The Big 12 has officially announced that it will add Arizona, Arizona State, and Utah.

In just one day, the Pac-12 lost five of its schools.

Looks like we have college footballs version of musical chairs as programs find a place to light that is better than their current situation. Jump now or get run over!
Texas would have been a perfect for that conference.

if i am the big 12 i am adding these teams plus some. why not take cal and stanford as well get to 20 teams and become a super conference that spans from florida to california. why wait and be reactionary, i would be pro active and add a few additional teams.
What benefit would that bring? A couple hundred more viewers to your conference? Adding just to add is idiotic, especially when it's dead weight.
Changes seem to be happening.

No, Just rebranding to the PAC-4.
He's going to leave USC high and dry too, Michigan and Ohio St will scare him off.
Yormarck indicated two more possible additions to the Big 12. Wazzu and Oregon State? UConn plus Gonzaga (basketball only)?
He may be the smartest conference commissioner out there right now.

No may be about it. He turned a corpse into a living thing.
The additions of Colorado, Arizona, Arizona State, and Utah will bring the Big 12 to 16 teams. With Oregon, Washington, UCLA, and USC joining the Big 10, the Pac-12 has been destroyed. The remaining Pac-12 teams Cal, Stanford, Oregon State, and Washington State have a few options, but none will be pretty.
1. WSU, OSU and Cal join the Mountain West while Stanford alone goes the Independent route.
2. The quartet sticks together and attempts to reform the Pac-12 through expansion, using a handful of Mountain West schools and perhaps SMU (from the American Conference) as the building blocks.
3. One of many challenges with this strategy is the timing: It's unlikely the Pac-12 could add schools in time for the 2024 season because of logistical issues and exit fees in other conferences.
4. The schools move en masse into the Mountain West, creating a 16-team mega-conference under the leadership of current commissioner Gloria Nevarez.
At that point, the next step would be the media rights piece. The MW's current deal with Fox and CBS runs through 2026 and spins off an average of $4 million annually to each school.

If the merger with the MWC happened could they still call it the PAC and keep the PAC media deal and slot in the playoff
If the pac had hired a competent commissioner when they hired Larry Scott, they would not be in this position. Why they hired him and the clown that's in the position now is a study in stupidity.
Those two guys destroyed a conference whose members didn't want to leave but were forced to.

I feel like everyone is forgetting that the autobids are for the "top 6 conference champions". Neither the Pac-12 nor any other conferences have a guaranteed autobids for their conference.

I personally think the Big 10 jumped the shark. They are looking at past brands….not future real eye balls. Which will still reside in SEC/Big 12/ACC country.
The money will dry up based on their bet.
Yeah it's gonna get messy with the west coast schools not getting paid as much as Rutgers and if everyone eventually gets a full share all will go down in $$
So many off-base posts.
1. Cal and Stanford add a LOT and will end up Big 10.
2. Im happy for the B12, but all this talk about them being "clearly" the #3 conf is off base.
3. Anyone who thinks Cal would ever join the B12, well, bless your heart.

A lot of what? Communism? Hippies? Trees?
Nothing about this has to do with academics and neither of these schools care about football.
you know, i could also argue AGAINST all my
points! ^

Well they're pretty easy points to argue against, but I suppose I'll give credit for playing devils advocate. Even if you're wrong.

That's dumb enough for simp skankey to try!! Don't give him any ideas!!
How's Walton handling this? As someone in another forum said:
"There can't be enough weed on the entire West Coast to keep his brain numb while the "Conference of Champions" gets sold off like cheap TVs on Black Friday at a Pasadena Walmart."
"There can't be enough weed on the entire West Coast to keep his brain numb while the "Conference of Champions" gets sold off like cheap TVs on Black Friday at a Pasadena Walmart."
Nobody pays for televisions these days in Pasadena or anywhere else in lawless Cali. They just walk into Walmart and take them. Kinda like what the B1G and Big XII just did when they went into the Pac-12 and walked off with eight teams.West Point Aggie said:
