Can Big 12 act quickly enough?

[Rootmaster]

Things are settling down and the current new standard for conferences is at least 14 to 16 members to be a super conference....by 2025. The foreseeable future will see a battle between Big 12 and PAC to get to that number without tearing revenue sharing apart. The PAC will keep the ten remaining members and add SDSU and SMU...thus acquiring San Diego and Dallas market penetration. Worse it will take two legitimate Big 12 future targets off the board. So assuming both conferences push to 16 and the PAC is stable can the Big capture the best of the remaining G5 candidates quickly enough? Can see Boise and UNLV going to PAC...leaving USF Memphis for the 12. Both hit 14 but who's left? So the Big 12 has got to move quickly and make sure PAC 12 has a tougher rebound by taking SDSU for Southern California and Boise St for national brand....USF for Tampa ..
while finishing 16 with Memphis. But...would have to get it done quickly.

Yes, but think current PAC-12 teams.

That's the point. Without any other big defections on the horizon the PAC teams will stay put...and rebuild their conference.

Will find out when the New commissioner begins on August 1, 2022. Big 12 will try for 6 but I think they only get 4 PAC. Big 10 will go for 4 PAC teams when ND continues t turn them down.

But it's all just message board fodder to toss around.

The PAC will stay together and SDSU and SMU to get back to 12 and then its game in with the Big 12. The 12 needs to lock other expansion teams now.

Big 12 likes to wait for everyone else to move first. By then it's too late.

Not with what their new contract will be. No friggin way.

If they do then they will get what they deserve. No excuse for inaction on behalf of the remaining teams in the Pac 10+2-2

The Pac 12 teams will most likely stick together at this point. The only thing that will change the scenario is if the Big 10 raids the Pac again. I don't see that happening in the immediate future. Most of what's being printed at the moment is from a bunch of writers who have nothing else to talk about at the moment. They know there is a group of people who are easy to dupe and will fall for anything they write. Once the season starts all this talk will disappear.

AND PAC will look to pick off a couple B12 programs.
B12 ends to put the dagger into PAC
