Message: [QUOTE="Kolumbo, post: 5076588, member: 4613"] [B]Autonomy[/B] Moving from the MWC to PAC 12 didn't make sense to me and there appears to be some debate here. [USER=156]@noeynox[/USER] posted elsewhere that the PAC 12 will get autonomy status back automatically if it patches a conference together. So if that is the case, then I fully understand it. "Multi-sport conferences are required to have at least eight members, but in the event they drop below that number, they are allowed a two-year grace period to get back up. The Pac-12 will lose 10 schools to the Big Ten, Big 12 and ACC this summer, leaving only Oregon State and Washington State. The board’s determinations on Monday apply to conferences in that grace period." [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5437109/2024/04/22/pac-12-nonautonomous-conference/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
