"Big 12 stability". Who would have thought, incredible job by the Big 12 AD's, presidents, and BY for accomplishing this considering the last 13 years.
You do realize Colorado left because of the grip Texas had on the Big 12 right? Unequal revenue, moving conference offices to Dallas from KC, favorable scheduling, LHN. Texas was the root of the issues in the SWC, they were the root of the issues in the Big 12. The only thing I can thank Texas for is for keeping the Big 12 in tact in 2010 (but it was for monetary reasons, not solidarity with the rest of the Big 12).
The recently completed media deal already includes escalators for new P5 teams. That is why CU will get a full share from day 1. The TV contract will pay a full share increase. I assume at least one more school would be covered (2 total). No idea if we could add 4 schools with automatic escalation.
Nope all this is CUs fault, case closed, move along
Well, you do have a point. Once they apply, probably only one year left for P5
For the first time in my life (more years than I'd like), I'm refreshing a realignment thread with hope and glee.
Welcome back
Your dreams were your ticket out
Welcome back
To that same old place that you laughed about
Well, the names have all changed
Since you hung around
But those dreams have remained
And they've turned around

No idea what you’re talking about, I’m with the dude that says it’s all CUs fault. Like the cut of his jibDon't get me started on the Big Ten
To me it feels like the following scenario is very plausible:
Colorado jumps to B12
Shortly after Oregon Jumps to B12
Then the B1G takes Washington and Stanford
Then the B12 takes 2 of Arizona, ASU, Utah.
The last school of those 3 pushes hard to get into B12, and they are added with UCONN putting the B12 at 18, coast to coast teams.
And everyone waits for the ACC to blow up in the next round.
Cal, Wash st and Ore St, join the MWC.

If this it true… it speaks volumes about the quality of the media deal offer on the table for the pac. Arizona will follow a week or 2 behind at most.

Only question is how hard this would push the B1G's hand. If they want Oregon/Washington and fear losing out on either, do they jump now that the dominoes will have started to fall.
I'm with you on everything except the last line. Cal de-emphasizes sports and plays football as an independent and sticks everything else in the Big West with the rest of the California system schools.
Wazzu and Oregon State allow the MWC to be the new Pac and they chose to use that name and branding.
This guy said all kinds of "fun" stuff. Seems like he was a poor source.
