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

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.
Maroon Baboon 07/24/23 03:12 PM ET
That's a good question. There has been

How does "poof" get the Big 12 a network?**
33laszlo99 07/24/23 05:03 PM ET
It doesn't.....

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......

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 05:46 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
