Message: [QUOTE="Ldandy, post: 4700208, member: 4584"] The real issue is that The Big 12 is not an attractive option to anyone in The PAC outside of The Colorado Football Building. The rest of the schools have been together for a long time and would likely choose less money and staying together over more money and aligning with what they believe to be inferior academic institutions, city schools and religious universities. Its why they're willing to wait on whatever crap deal their president is trying to sell them on. The true strength of the Big 12 is that it is the best option for everyone in it. Outside of Kansas every team has zero shot at The P2. They are in the best place they can ever hope to be. They'll sign any GOR because where are they going to go? The fallacy was this idea that they needed PAC Schools. That's bull. The conference can make the teams just as much as the teams can make the conferece. They could add UConn and SDSU tomorrow and return far more value in terms of competing for championships, recruiting territories added for football and basketball, and assistance with the conference's initiatives in both NYC(Uconn) and Mexico(SDSU) Instead they hold a candle for underwhelming Colorado and Arizona.
