i’ve always kind of thought of stanford as the k-state of the pac12, and k-state as the stanford of the big12, so it would be pretty cool to have the nation’s preeminent research institutions in the same conference.  with that said, their campus is still uber taco belly.  some things never change lol.

With all the cheez-it tostada controversy happening at Taco Bell lately I think it’d be best if we distance ourselves from that situation

KSU and UW should be in the same conference. Colorado would help too.

eff, we should grab the best 4 available from the PAC.  Geographic stuff is obviously out the window.

Washington, Oregon, Utah and Stanford is my vote.

If Washington and Oregon aren't already lined up for the big 10, it's time to give them a call.

Bowlsby might not be around and Yormark hasn't started but maybe there's a receptionist or an intern who could call for us?   :Wha:

Yep. Then when (if ever) the big 10 comes after Washington or Oregon, just grab the next best available team from the old PAC.

The PAC would probably invite teams like SDSU, Boise State, UNLV and SMU.

I think it would be proof to them that their move was justified and they were just getting out of an unstable situation.

I think the money justifies it plenty. I think they are just being jerks.   :don'tcare:

Given that the ACC will lose its top teams, the Big 12 should think about additions that will make it the clear-cut #3 conference. Maybe a mix of the best PAC 12 and ACC leftovers. Why take Colorado over Washington right away as has been suggested?

ACC has an airtight GOR until 2036

Not sure if there is much more value out there for >16 team conference if the ACC GOR doesn't expire until 2036.

I mean they are definitely being when they are trying to justify leaving because of instability when they are the ones that caused that instability. None of these schools/fans can come out and say it's just about money, I mean that would just be ludicrous.

i’m salivating over the idea that the big 12 could dominate the much heralded montana market

I would encourage Big 12 find a lucrative Amazon contract if they decide to swallow up the entire Pac 12.  I think that method of viewing is the ONLY thing that would prevent the conference from being cannibalized.  ESPN and FOX won't pay that $$.  We need to LIV golf this crap up.

I think the Big 10 probably takes Stanford next. That way they have all of Notre Dame's rivals and can get them. That leaves Oregon/Washington for us, plus whatever two leftovers we want.

i was relistening to wefald's appearance on tim fitz's podcast from july 2021. hilarious stuff in real time, but more so now given all that's happened since.

"you haven't heard from anybody at kansas state, either the president or the AD? that's a shame. because here i am, up here in minnesota, and we've already come up with...we've come up with a new conference that i think would pass the test as a power 5 conference. we did it in like, what, a half hour? get this out there. if oklahoma and texas leave, and i think they're going to leave, we have a list of 15 or 16 schools that would make up for a big 12 conference that has national followings - from the army and the navy, to brigham young - and we'd keep the texas schools. listen, kansas state would be left out if the texas schools got into the pac 12."

"i like the president and the AD, but they have to come up with a plan. we've come up with a plan right here on your show. we've come up with, was it 16 schools? that would do it! we would be a power 5 school. if we have the three military academies, plus cincinnati, and memphis, and then one of the florida schools - or both of them? i think both would be great. oh man, how would you like to have the top 22 guys in central florida at kansas state? ... we would really gain a lot by having those two florida schools!"
