#1) USC/UCLA could each play one of them every year and then alternate.FremontTroll said:
Oh so now UCLA and USC are going to leave Cal and Stanford too? It gets better and better.godawgst said:
Your right that the Pac won't be able to keep Texas in check, and your going to take a lot of shit for giving them special deals, but I'd rather have them in the conf. and defend that position versus bitching/moaning/whining/ and having to try and sell the rest of CFB why the newly form West Coast Conference consisting of The current Pac-12 and Colorado State/BYU/Boise/Fresno St/San Diego State/San Jose State but minus UCLA and SC) is a 16 team power conf. just like the other four but gets no respect from the evil east coast bias media and thus gets screwed every year come 8 team playoff time.Fire_Marshall_Bill said:I'm very wary of Texass because of how they almost single handidly destroyed the Big 12, and at the least weakened it. They bring a lot to the table, but they're a school that needs to be kept in check, and a guy like Larry Scott and the ivory tower, p.c. West Coast types aren't the people to do it.
#2) Until 10 years ago, do you really think SC/UCLA gave two shits or sweated playing either one of them b.h (before Harbaugh)
#3) By your logic, if it ever came down to us having to stay in the irrelevant Pac-12 (for whatever reason) or move to the BIG XII we would stay so as not to ruin the rivalry and history of playing the Oregon Schools. I for one couldn't stand the thought of missing out on the Beavs (and before 1994 and Phil Knight happened) the Ducks.
If SC ever thought the Pac-12 was odd man in the superconference sweepstakes they would be holding open interviews w/ the other conferences before the week was out and would let the whole world know it. -
If I was an executive, even if good answers were found here, I wouldn't sift through all the BS to find the good suggestionsTequilla said:Likely the beginning of the next shake up of trying to get 4 conferences of 16 schools.
PAC needs 4 schools
SEC, ACC, and Big 10 all need 2 schools
Big 12 has 10 schools ... presence of ND makes 11 ... but would be pretty much bound to ACC.
Oklahoma and Texas are obviously the big prizes ... I don't think that there's any chance Oklahoma and Oklahoma don't show up somewhere together.
Kansas may be a fit for the Big 10 because of basketball.
West Virginia probably has somewhere to go whether ACC or Big 10 ... they bring enough to the table.
Iowa State and KState are really basketball schools that probably don't have a home for football.
The non-Texas Texas-based Big 12 schools all have some issues. Tech is the biggest but in the worst location and not really any kind of academic pedigree (#RaiderRash) ... TCU has good programs and academics but the "C" could turn some off as well it being a smaller private school versus large state school ... Baylor is even more of a religion problem than TCU and is facing more uncertainty with what is going on with their football program not to mention the location is shit.
Then you have the non Power 5 schools that have some kind of asset that they bring to the table ... this includes Boise, UConn, Houston, UCF, and Memphis.
Nothing works for the PAC without starting with the Oklahoma schools. I doubt Boise can get their academics up enough or brings really enough to the table (across the board) to warrant inclusion. Probably have to bite the bullet with Texas. That leaves 1 remaining spot for another Texas school. I'd expect the split then to go PAC8 vs New8.
