Not surprising. No conference wants Calford or SMU.

I don’t think the ACC really wants these schools either, but the commissioner, ND, and a few other members are trying to squeeze a few more dollars out of ESPN in a weak attempt to placate the members wanting to leave. Clearly the only interest is in the money, not the schools Stanford gave away tickets for free at their last two home football games and their stadium was still empty. ** Edited by WBGV at 8/27/2023, 1:09:19 PM

Brett McMurphy reporting that Big12 engaging PAC-4 is a hoax
HOO86 • 08/27/23 10:20 AM ET
I lean toward made up or put out there to put pressure on ACC
Hokie12thman • 08/27/23 02:40 PM ET
I think the B12 will want to add the PAC4, if we walk away.
Truthahn • 08/27/23 01:56 PM ET
Dennis Dodd reported that same, some Cal people are feeding their beat guy**
BROman Hokie • 08/27/23 12:48 PM ET
Hmmm, Cal and Stanford are in negotiations concerning money,

I don’t think the Big 12 has any interest in Stanford or Cal
Millpoint • 08/27/23 10:52 AM ET
Its the other way around for Cal and Stanford.**
VaTechHokiesACC • 08/27/23 08:10 PM ET
You can have them
Millpoint • 08/27/23 08:54 PM ET
Why wouldn’t the Big 12 want a California presence?
corvt2000 • 08/27/23 12:45 PM ET
I don’t think their politics line up well with most Big 12 states
Millpoint • 08/27/23 04:50 PM ET
No more pro rata $, the B12 would be cutting the pie 2 more ways**
BROman Hokie • 08/27/23 02:56 PM ET
and vice versa**
daveinop • 08/27/23 11:15 AM ET
moreso vice versa. Cal and Stanford made it clear early on. No interest.**

You can have them**
Millpoint • 08/27/23 11:33 AM ET
Apparently so
daveinop • 08/27/23 11:48 AM ET
Given that Stanford won the Director's Cup 26 times
HOO86 • 08/27/23 12:16 PM ET
Big 12 will never invite SMU**
Millpoint • 08/27/23 11:51 AM ET
To me SMU and TCU are about the same.
HOO86 • 08/27/23 12:45 PM ET
Death penalty was a long time ago
Millpoint • 08/27/23 04:47 PM ET
If you have Baylor, TT, TCU and Houston, why would you?
hokieZ71 • 08/27/23 12:24 PM ET
I agree**
daveinop • 08/27/23 11:54 AM ET
Ahh, middle school.
