I know we are really dealing in the margins here and getting into minutia.

But if CU would prefer the Big 12, and the state of Colorado was valuable enough for the ACCN, Colorado State would not be a bad option. But while Colorado is a fast growing state, I just don't think there is enough population there for the ACC to take CSU. But again, I don't know the numbers, so I could be wrong.

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.

You are consistent, I'll give you that. **

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. **

Question for you Big 12 Guy.

That's a good question. There has been

How does "poof" get the Big 12 a network?**

It doesn't.....

I didn't mean to imply it's a done deal - just speculation. **

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,

CSU is on the list of vetted schools. As is SDSU and

WRT the playoff and auto bid issue. It will be interesting to see if after

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

Divisions would be how it would work. The Pac has value to tv for the late
