Pac-12/Big 10/Big 12 Realignment

[pezsez1]

Canzano is reporting that the Pac-12 CEOs have another meeting for later today. I'm assuming this is the presidents of OSU, Cal, Stanford & WSU (and maybe ASU and/or Utah) to decide what's next... although can't imagine anyone with a Big-12 offer staying.

Oregon is expected to get an official offer soon from the Big 10 which means they have already applied for membership. Oregon also reportedly said in today's earlier Pac-12 meeting that it intended to join the B10, as did UW.

Do the four remaining schools have any pathway toward rebuilding the conference? Would Utah (and maybe ASU) be enticed to stay put now with a pretty much guaranteed playoff berth? Would that change the calculus of eventual survival?

More importantly, would that core of a conference actually be an upgrade for G5 teams?

RIP Pac-12. You had your chances but blew it way too often.

I am hoping the remaining PAC teams can still get teams to join and expand. As one of the few Beavers fans here I think this I really improves the chances for the Beavs to make the playoffs. Not saying they will soon or often but they will be some more recognized as a Boise State type team.

Take leftover Pac teams and combine with top 6 Mountain west teams.

I do think the pack can survive, I believe Utah will jump to Big 12, but as you said there seems to be plenty of teams to chose from, mountain west, SMU, SDS, SJS….. no doubt the pac will limp for a couple of years but they can survive.

I hope this means we play in LA every year.

one year and then we see no auto bids. so essentially they'd be a 9-12 playing at a 5-8

definitely going to be podded up with them for travel, wisconsin will hate being grouped with us

Oregon vs USC is going to become a legit CF rivalry.

Also, silver lining, we'll be in the same conference as Chip.

Seeing the reaction from the rest of the presidents and people on that call after Oregon and UW pulled out would have been great entertainment.

i wonder if we have 4 pods of 4-5 teams to balance the non revenue sports travel?

[DuckzRule]

So, now that we are Big Ten bound, which opponents are you looking forward to playing the most?

I want to play Ohio State, Penn State, Nebraska and Indiana

With no automatic bid, how is the PAC better than the Mountain West? Why would a MW school pay $16 million to opt out to get in to the PAC? More likely the last 4 pac schools join the MW. The 4 can vote unanimously to disband (I believe a unanimous vote is needed) then there’s no exit penalty.

How are San Diego State officials feeling today?

Can someone please aggregate all of John Canzano's takes about conference realignment from the last 18 months?

Do we get to leave him beyond with this move?

He's going to be on KJR 93.3FM in Seattle (https://933kjr.iheart.com) in just a moment or so.

Wait what? He’s the only legit source for this stuff, and McMuohy has just been trolling all along. Never mind one was right all along and the other just trying to get his 15 min of fame. Which are UO now JC.

On another bright side, now we will have so many options to watch Big 10 Network. Not limited to Sling or FUBO tv to watch every ducks game.
