Are you nuts?  It's been talked about how they get the non-value FB schools out of conferences by dissolving existing conferences, as we did in 1994 with the SWC.  Starting new conferences, such as the SEC talked about forming a new conference to include the best of the SEC and ACC.  The schools left out would need to form a new conference.  Another way is unequal sharing of annual payouts, which would eventually force schools to drop out; but this is the worst way to accomplish the goal.

Us adding leftovers from the PAC-10 is the schools left out forming a new conference.

So you're fine with the Big XII being a 3rd rate mop-up conference.  While we're at it let's get Wake Forrest, Syracuse, Boston College, Rutgers, etc.  :ROFL:

Wait, you think we're either on the same tier as the Big 10 and the SEC or ever have a chance of being on that tier? We exist in college football's middle class, along with the ACC and Pac 12. We'll remain on that level, regardless of how many other schools on our level that we gobble up. Whether the conference is 10 teams or 24 we'll always be worse than those two but better than the AAC, Mountain West, and Fun Belt.

Yes, we're the rough ridin' low-class, mop-up conference.  I'm glad you dorks aren't picking teams for the Big XII.

It would be nice if we add the two AZ schools, SDSU, and Utah.  Oh, let CU rot in the MW conference.

When the playoff expands in 2026 it’ll just become a permanent semi-final location.

I am not sure this is really "new" info but given that Brett is usually on top of realignment news this may be increased smoke signals he is getting behind the scenes or it could just be re-uping old news for more traffic.

PAC is soon going to want a commitment that Oregon won't want to give. Messy.

Bold predictions
Dennis Dodd: Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark will add four Pac-12 teams during the season in a renegotiated deal with ESPN that will start in 2024. As a consequence, Texas and Oklahoma will be let out of their deal a year early and begin playing in the SEC in 2024. /quote]
