I'm guessing maybe similar for Missouri but who knows.

I know Arizona state recruits Texas pretty hard because that is where Todd Graham's background is from. Them being in a Texas conference could help them.

Not sure what a normal year is for ASU but their 2016 class only had 3 from Texas and 6 from California.

I was looking more at there over all roster. I know he has 15 players from Texas which is pretty high for not having a texas school in their conference. They do get a lot of California players but I think they would do fine with switching to getting Texas players and Cali players.

Maybe the rumors are true and UCLA isn't happy in the Pac and they would come too. I rather not get too ahead of ourselves and start dreaming.

Agreed!

Thinking of the PAC....

My thought on any potential instability was centered more around how they would go about solving it. I don't see any PAC schools heading for the Big 12. I think that would be counterproductive and too risky.

What they could do though is try to merge with the core of the Big 12. That solves most everyone's problems.

Outside of that, I would think the B1G would be interested in Colorado, but I don't see anyone defecting from the PAC unless it's that sort of move.

I don't know if Colorado would want to join the B10. The reason they wanted in the PAC was because California has the second most CU alumni outside of Colorado. coloraod also gets a lot of Cali kids and didn't fit in with the Midwestern culture of the big 8 schools.

Agreed. The Old big 8 was the perfect home for Colorado for many years. Then during the Big 12 years alumni base and travel options made the PAC a more natural fit

This is the project revenue the big 12 should get with no expansion.

Something that I found interesting is it looks like ISU is tried with TTU at 5 with the most money made. Hard to tell with these graphs though.
