PAC 12 has been the best conference for years. Cougs are amazing

Y’all are the only show keeping an eye on WSU/OSU. Thank you.

They should go after North Dakota State University as well as some of the MWC…perfect fit.

Cal and Stanford need to get real and get back to the Pac

A new PAC 8 not only would be less expensive for a network, but it would keep them in existence. This would allow them to watch the ACC and either make a case to jump, or a possibility of picking off a couple of dissatisfied teams from there. Obviously not Clemson or Florida State, and its a reach, but who knows what might happen if one of the networks steps in. I mean, who thought we would be here two years ago?

I know Cal/Stan are a weird fit even with the non-regional climate, but the 7 or 8 ACC teams Cal beats are def gunna want them gone lol

I was having those conversations with Immaculate on topic of college football from realignment, media deals, to Big 12 schools uniforms designed

That guy needs a few more bracelets

Having eight schools will meet NCAA requirements. Having eight schools doesn’t help with TV Networks because they want contents for their channels. In today college football having eight schools doesn’t help them competing with other conferences especially if they have 16-18 schools. In this era of college football any conference will need to have at least 10 schools. I prefer to have between 14-16 schools

If Klivakoff is still the commissioner then let's see his skill that he brought 2 years ago before the conference collapsed. Merge with the Big 12 or bust.

I'd add unlv, sdsu, San Jose state, Hawaii, then utsa and Rice if they don't take Hawaii then tulane

There doesn't seem to be a good answer or result. Adding SDSU, UNLV, and CSU to the PAC is a good start...but then what? Boise State has different ideas. Other MW schools are smaller programs. I'm thinking UTSA, North Texas, and Tulsa could be an option, where none exist.

If they start a new Pac 12 I hope the Minnesota Golden Gophers would join because now they will never have a chance in the Big 10 with USC Washington Oregon and UCLA in the Big 10 west. Just saying

Wasu and the beavers 🦫 got hosed 🤬

Does this dude know his show is called locked on Big 12? Why he talk about ACC and PAC mostly. Are these dude reporters or just make stuff up

i go to a mountain west school, and i was never into college sports/conference history until i went to college. at one point there was something mentioned about “what the mountain west did the the wac”, could someone clue me in on what that actually means? i would like to see the PAC-12 merge w the MW since they’re geographically close. there’s no reason pacific based teams should be competing in-conference with atlantic based teams, or pacific teams in-conference with inland/great lakes based teams. osu and wsu would make great additions to the MW. i think a merge would bring more media money, and allow them to compete against more than just each other for most of the year. i won’t go as far as saying that if the merge goes through and enough media money comes in (which it won’t bc no one watches the MW) that the former PAC-12 teams will come back and try to rejoin the merger. (whatever name it may have) but i think it would be enough to get them at least thinking “oh they’re bringing in money now, why not rebuild the conference bc geography and save money on travel?” i’m well aware of how naïve of a take this is, but it’s purely speculation and a case study on hyper advanced mental gymnastics. again, i’m still not up to speed on my own conference’s history, much less the PAC-12 since i just got into college sports, but since money is what split the conference i imagine that’s what would incentivize the other schools to rebuild it

PAC ? Is regional name. That’s out now

Do we need another G5 league? They talk of adding team coast to coast, there is no way those schools can afford that kind of travel. I don’t see the point of the whole thing.

Summer of 2026 is a lifetime away. College football and conference make ups will look incredibly different. All this talk of an 8 team PAC 12 is just mental masturbation.

Why stop at 8 arbitrarily, with no cushion, with less content for media buyers ? The entirety of the MWC now, after last season, all look good to me as adds to PacX, Big12 or ACC. The only question marks (each has redeeming qualities): Nevada-Reno New Mexico Wyoming Otherwise, you want all these: 1. Colorado State 2. Boise State 3. Airforce 4. Utah State 5. Fresno State 6. SDSU 7. UNLV 8. SJSU ______ And I'm really liking: Wyoming New Mexico Nevada-Reno is the biggest question mark; followed by affiliate member: Hawaii (but you get to play in Hawaii !!!) Consider adding: New Mexico State Northern Arizona Montana Maybe: North Dakota State South Dakota State South Dakota ? North Dakota ? And of course add whomever you can from AAC et al, especially: Tulane, Memphis, Tulsa, Rice, UTSA, UNT, La Tech, maybe: Toledo and Ohio, if not merge with AAC & add select others.

The BIG12 will: 1)invite Miami, Louisville, UNC, and...Stanford who will help negotiate a deal with Notre Dame and should: buyout the MWC and AAC media rights. EAch conference will get two relegation spots a piece. The aforementioned 4 plus current 16 will be permanent members with 4 spots going to the best of the MWC and AAC. The BIG12 would be the biggest player in CFB as far as media is concerned. Why would Boise State accept a role as a relegatable school? Because their other option is to stay in the Mountain West with no shot at the big leagues. The current member have assurances that they cannot be relegated. Who loses?

Ocean 11 conference 😂

Still not a Power conference.

Your team should have to play in the region your conference claims to represent. A team in Massachusetts should not play in the pac 12 just like Washington and Oregon should not be in the big ten… just my opinion…

Now watch out , when Oregon has 3 consecutive losing seasons and the big 12 kicks them out and come crawling back to the pac12. Lol

When (because I still believe it's inevitable) the ACC gets nuked, I think the B1G and SEC get four each. That said, I think all three of FSU, Clemson and UNC go to the SEC- it makes geographical sense, has similar money lines in what is technically a smaller conference, and it means student athletes are making trips from Clemson to Lafayette as opposed to trips from Tallahassee to Los Angeles. ACC schools tend to care about more than just football, and for athletes in sports besides football, joining the B1G is a nightmare. So FSU, UNC and Clemson go SEC, and they take UVA in order to expand their regional footprint and maintain an even number of schools. This means the B1G loses out on all three of those brands, but they rebound by finally wooing Notre Dame into the conference. Once the Irish are in, B1G expansion will be about adding new markets with new eyeballs. To this end, Stanford (Bay Area), Georgia Tech (Atlanta) and Duke (Raleigh-Durham) are the best fits, and they also bring with them an academic prestige that the B1G is known to look for. Stanford reinforces the conference's western wing and brings in the last of Notre Dame's major rivals, while GT and Duke give the B1G footholds in the South. Now, the Big 12. Yormark can't afford to be too picky with the remaining 10 schools, and this bout of B12 expansion will be all about going east, making sure that schools like WVU, Cincy and UCF aren't on an island. The Big 12 is also not shy about adding numbers to compensate for the lack of blue bloods. So they add six of the ACC's remaining ten: Louisville, Pitt, Miami, NC State, Virginia Tech, and Syracuse. Miami becomes a travel partner for UCF and gives the Knights a regional rival in Florida, and NC State puts the Big 12 in the heart of Raleigh, while the additions of Pitt, Louisville, VT and Syracuse pair up with WVU and Cincy to create an eastern pod that's essentially just Big East 2: Electric Boogaloo. This leaves Boston College, Wake Forest, SMU and Cal as the four oddballs, the Oregon State and Washington State of the ACC raids. I also know that Yormark has stated a desire to have schools in all four conferences. To this end, I think the Big 12 seeks a smaller addition of two schools, one out west and one in the northeast. Enter San Diego State and UConn. SDSU slots into the B12's western wing next to the Arizona schools, grants the Big 12 access to the southern California market, and importantly gives the Big 12 a presence in the Pacific time zone. UConn, meanwhile, would be part of the conference's eastern wing, and would most likely become a travel partner for Syracuse. These eight additions (UConn, SDSU, Miami, NCST, Lville, Pitt, VT, Cuse) also bring with them some serious basketball firepower, something we all know Yormark is after.

When all of this Big 10-12-14? Whatever, happened. I quit giving a Shit. Pac 12-10-8...whatever. I am a west coast fan, sooo, I root for west coast teams. Until now. Grew up in LA, so SC and UCLA were my teams. Moved to Oregon several year ago. Checked my socal allegiance So then....Ducks & Beavers. Sooo...now SC ,UCLA, Ducks, Huskies have moved to...more profitable pastures??? Fu$k them all!!! Done with college sports.!

No G5 team should join OSU and WSU in the “PAC2”. They are desperate and will indeed bolt to any other P4 for a heavily discounted price. G5 teams should only move conference if it’s an invite to a P4. PAC12 is dead son. You can thank NIL, the transfer portal, and greed for how college football is today and will be tomorrow.

Money will ruin college athletes.
