Kirk Bohls of Austin Statesman (connected UT beatwriter) wrote last night that he thinks UT, OU, Tech and OSU to Pac-12 will be announced by October 1 of this year.
This means that CU, Utah, Arizona and Arizona State would get thrown into a Southwest Division with the 4 B12 South schools. As everyone here knows, this would be bad for CU.
As I understand, expansion in Pac-12 requires 9 yes votes. This means that CU, Utah, Arizona and Arizona State can block expansion -- or, at the least, ensure that expansion doesn't cripple their programs. We need to band together to fight the move to a SouthWest/PacWest division alignment and fight for, at the very least, a pod system with 3-2-2-2 scheduling. Still not ideal, but better than 2 straight divisions.
Can anyone with more message board time than I tell me if Utah/Arizona/Arizona State fans are on board with this? If so, I'd love to see more and more pressure by those schools fans on their administrators to make sure Larry Scott doesn't go straight divisions.
