As far as expansion of conferences is concerned, autobids for P5 will shore up and save the Pac12 like it did the BIgEast during the BCS days even if there are multiple defections as long as a strong nucleus is in place with the California and Oregon schools.

Which means if Pac12 loses 2-4 teams to expansion there will most likely be spots available to some G5 schools for backfill.

My money would be on BYU and Houston being the two most attractive immediate options.

I think the original Pac-8 (USC, UCLA, Stanford, Cal, Oregon, Washington, Oregon State & Washington State) will stick together. It was UCLA that wanted the Arizona schools back in 1978 while Stanford & Washington didn’t think they were up to league standards.

#Colorado began to look at the then
#Pac10 as a destination following the acquisition of the
#Arizona schools but remained loyal to the
#Big8 & then
#Big12 when the
#Pac10 was a little late to the show back in the mid-late 1990’s.

I would say if the Az schools split to B12 then there is a chance Colorado comes back as well.

Were you saying BYU and Houston to the PAC 12?
MH ver3 @MH ver3 7h7 hours ago
I’m saying IF the B12 pulls away the Az schools then Houston and BYU would be the two most attractive options to replace them in the Pac12.

The Big 12, never at any point, has been able to poach a P5 team from a stable, existing conference. The Big 12 has repeatedly been poached, however.
#mizzou #TAMU #CU #Nebraska It's delusion that you guys think you're poaching a team from an existing P5 league.

The B12 was never in a position of strength financially like they are now. Unequal revenue sharing is what nearly killed them before. I’m not saying the AZ schools will happen for sure-just that there is a LOT of dialogue there and has been for awhile.

Also, many either forget or just aren’t aware at how close the B12 was to poaching FSU and Clemson before ND screwed it all up.
War Beaver @WarBeavr 5h5 hours ago
It didn't happen. That's the bottom line. You guys all think the Big 12 is going to poach P5 teams, and it's not happening. Nobody wants to come play lapdog to Texas besides the teet suckers already on board.

Arizona and Arizona State aren’t leaving the P12, ever. But........2-4 B12 teams will be part of the P12 by 2025. You can count on that.

Oh yes, I’m sure 2-4 B12 teams can’t wait to take a huge pay-cut to play west coast time zone games.

BYU, Houston, UCF, and Cinci would back fill what’s left of the B12

#1 the B12 is being overpaid on an old deal. #2 The B10 or SEC will be stealing teams. #3. Provided OU and Texas could take OSU and Tech to the P12 and create more cash. There is no reason for the B12 to exist past its current TV deal

In other words OU and Texas can’t be paid what they deserve unless they leave in 2025

Ok. Come back in 2025 or after we sign our next deal and I will have some crow to feed you.

Multiple institutions in the B12 frowning on Houston. Not for the Dana hire but for the handling of Applewhite and the apparent running of the AD by their billionaire donor. Basically eliminated them from ever being considered.

College football is headed to a breakdown. Next round, networks are not going to want Iowa State and WV. They only want to show OU and Texas. OU and Texas will not be wanting to share for long.

Not true at all. In fact early projections are for Big12 tv contracts to increase by a minimum of 25%. These projections come from analysts that make top dollar to know trends and value.
And for the biggest non-news of the day....
