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.
i think they need each other & that its semantics whether one invites the other or vice versa
i disagree that they have fla. they have a directional u that is an afterthought in that state regardless of recent on field success
the pac inviting the best of what's left gives those schools a path to escape the 4 they just invited which was my thought process in wording it that way.
speaking of afterthoughts unlv is terrible as well. i would be hard pressed to find another school that's more ignored in their own city let alone state. you are most certainly correct re: how much the pac cares but most of their properties are still better than cinci, houston, ucf, etc.
ua/asu
stan/cal
ore st/wazzu
utah/col
ku/kst
okst/ttech
baylor/byu
ist/tcu
if wva sticks around take your pick from the boise's of what's left.
that league will lag behind the two monsters but it's better than every g5 as currently comprised. they'll never win anything in fball but a hoops title every once in awhile.
i would imagine someone's taking ore/uw though & its probably the big ten.
the other question is what the acc's going to do & how that impacts all of that.
& lastly this all continues to suck as it has for 12 years & counting.
i also wonder what lincoln riley thinks of all of this as it pertains to why he necessarily left ou.
big coup for the big ten getting into that recruiting footprint.
it is good to still see you here.
