Message: [QUOTE="Rufus, post: 5075876, member: 7277"] It also says this - "The league lost its designation as an autonomous/power conference, a moniker that gave it more voting privileges within NCAA governance and more revenue in the CFP distribution model. It is unclear if the conference could regain such a designation." "CFP leaders last year voted to change the 12-team expanded playoff format. They removed one automatic qualifying spot and added an at-large bid for a format that features five AQs for the highest-ranked conference champions and seven at-large bids." Another point not in the article ---- the original CFP 4 team agreement that no longer exists and designated the PAC-12 as an AQ expires in 2025. So there is nothing that was ever agreed or signed off on that said the PAC-12 would ever have an AQ after 2025. The new 12 team agreement already eliminated their AQ and the only legal action they could take in my view is suing to get the original 2025 agreement back in place. That would only be for 1 season. I think that would be a stretch that a court would agree since a new agreement was signed off on by everyone - including WSU and OSU - which eliminated the PAC-12 from having an AQ. Those two schools got monetary concessions for that. There is no way in hell the Frankenstein PAC-12 will be allowed to get an AQ. [/QUOTE]
