Yes from the Conferences going out to get other schools. However, some schools might be trying to trade conferences. I love how the cover is, well we (Conference) are okay, but they came to us, so we had to listen. Same line every time. Second, was, why is the PAC deal taking so long? Answer, these things take time. No, see the first answer, in other words schools in the PAC are trying to leave the PAC for the B1G and B12. Third, he talks about if the PAC will survive? He said yes, but the real question is whether it will be a Power Conference. The answer is almost certainly no. Fourth, he mentions ESPN and the B12, but he didn't say much about Fox and the B12. I am not sure if he is just trying to lay low with Fox and the B12 so they can get them at a better price or there isn't much interest on their part. He did mention that the B12 especially if they get Arizona would and could already be tier 1 in basketball. Fifth, he talks about Cincinnati being in the East and the B12 being a more Western Conference. I could see not only Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado and Utah to the B12. However, 'if" West Virginia and Cincinnati go to the ACC, why not the B12 pick up two new states and take Oregon State and Washington State? Especially if ESPN picks up the B12. Fox has those states if Oregon and Washington go to the B1G (likely with Cal and Stanford), but ESPN does not. ** Edited by Stech at 9/16/2022, 9:57:36 AM

conference network. Ore. St. and Wash. St. would have to earn their way into The Big 12 as "brands" or because of fanbase. They likely fall short.

I am not saying it’s going to happen, but it’s not far fetched either.

Longhorn network already on various cable satellite and internet services. Espn has the money now to better balance rights with rhe acc and big 12 if some members get rebalanced I think fox got their money all in on the big 10 and planned increase for oregon wash .. Only thing with fox guy saying big 12 evolving into a tier 1 basketball. I wonder someone is desiring to take acc down as the sec of college basketball .

that would be a great strategy IMHO. ** Edited by Stech at 9/17/2022, 9:35:15 AM

Having a good inventory of western 🏈 & 🏀 schools without paying a max price.
