OceaniaDuck No. 50 Share Posted August 6, 2023 (edited) Just remember LS, the name that will go down in infamy as destroying the PAC-12 conference. GK is also culpable, but IMO not as much as LS. That said, I hope Oregon State and Wazzu follow the 4 corner schools at least to the BIG-12 as they are good enough to compete in that conference. Ideally, I do hope they can join us in the B1G but that seems like a stretch at least for now. Edited August 6, 2023 by OceaniaDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But GK also should take on significant blame for his alarmingly aloof attitude and inability to read the room. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems it would be a lot easier to get into the playoffs with the PAC as the launching point. Back to the thread topic, What are the chances of the 4 teams that are left adding 4 more teams to keep a PAC 8 alive? The Mountain West just got a lot harder to leave.

Didn't the Pro Rata state that G5 schools would receive a partial share but P5 schools, a full share? Granted, I'm sure the Beavs would just love a soft place to land at this point, but a full share would certainly make for a much more comfortable crash... That's what it said and I agree that OR ST is not in a position to demand a full share. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tandaian No. 56 Share Posted August 7, 2023 4 mil from Mountain West or 15(?) mil from Big 12? I'd take the Big 12. Remember the PAC only needs 6 teams to be considered a conference. They get 2 more teams for 2 years, the winner of the PAC likely gets an automatic bid to the CFP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
