The Big 12 expansion groundswell

[Joe Public]

Would have been fantastic had they signed on to that apple deal. But alas….

I would’ve expected 3 or 4 of 9 to be willing to sign a GOR:

-OSU and WSU, of course (best available option)
-Utah (love that PAC!)
-ASU (seems they would be on their way to the Big12 already if that’s what they desired, so maybe they wish to stay in the PAC)

If the last two are still hesitant to tie their fates to the PAC, then perhaps the first two are the only ones currently willing to sign.

P12 dead. UO and UW officially to Big 10. That means very very likely Utah is in the B12.

The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards ASU and UConn getting the invites to go to 16.

But, unfortunately, the university presidents want Utah and not UConn. BY and the networks likely want UConn. But the rivalry games between BYU and Utah could be the tipping point.

were going to get asu and utah and then the acc will fall apart next week, just inevitable

Why take ASU and Utah now then? Wait before giving away spots.

Nobody talking about Stanford just sitting out there now. Best athletic department in the nation, year after year. Crazy.

ACC is a VERY expensive exit for a long time. I think FSU chatter is just bluster, but we will see.

Been talked about (at least, a bit) as the next round for B1G expansion.

That's what I mean. Yesterday they were in all the talk. Today it's like UO and UW gone, Pac is dead. But I haven't heard what happened to the Stanford talk. I assume that means they will be left behind but I'm surprised I'm not seeing them mentioned much this morning.

Yeah that is wild.

I would love Stanford on the B12. No chance they lower themselves to being in a conference with weet Virginia and it's terrible academics

I mean...they're going to be playing with MWC schools pretty soon.
