Please mock me for breaking my own rule, but his actually seems plausible:

Since we are posting @MHver3 now... This is an interesting thread of posts:

So Fox will only pony up for #15 and #16 money if it is Ore, UW. They consider Utah and ASU revenue neutral. Seems right.

Maybe if Utah comes into the Big 12 fold it can be changed back... or not.

I just want to see rivalries on the field. This conference realignment stuff is nonsense. Yay greed.

lol why would anybody suppose that the Arizona schools were in 'solidarity' in any shape or form with Utah? It's gotta be every rat for himself in the P12, but looks like U of A could be heavily incentivized to bring along ASU with any deal they accept.

Lots of people saying that Tom Holmoe is campaigning to get Utah included.

The Pac-12 could have straight up murdered the Big-12 when Oklahoma and Texas left. Instead, they were arrogant and left them bleeding out on the side of the road to die not wanting to do the dirty work of actually murdering them. Remarkably, the Big-12 was saved by adding a school that proudly discriminates that no one else wanted and a couple of G5 schools and somehow stayed alive.

Now the Big-12 can murder the Pac-12. The question is will they do it or will they leave them on the side of the road bleeding out and run the the risk of a miracle?

Don't be a pussy Yormack. Don't make the same mistake Larry Scott made. Murder them. Finish the job. Take Arizona, Utah, and ASU and end the Pac-12.

Well yeah, the rivalry should be on the field, not about money.

Dude, Oregon and Washington aren't going to want the Big-12. They would go independent first and ride it out until they can get in the B1G. The Big-12 would basically have to throw a ton of concessions their way to allow them an easy out as soon as the top tier comes calling for them. At best they are a rental and then you would be dragging in Utah and ASU 2-3 years later.

Agree. Just like when Utah's admin tirelessly advocated for BYU to be invited to the Pac

Yes, I dreamed Connor Bedard would play hockey in Chicago and that dream came true. So, yes you can dream. Sometimes they even come true!!!

Disappointing if true.
