Looks like they will either fold into the Mtn West or try to make a new conference if Cal and Stanford stick around. From below, the matter of the P12 consultant has bubbled up...did they hire bad advise?

"Schulz said it was "a secondary issue" at this point when asked specifically about Kliavkoff's future, but "if we choose to rebuild a conference around those four schools, is George that guy?
