Without USC/UCLA, the PAC is in worse shape than the New Big 12.  Both financially, and competitively.  If any poaching occurs, it'll likely go the other direction.

Maybe the BIG should have left the Bruins and grabbed the Ducks

This is the Bug Eaters chance to bolt might start racking up some Titles again.They'll even let you bring the Runzas and Bud fat
true, now that the Horns and Sooners and Aggies and Buffaloes and Tigers are gone, the Huskers could possibly win the Big 12

I think the Ducks are a terrible add for the B1G.  I'd consider that a big mistake.  Not Rutgers-bad, but still unnecessary and stupid.

I don't buy that the new Big 12 is in better shape than what's left of the Pac 12. It's a mid-major super conference with terrible geography, where the centerpiece is OSU2 and West Virginia football.

Pac 12 still has way more prestige, even without the LA twins. 

Last year everyone overreacted by writing the Big 12's obituary prematurely, and now they are doing the exact same with the Pac 12. It's as predictable as a mediocre helmet getting over ranked in the preseason polls.

the PAC commish wasn't happy about the slow scheduling of the Big Ten and the PAC

he should step up and schedule the remainder of the PAC vs the remainder of the 12 to see which is stronger in 2024

I mean BYU might arguably be the helmetiest team in the new Big 12, and they are an elevated mid major. Yet their competition for the honor is OSU2 and West Virginia.

If they joined the Pac 12, they'd be behind Oregon, UDub and Stanford in prestige at the very least, and there are probably a few others that are ahead of (or at least equal to) OSU2 and WV's prowess. Plus they'd have four other teams in their own time zone, instead of being an extreme geographic outlier in a conference that contains the prestigious brands of UCF and Cincinnati.

I mean, come on. The choice is obvious.

Well the whole thing starting a decade ago is stoopid. It just seems like UCLA can't get their collective selves together on the field - hope that changes

My list of Blue Bloods:

ND - Indy
OSU - 10
UM - 10
Nebbie - 10
USc Pac/10

Texas - 12/SEC
OU - 12/SEC
Bama - SEC

Next Up:

Penn State - 10
Tenn?? - SEC

Then a cluster with UGA/LSU/Auburn ... Clemson/FSU? ... Miami ...

I don't know if that correlates well with eyeballs, but it would be closeish.

Universities like to portray themselves as being "green" of course, and this isn't, at all.

So do Big Companies, even Exxon, et al.  I've seen some of the PR efforts from the inside.
