sad BIG12 fan No. 1 Share Posted June 30, 2022 If I had to guess the Biggest and Best Programs in the PAC12 & BIG12 merge. PAC12: Oregon, Washington, CAL, Stanford, Utah, ASU, Arizona & Colorado. BIG12: Kansas, TECH, OSU, ISU, Baylor, TCU, Kansas St. AAC: BYU, Houston & Cincinnati 18 Great Schools Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would remain the weakest Power 3(?) conference and I think it would still suffer longevity issues (prolonging the time before the better teams were plucked out of this new conference). Granted, this might be the best bet for these schools as a whole, but I have to think joining the B10 is what would be best for Oregon...and while selfish, can anyone blame us for that during this time of upheaval and greed?

Tandaian No. 3 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Yeah, when you don't have revenue sharing, everybody goes their own way. USC/UCLA leaving would absolutely cripple the Pac 12, but wouldn't kill it. However, UO and UW leaving would kill it. I'd like to pick and choose schools for merging, but I feel like OSU/UO and WSU/UW are joined at the hip.

Conference Championship of the two divisions...interesting! Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG12: Kansas, TECH, OSU, ISU, Baylor, TCU, Kansas St. AAC: BYU, Houston & Cincinnati 18 Great Schools To me there's enough there to be in the same ballpark as the potential expanded Big10, in particular Baylor/Utah/BYU/Houston/Cincinnati...certainly way more competitive than the ACC.
