 million for the MW ,$15,000,000 for the AAC and Big East but $0 to destroy a P5 conference over 100 years old

Santa Clara, Loyola, and Gonzaga are both ranked higher academically than Baylor or BYU. They also don't carry near the same amount of baggage as those two.

Basically that realignment isn't done in the next round will be dramatically more dramatic than anything that happened up to this point. Tough to know whether we should be encouraged or terrified by that.

It was deleted for a minute but came back up :)

This could only mean they are negotiating for 2 PAC 4 schools to take a reduce amount to join the Big12.

Funny, but I think that kind of leverage only works if you are playing "last man out" in musical chairs. If you need two Pac4 schools to move, eg Stanford and Cal together, then is it really a deterrent to say it's either both together now or it's UConn-SDSU now and they won't get a chance later? Stanford-Cal have to believe that even if B12 took UConn-SDSU now there would be two places for them later.
 
Why not just take all 4 and go right to 20? 9 game fb schedules work fine with east/west or 5 team pods with cross play
