That's a good question. There has been

no talk of a B12 network, but with Texas gone, something may happen. If the PAC breaks up, and the ACC gets the schools you listed -Colorado, the B12 could very well get the PAC network, and poof, the B12 has a network. All time zones for the B12, and if they are serious about adding basketball only schools and UConn, the value of the conference would most definitely go up. (the basketball media dollars would have to be separated from the football media deal in the next negotiation for basketball only schools to make sense) Youmark has said he likes the North East, and he has said he wants a West Coast presence. If the ACC takes 6 PAC schools (Colorado is a hill I'm willing to die on, they are not jumping over the 12 to go to the ACC), then that look in on your contract becomes very important, and if there is a Texas team added, the ACC network would be in a very good position to bring in money as well.

Would need to take enough teams, and the right teams to make it work.

If there is a merger, the only one that makes sense is...

I'd leave the B1G and SEC out of this.
Maroon Baboon • 07/24/23 03:18 PM ET
You are consistent, I'll give you that. **
Big12 guy • 07/24/23 02:30 PM ET
I don’t think a merger works. Getting 5 PAC schools to form one division
hokieZ71 • 07/24/23 01:33 PM ET
4 Questions that need to be asked when selecting teams and the # of teams.
Maroon Baboon • 07/24/23 02:51 PM ET
You take 5, and the B12 takes 5 - it could work. **
Big12 guy • 07/24/23 01:36 PM ET
Question for you Big 12 Guy.

That's a good question. There has been ◄
Big12 guy • 07/24/23 03:45 PM ET
How does "poof" get the Big 12 a network?**
33laszlo99 • 07/24/23 05:03 PM ET
It doesn't.....
2hhoop3 • 07/24/23 05:19 PM ET
I didn't mean to imply it's a done deal - just speculation. **
Big12 guy • 07/24/23 05:50 PM ET
I didn't say you implied .....
2hhoop3 • 07/24/23 06:06 PM ET
I agree with that, but the foundation of a network is there
Big12 guy • 07/24/23 06:31 PM ET
Infrastructure is a plus......
2hhoop3 • 07/24/23 06:41 PM ET
That is all true, but we were talking in the context
Big12 guy • 07/24/23 07:57 PM ET
I understood the context fine......
2hhoop3 • 07/24/23 10:40 PM ET
The PAC has a network. If the conference fails, and the ACC gets Oregon,
Big12 guy • 07/24/23 05:08 PM ET
I know we are really dealing in the margins here and getting into minutia.
Maroon Baboon • 07/24/23 03:53 PM ET
CSU is on the list of vetted schools. As is SDSU and
Big12 guy • 07/24/23 05:03 PM ET
WRT the playoff and auto bid issue. It will be interesting to see if after
Maroon Baboon • 07/24/23 05:21 PM ET
I would if I were them. **
Big12 guy • 07/24/23 05:46 PM ET
Good point. The Pac has value to the ACC by able to charge higher
HouClone • 07/24/23 03:28 PM ET
Yeah. I think it raises more questions than answers. But that's why I am
Maroon Baboon • 07/24/23 03:43 PM ET
Yeah, not sure. Maybe Rutgers is a big enough school that the tv partners
HouClone • 07/24/23 04:12 PM ET
Yeah. I think an entire west coast league doesn’t fit todays TV metrics **
hokieZ71 • 07/24/23 02:50 PM ET
Every ACC school takes a pay cut. That's how it works.**
EDGEMAN • 07/24/23 11:07 AM ET
It won’t happen if that’s true, so no need to be concerned about that.**
Stech • 07/24/23 12:40 PM ET
Exactly. This is a wasted exercise.**
EDGEMAN • 07/24/23 01:50 PM ET
2 divisions: East and west. Aside from made-for-tv cross-division games
BAMRising • 07/24/23 10:30 AM ET
Divisions would be how it would work. The Pac has value to tv for the late
HouClone • 07/24/23 01:28 PM ET
#Pac12AfterDark would need to be between two West Coast teams.
Maroon Baboon • 07/24/23 02:39 PM ET
it’s being explored, but the questions are how much $ from ESPN, who would
Stech • 07/24/23 12:46 PM ET
If the media contract look in brought the money
