Expansion is back... back again.....

:wank:

Shoot, let's go ahead and invite the New Mexico schools while we're at it
 
I would be quite happy to see Colorado, an old Big 8 team, back in the conference from a quality of life standpoint. Makes pragmatic sense as well. Utah and the Arizona schools would be cool as well.
 
The problem is the B1G isn't going to take additional PAC teams.

That's like me writing if the ACC drops its GOR then FSU and Clemson are going to apply for membership in the SEC.

No shit Sherlock.

All four of them seem like great fits for the Xii
 
seems silly.
like if I was the Big XII i would have had form letters with fill in the school name ready to go in the event even 1 more school got an invite. be proactive not reactive.
 
Should we call it the everyone else left out Conference?

Hateful24 or how many teams they have?

Exactly, this is a big nothing burger. Maybe the B12 wanted this to release but unless the B1G changes Its mind and invites more PAC schools without ND it’s nothing.
 
I think something will happen during the season with one of these expansions. Not sure yet.

I wouldn’t be totally shocked if the B12 invited the 4 corner schools before the B1G did anything. But saying it’s contingent on the B1G inviting more PAC schools when it doesn’t seem like that’ll happen anytime soon was kinda pointless imo.
 
And in other expansion-related news, both Oklahoma and Texas have now got a big ass hole below the waterline that they need to get fixed before they mosey on over to the SEC and start playing a helluva lot tougher schedule. The Chicken Littles are really sweating right now but the Baghdad Bobs are positive everything is totally under control. Will keep you updated as events occur.

It might happen if the corner schools don't feel the commitment from the other 4 schools. If Ore, UDub, Cal, and Stanford drag their feet, push back on a longer term GOR - which I would think they would do if they think they have a chance to go to the B1G - then they might at some point say fuck it, we are going to the B12 where we know where we stand. Colo would be returning, and Utah fits well with BYU. The move makes a lot of sense, so long as it makes sense monetarily.
 
Memphis (Get into TN fast growing population)
USF (rival game in FL with UCF + Tampa )
ECU (get into NC)
Temple (Philly market)
To take it to 20! Balance that puppy out lil bit.

I just don’t understand them having the caveat ”if the B1G takes those other 4 schools.” Maybe so the PAC doesn’t sue them if this all goes down? It really sounds like the B12 wanted this out but with that caveat it’s like no shit Sherlock.
 
This is a win-win for Oregon. Either we go to the B1G and get all that money, added to the money the school already gets, and can compete annually with the likes of Michigan, Ohio State, Wisconsin, USC, and UCLA, all schools we beat, or we stay in the PAC, get majority of the money and routinely stay a top 12 team and going to the CFP becomes an automatic annual thing.

I'm sitting back and enjoying this now.

think they needed that meeting with FOX and ESPN to be able to show numbers of what each school could expect in return if they bolted.
