No

They weren't stoked about going beyond 14. I think more than 16 to that conference is going to require even more creativity than what has been discussed with potential ACC expansion WSU and Cal can't afford to play for free.

Big 12 may be interested in Pac 4 **
goldendomer • 08/26/23 01:10 PM ET
No interest from the B12. This is pressure tactic from Cal and Stanford. **
xx97 • 08/26/23 05:02 PM ET
I believe - ESPN is stirring the B12 pot because it’s good for them
Hokie12thman • 08/26/23 05:42 PM ET
Let's say the Big 12 adds the 4 remaining Pac-12 schools...
Old Line Hokie • 08/26/23 02:39 PM ET
Stanford and Cal belong in an academic conference, and the ACC is it. **
Big12 guy • 08/26/23 03:54 PM ET
I think you meant the ivy league**
EDGEMAN • 08/26/23 06:23 PM ET
Well, to be honest, that is where they belong. The beer drinking
Big12 guy • 08/26/23 06:25 PM ET
I would be fine with adding Cincinnati along with WVU under your scenario.
Maroon Baboon • 08/26/23 03:48 PM ET
The writing is on the wall, chances are, you will lose those FLA. Schools.
Big12 guy • 08/26/23 04:06 PM ET
Yeah. We are aware of that. Read the context to the thread.
Maroon Baboon • 08/26/23 04:18 PM ET
Doesn't really matter what YOU are planning on
xx97 • 08/26/23 07:00 PM ET
Self-evident.**
Maroon Baboon • 08/26/23 07:28 PM ET
WVU would be leery of joining ACC now
Millpoint • 08/26/23 03:36 PM ET
That 's yet to be seen considering almost everyone...
Old Line Hokie • 08/26/23 07:24 PM ET
Unfortunately it’s all about $
Millpoint • 08/26/23 07:36 PM ET
It’s certainly possible
OU_Sooner • 08/26/23 02:26 PM ET
With ESPN but not Fox
Millpoint • 08/26/23 02:40 PM ET
No ◄
obguthr • 08/26/23 02:57 PM ET
If that happens (it won’t) it almost guarantees the ACC sticks through 2036
hokieZ71 • 08/26/23 02:16 PM ET
The ACC needed to take 7 or more teams from the West to make it make sense.
Maroon Baboon • 08/26/23 01:48 PM ET
Except for the 4 California Pac-12 schools, none of the other Pac-12....
Old Line Hokie • 08/26/23 02:00 PM ET
UW is in the fifties, and AZ / OR / UT are all right around 100 I believe**
LonghornHokie • 08/26/23 03:45 PM ET
I think The B1G will eventually grow the western division. They may want
33laszlo99 • 08/26/23 01:56 PM ET
From what I’ve read - ESPN is behind this
Hokie12thman • 08/26/23 01:32 PM ET
Fresno State seems more passionate about football than Cal and Stanford.
Maroon Baboon • 08/26/23 01:51 PM ET
Makes more sense than the ACC...
Old Line Hokie • 08/26/23 01:30 PM ET
Makes more sense to me too, @ least they can regionalize the non-rev sports**
Stech • 08/26/23 01:51 PM ET
Perhaps this will push the ACC to finish the deal**
LeadingEdge • 08/26/23 01:26 PM ET
or maybe just another rumor someone thinks will have that effect**
Vienna_Hokie • 08/26/23 01:29 PM ET
Can’t see this happening
Millpoint • 08/26/23 01:25 PM ET
If these four all end up in The MWC, ESPN has no FB content in the Pacific
33laszlo99 • 08/26/23 01:52 PM ET
Isn’t Arizona on PST from March until November?
Millpoint • 08/26/23 02:15 PM ET
Mountain Time zone schools already do "After dark" games.**
xx97 • 08/26/23 05:01 PM ET
I think that's right.**
33laszlo99 • 08/26/23 02:27 PM ET
So UA and ASU could easily do "After Dark"
