If it’s possible, the PAC leadership needs to have some serious discussions with themselves, media outlets, and other conferences. They need to honestly assess potential future realignment.
Assuming (hoping) UCONN and Colorado are going to the Big 12, and possibly Arizona and ASU, they need to gage Oregon and Washington seriousness in going B1G. I think they then have two options.
One, don’t rush to replace members yet. Gage B1G, SEC, and Big 12 interest in ACC members. Hypothetically say Virginia and UNC to B1G (with Oregon and Washington). Clemson, Florida St, NC State, and Virginia Tech to SEC. And Syracuse and Louisville to Big 12. Then partner up with some remaining ACC (Ga Tech, Duke) and G5 teams aligned with university/athletic culture. Thus creating the fourth P4 national conference.
Or two. Look into merging with MWC (and west coast G5’s) to create an “island” west conference focusing on content for PCT zone.
At some point these conferences need to realize they are looking like mafia families and need to work under a commission.
