Cry about it if you want but you're still in it. And it's been alot more successful than you or the Pac 12 since you left.

That would be a very fun conference. Plus screws over Utah. Oregon and Washington gotta see that a BIG invite isn't coming this cycle. Everyone needs to understand no individual school is running the show. If anyone wants to swing their pecker, they can be left out for all I care. For the first time in it's history the Big XII is functional and I want to keep it that way.
Oh, we're in it.Cry about it if you want but you're still in it. And it's been alot more successful than you or the Pac 12 since you left.
B12 will be the clear #3 behind B1G & SEC if that happened.
I'm not convinced UO & UW are coming.
Along with Cal & Stanford.

Oregon and Washington are not joining. You can etch that statement in stone.
FSU fits so well with the SEC. Gulf Coast and fan support is so similar. I think they're a much more natural fit there while Miami feels more like a B1G school if they were to leave.
If the Big10 won't take them, you think they won't jump the line over UA, ASU, and UU?
This is no longer about what they want or would prefer. This is about there being no more options.

Thatd be incredible.
Half the ACC is actively looking to depart from the ACC. If all the smart guy lawyers who have assuredly gone through every word of the GOR to find a loophole haven't been able to find one by now, it doesn't exist.

Unlike Colorado, Oregon and Washington have been in actual talks with the B1G recently. The prospect of them getting a bid is real. Based on that, they’ll hold out and make due with whatever P12 arrangement they have until the invite comes. We would do the exact same thing if we were getting the same signals they were getting from the B1G.
They will make a play to the Pac-9 for an unequal share and all other policies in their favor for them to become leaders of the conference and get special treatment in exchange for holding it together for all those whose other options are worse.
I will be shocked if the Pac stays together, UO & UW are part of it, and there's an equal revenue share with a strong GOR.
There have been a lot of these definitive statements thrown around the past year or two. I don't think you're in any position to say this.
They have been told NO by the Big10. Fox isn't going to give them more money if they add UO and UW.
So you are telling me Oregon and Washington are going to take $20M a year and be relegated to Apple TV for 90% of their games for the next 6 years on the hope that the B1G invites them next time around?
I don't think so.

This one I’m certain of for the reasons I mentioned above.
Unless you're privvy to the "talks" between the B1G and Oregon and Washington, you are not certain of this.

They absolutely are going to go for that. You’re missing the unequal playoff revenue part in this equation. Those two + Utah have very little competition going forward w/ Prime out of the picture.
True, but Stanford has a sea of cash and could probably pull of going Indy. Cal might have enough pull to get a soft landing somewhere. OSU and Wazzu are about to be consigned to oblivion.

Well I’m calling my shot. If Oregon and Washington join the B12 I’ll delete this account and my Twitter account.
I mean, the odds are definitely in your favor on this, but there shouldn't be anything definitive being said about realignment at this point... Except for the ACC GOR. That **** is iron clad until someone can point to anything that suggests there might be a way out of it.
If true, means ESPN/Fox said they only want one more. That makes me lean towards Zona.
Only way out is to get 7 schools to vote to dissolve.
FSU
Clemson
VT
UNC
Miami, maybe...
Still 2 short.
If UW and UO stay, it is because they are getting over on everyone else with an unequal share and every other perk they desire. The P12-3 simply cannot say no now.
SC and UCLA did a number on the P12 and now it is every team for themselves. CU leaving doesn't kill it, but it puts the P12-3 on the critical list. They can't afford UO or UW leaving, they might, underline might, survive if UA leaves, but that would be a very close call.
