Message: [QUOTE="Rufus, post: 4358030, member: 7277"] I think the current 10 members of the PAC-12 are better off without the Big 12. The PAC is more prestigious, even after losing USC and UCLA. However, the B1G may continue to raid the PAC 12 and the PAC cannot afford to lose any more schools. The B1G holds the PACs life in its hands. We’ve seen estimates on how much revenue Stanford, Cal, Oregon and Washington sports can generate - all less than the expected average payout for the next B1G contract. However, what we have not seen are estimates on how much money can be gained from academic research consortiums and the like. Research money trumps athletic money. [/QUOTE]
