Come up with a realistic conference realignment that cuts out the PAC.RaceBannon said:ESPN is going to launch the ACC Network. So that's 3 out of 4. It's between the Big12 and the Pac.
We? lose
Sorry to interrupt the self-hate session but it's not happening.
You're welcome.
We already saw during the last realignment that the Big12 was in the weakest position by far due to having the smallest footprint by population, their location getting squeezed in between three other conferences, and the unequal sharing of power between Texas and the rest. Those issues have only worsened with the defections and the incursion of the SEC into Texas.
There is no PAC school that makes sense as an expansion target for other schools culturally, geographically, or economically. Which is why there has never even been a rumor floated of such happening.
Washington and Oregon (and their little brothers) aren't going to be left out in favor of WVU and Iowa State.
Why do they need the Pacific Northwest?
Why do they need Iowa State, West Virginia, Baylor, Kansas State, or Texas Tech? -

You do point out several schools that can die in a fire though. The eventual culling of two mediocre conferences into the Western power conference will be interesting. -
Did Larry the little bitch fly to Houston to try to head off the Big 10 or did they come to him after he demanded they come for an interview?

But USC and UCLA would abandon the Pacific NW schools if it allowed them into the Texas Market.FremontTroll said:

That trumps both scenarios even if UW/Oregon is >>> WVU and Iowa State. -
Precisely. They'll take the dollars and more national recognition over the Northwest in a second if the right deal emerges.godawgst said:

I'll only accept taking Texas and OU if we can finally get rid of WSU and Oregon State.

People forget that the California schools already dumped 75% of the northwest schools once in the early 60s.
I was there -
But in Race's mythical Pac-B12 super conference scenario it wouldn't be PAC NW vs. Texas it would be PAC NW vs. the dregs of the B12. UW and UO are never getting left out of a major conference in favor of Iowa State, WVU, KState, etc. It's just a basic understanding of leverage and bargaining. The PAC is stronger than the B12 and UW is stronger than at least 15 out of the 22 schools.godawgst said:

Try to make your masochistic wet dreams more realistic.
