I think I concur the B12 will have more energy and passion that most of the other two, especially passion, at least I hope so.

How does the practically-announced-almost-a-done-deal-quasi-official move of USC and UCLA to the Big Ten change things for the 2025-and-beyond Big 12?

Yeah I'm not sure how you back out of an offer, but if there's a way to do it, then I'd be surprised if the B12 isn't considering it.

The Big 12 might want to know which way the wind is blowing first.

The Pac-<x> might look to poach a couple of Big 12 teams. They might need their filler schools to keep the lights on.

Time zones are irrelevant.

They could simply merge.

I think you'd have to remove the word "simply" from the above.

The ACC is nearly unwatchable, and the TV ratings prove that out.

Competitively it's the worst, with the PAC being slightly better.  In recent years, only Clemson has saved the ACC from basically being a G5. 

normally i’d say fla st and mia will get their acts together but there’s no longer time seemingly

i think that at this point there is quite a lot i’d necessarily believe

the big12 is almost assuredly on the phone with the pac as we speak

if i were the pac i’d invite what’s left of the old big 8 stat.  if ore/wash bounce throw in baylor and ttech.

the doomsday sotospeak mega league scenarios we speculated about 10-12 years ago is playing out

idk what notre dames going to do the acc is a good fit if they can keep it together.  the acc should be on the phone with them and wva if they know what’s good for them.

among other things lesson 1 in r/a is waiting and reacting will burn you

Glad to see you posting. Been a while. Not really much of an SEC board here, so I get it.

I actually think the XII is more viable long term than the PAC. XII has Texas and Florida - football passion.

What's left in Pac Land as far as passionate fans is pretty much Oregon, Washington, Utah and Colorado.

The XII should grab them ASAP, and then maybe the AZ schools. Then choose from the leftover PAC and consider UNLV and maybe Boise????

That would get them to 20.

Astute and wise, you are.

Something along these lines is definitely what I'd be thinking, were I a B12 commissioner or AD.

I'm going to sigh a bit, be somewhat amazed, watch what happens in all of this, not stress trying to predict much, and enjoy CFB to the extent possible.


So much money in all of this now....
