Rejoining an old conf that has lost Nubs, OU, Texas, A&M, and Mizzou since we left is horrible.
I aspire to be a lot of things too

Yeah I don’t know why people sugarcoat what the B12 is now. They’ve cobbled together what they could and have a place in CFB. It’s just as a minor league conference. They know it, they like it. Works for them. Tbh I never thought about the B12 until this whole situation came about.
P12 still has 6 state flagship schools. It owns the mountain and pacific timezones. It doesn’t know what it is yet (possibly f’ed) but there are options (expand, merge, etc). Doesn’t have to be a lost cause but that’s how it’s shaping up.

Does the PAC "own" the west when USC and UCLA will often be on tv?
"Next Saturday Nebraska at UCLA. And then the week after Ohio State at USC" Ugh
I get it, but unless the SEC and B1G are on line two, it is time to dance with the tallest midget.
How you gonna dox Big Jim like that??
USC and UCLA own the Pacific Time Zone and the Big 12 now has a MTZ option in BYU. The Pac 12 doesn’t own ****
Pics or GTFO.

But staying in the P12-2, oh wait the P-12-3, oh wait maybe the P12-6 is a better option how?
No TV deal, no money!!!!
Because you dont want to be part of a league that likes football, because its red states, and ****ty towns?
I don't like the Big 12, and the new members make it even ****tier than it was before.
I was really hoping 8 of the PAC schools could find a way to merge with 8 of the ACC schools, or partner with the entirety of the ACC in some way. I think that would be our best opportunity for future revenue, and a place in a non-****ty conference with a good roster of institutions.
IMO outside of basketball, there is honestly nothing compelling about competing in the Big 12. Nothing.

6 Flag ship schools? Really who? We are talking football for TV ratings, not academics.
If the p12 had 6 flagship football universities we would have a TV deal.
The P12 owns 2 time zones that no one gives a f#ck about football in. Those that did give a f#ck (or at least kind of did) just left for the BIG

Yeah USC and UCLA were so bullish on the Pac future success they grabbed a lifeboat before anyone else in the conference knew the ship was sinking. Both schools are sitting on the beach counting their $$$ sipping margaritas wondering if anyone else survived.
I don’t like the Big12 at all, but the reality is that the end game has to be positioning ourselves for even the slightest chance at a P2 move ahead of the next media deal. To do that CU needs to demonstrate long term commitment to improving its entire athletic brand and investing in these programs. Hiring Prime is a great first step but that doesn’t suddenly make people forget the last 20 years. The best way to continue that investment is to maximize revenue and the Big12 seem to offer more revenue than the PAC. So easy decision IMO even if it isn’t anyone’s dream scenario.
There really isn’t anything special about the B12. The tallest midget comment is spot on.
I weep over the demise of an athletic conference that had been around for 100 years, had multiple national champions across multiple sports. Good schools playing good sports and now it’s all gone. Replaced by NFL lite that’s run by networks and greed. Yeah, they may cobble together a few straggler G5 programs and remain in some greatly diminished capacity. Yippee. This absolutely sucks. Honestly, if it wasn’t for Prime, I’d probably walk away. I don’t need this **** anymore. I can’t stomach what college sports has devolved to.

It's not even the tallest midget, it's just the one with the biggest wallet
UT rears its ugly head once again. The NCAA gave the wrong school the death penalty.
Personally, I am counting on the mutant cow to wreak havoc in the SEC.
maybe we are playing chess while the other suckers are playing checkers...
CU leaks that it is out of the pac, right on the eve of a new pac deal to be announced. tv deal collapses and thus the conference dissolves. big10 swoops in and takes uw and uo and CU and utah.
everyone will be THANKING the brilliant tactics then, won't they?
yeah, that's it. for sure.

Will be required viewing. Might be the most interesting thing in college sports at this point.

What can I say. I’m tired of the east coast bias. I care even less about 2nd rate Texas schools. I want to see the west coast and mountain schools band together. I liked the idea then and still do regardless of USC.
