The Dood is ridiculous. Clearly he'd be privy to this info before anyone else. Here's the merger that the PAC would be interested in: UT, TT, OU, and OSU. Everybody else best of luck to ya.

This. Everything else loses money and gains no exposure (except trading Kansas with OSU).
 
Merge? How would a 22-team conference work? I can't imagine Larry Scott is itching to split his TV profits with Iowa State and Kansas State.

It wouldn't work and that's why this conversation is extremely hypothetical. However it is realistic that the PAC poaches 2-4 teams from the big 12 and might even offer Texas a deal where they keep extra revenue for the first 5 years or so. This could help UConn if it spurs further realignment. Kansas would probably not be taken by the PAC because I think the PAC would take some combination of schools in Texas and Oklahoma. That would create a partner for UConn to the big 10.
 
I think you are all forgetting the most important tweet from the car wash

My normal WF guy was chatting me up over the weekend. He says he's hearing the Big 12 rumors, but his sources say we will have Bigger news soon. I am not sure what that meant, but he says your Huskies will be smiling Big from coast to coast, ear to ear. He then said, later pal, until next time.. Next time I see ya, I bet you have news for me.. Range Rover out...

We join the B12 and shortly thereafter the B12 merges with the PAC12 and our league is coast to coast.

Or like Hamilton, Joe Frank and Reynolds still calling themselves Hamilton, Joe Frank and Reynolds even after Reynolds quit the band.

Dear God I hope not. Not that I think there is anything to this, but I hate west coast night games. I really don't ever want to be in a situation where I can't watch a UConn conference game.
 
The PAC should just sit back and wait of the inevitable B12 collapse and try to pick up the best of the best. Texas, OU, and KU have value. The rest of the conference really doesn't bring much of anything to a conference network. The PAC could just add one of those schools and supplement it with BYU in order not to have OSU/TT/KSU shoved down its throat.
 
The Pac has to negotiate in advance, it can't compete with SEC or B1G for the best schools. If it can tie the B12 up in a partnership it has a better chance.

My fear is the B1G is doing the same thing as well as waiting for a select few ACC teams to grow weary of the money gap.

They can easily compete with the SEC or Big 10 for the southern plains states. Oklahoma, my guess, is either going to the SEC or Pac 12. I am surprised New Mexico has no value to the Pac 12.

With the Pac 12/Big 10 alliance, we'd want Oklahoma to go to UT/OU/TT/OSU going to the Pac-12, KU, UConn, UVA and UNC to the Big 10. Leave NC State/Duke and VT for the SEC.

That could be. That's why it is so important for both the B12 and ACC to launch their own conference network first, before the other one. Financially and probably logistically speaking, there is only room for one more conference network. The loser of this race will lose its seat at the P5 table and their upper echelon schools will be poached by the bigger conferences. There are more schools in the ACC that have P4 value than in the B12. So that is why I would think it would be wise for all of those small potato schools in the B12 to band together, force expansion, and launch a network ASAP. That means adding the top brands and markets, no matter the distance/geography.

If Nevada and New Mexico had stronger programs and were more academically rigorous, they'd both make perfect sense with UT and OU. You'd have the whole coast, and then a foothold in the whole SW, and up into Denver too. It would make a lot of sense.

New Mexico is West Virginia but much weaker athletically. Nevada is another small state with limited growth potential due to serious water issues, not to mention negatives around gambling and poor academics, plus historically weak athletics. Honestly, Iowa State would be a more attractive add than any schools in Nevada or New Mexico.

Why we are talking wise about the NCAA and it member schools aside, the wise thing would be for the big publics in both the ACC and B12 to form their own conference.

Uva/VT/UNC/NCST/Clem/FSU
TX/OU/OKST/KU/KSU/IAST

Pick two from the Texas schools and/or Duke, WVA, and Lville to get to 14 or 16. The other fools can form the American Too Conference.

Well, my point is that in an ideal world both could be easy additions that would help bridge into OU and Texas. That's not the case, though, for the reasons I--and you--pointed out. Neither has the athletic program nor the academic quality to join up.

While I value objectivity, I think we need a little more homer-ism in these imaginary conferences so that UConn gets in at least before Louisville and Duke.
 
Big 12 and Pac-12 discussing merger? This site doesn't have the type of emoticons necessary to express how much I'm laughing over that 'rumor.'

Nevermind how the "dude" has told us how great footing the Big 12 has all this time, now he's telling us they're willing to discuss merger? Brilliant.

I think you mean that somewhere in West Virginia, in a basement with no windows, is a man who has gone off the hook. I hope no one here believes this stuff. I just think it's funny.

The dood said "put that in your pipe and smoke it". You guys inhaled deeply, man!!! What have we become?!? I can't take the pain anymore!
 
Why are WV fans so invested?

Because they get left out with Iowa St., Kansas St. and others in any shakeup.
