I don’t think it’s a surprise how quickly Thamel & ESPN are reporting on this. Have to believe this move was orchestrated by ESPN and Fox behind the scenes.

CU has rejoined the Big 12 and broken college football - talking out asses continues

I think Washington and Oregon are poachable as well.
Unless Apple wants BSU, California and Stanford would never accept Boise.
I have to shell out an extra $60 a month to get the PAC 12 network. What's ESPN + like $15?
Except we aren’t in the Elite 2 and P3 era just yet. For the foreseeable future, the P3 Champs get autobids into the CFP. Once that goes away, things change dramatically. Big 12 is attractive right now (from football perspective) because if CU can recruit in the top 15 nationally, they’ll be in the CFP most years
Cal and Stanford are going to have to get over it. They don't have options.
Why the Fukk does anyone mention CSU as even a contender for moving up, they suck Ram balls and know it. No value whatsoever to the PAC12, and likely all Android users in Fort Collins don't ya know
Because options are limited and they are in proximity to the Denver media market.
Baylor! We’re comin’ muthafuqersdear b12: we aren't here for a long time, but we are here for a good time.
here come the assholes! soon, you will learn to hate us even more than we hate ourselves.
I think there’s a decent chance those program just say **** it and go G5. Neither care about athletics

I was used to the obscurity. We moved in the shadows. We were the league of shadows.
Seriously I was hoping the major economic hubs of the west coast and mountain time zones could at the very least match what random ass towns in the midwest could come up with.

I have to laugh. How can the PAC12 expand to backfill the teams leaving when they don't have a media deal? If CU does leave, which seems to be a done deal, they will not be the only ones. CU leaving means a media deal is even less likely and this changes the dynamics with the P12 schools. I am sure both Oregon and Washington are looking at their limited options. I suspect we will see 3 other P12 schools quickly follow CU out the door and no UConn in the B12.
The amount of excitement these idots have for our return makes me feel a little warm. Can’t wait for them to hate us again.

It won't take long!
I feel like I’m going to end up in Dallas for rest of my life.. very soon
The big 12 is a big downer for me. My engagement is gonna slip. Oh well. The P12 had its chance if this comes to pass
There's a difference between not caring about athletics and not caring about football (relatively speaking).

What happened is my worst case scenario but it gets worse if somehow Oregon, Washington, Cal, Stanford and Utah end up in the ACC for the time being and get to play FSU and Miami and we’re stuck with UCF. If I’m Prime that’s who I want to play, not some Motel 6 diploma mill.
PAC didn't get shafted...well maybe the schools did but the leadership did this to themselves.
True. The P5 designation, however, is mostly relevant for football, though. They can care about non revenue sports just as much in the G5 ranks. Maybe they decide to go Ivy League.

I don’t know how the university sells a move the alumni base isn’t fully behind. Just flat out odd. There had to be a path to get $31M a year some other way.The big 12 is a big downer for me. My engagement is gonna slip. Oh well. The P12 had its chance if this comes to pass

Reading/hearing tonight that it was ESPN and FOX that told the Big12 to issue a deadline for CU's decision to move or stay. Sounds like Arizona is next on the clock.
There’s nothing that’s going to happen with the ACC. They’d have to blow up their GOR (not happening) or P12 schools would have to agree to join it (also not happening)

Teaming up with a bball school in a conference of bball schools = disaster.
This is absolutely false. Stanford has the best overall dedicated sports facilities in the country and the money to keep it so. They will go indie and be fine. Cal is ****ed by their system politics but they also are not ever going down a level. Never.
