    If so the B12 should take Ore/UW and call it a day.

      Then it comes down to how much WA/OR can get from the PAC and whether they prefer to stay there or not.

        For SDSU, Pac 12 would be the prize. Big 12 the consolation prize. Speaks volumes.

          So suppose Arizona and Colorado leave for the B12 - just those two schools. The B1G has stated many times that they have no immediate plans for expansion. What do you do if you are Oregon and Washington?

            Lol. The top prize is a conference on the verge of death that can't secure a media deal? OK.

            I hope the B12 doesn't add SDSU. Mediocre G5 school with lousy fan support.

              The latest rumor concerning the Pac 12 media deal is 20% linear ("Pac 12-2 at night" on ESPN) and 80% streaming on AppleTV. That won't give the exposure that the Pac 12 leftovers want even if the revenue is there.

                  Take a good long look at the Big 12.

                          LOL… Rice. And NOLA is relatively not that much further for travel. Tulane would be a better choice.

                            Both Rice and Tulane. I've been calling it for months.

                              Houston is a bigger market. They should target Rice so they can capture the 7 million households in the greater Houston area.
                              "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf
