Great move and 100% agree.

This can't be real.

This sport has gone dumb.

How does the PAC counter this?

Do they make a play for XII schools?

Do they add SDSU and UNLV from the MWC? Keeps them in the game market wise.

Boise St?

BYU I don't think is under a GOR yet for XII. They could always flip west.

It's not a big enough blow to the PAC! They should have taken more.

Now the PAC will likely poach some Big 12 teams.

Big 12 will likely need to grab more teams.

I said a couple of weeks ago 4 super conferences may be off the table, boy was I wrong.

I mean this is devastating to the Pac-12

I think you add some Texas teams from the Big 12.

Texas Tech-Baylor-TCU

Wow

Most valuable PAC-## assets after USC and UCLA?

Washington
Stanford
Cal
Arizona / ASU

If this happens, my prediction ....

Two B12 schools join the PAC, two more AAC schools join the B12

There is the Big Ten counterpunch to Texas/Oklahoma to the SEC.

Plans are in place for Pac-12 powerhouses USC and UCLA to leave the conference for the Big Ten as early as the 2024 athletic season, according to the San Jose Mercury-News' Jon Wilner among multiple reports. Though the move is not yet final, it appears as if the Big Ten is set to make a significant acquisition that will change the college sports landscape.

The transition would be similar to the one that rocked college sports last summer when Texas and Oklahoma opted to leave the Big 12 for the SEC, a move set to transpire ahead of the 2025 season.

That kicked off a realignment bonanza in which the Big 12, American and other conferences saw teams move in and out of their membership. A similar situation will likely occur here if USC and UCLA announce their intentions to depart the Pac-12.

In acquiring the Trojans and Bruins, the Big Ten would transform from largely a midwest conference to one that extends to the West Coast. It would be a significant shift in the college sports landscape at the Power Five level, which has largely been localized with teams mostly belonging to conferences in their geographic area.

If they add Stanford, then you can have the main Notre Dame games as conference games

I could see PAC trying to go to 14. They have to get back into SoCal with SDSU and UNLV would be logical to firm up geography.

Then maybe BYU and Texas Tech to keep a corner on the western market.
