It really is.

I could see UTEP, and maybe UNT, UTSA, Tulsa, Rice saying oops to the AAC and going to the MWC instead, but only if the money was right. I still think Memphis and SMU find their way into the B12 somehow. Would SMU consider a P12 invite?

Why would the Big12 take Memphis and SMU when they can get Oregon, Arizona St., Arizona, Colorado, etc.???

I think Oregon goes B10, Colorado goes SEC. You've got a point with the Arizonas. Maybe its my lack of west coast awareness, but I think Memphis and to some degree SMU have strong brands. If the B12 doesn't take them, Perhaps the ACC does if it loses Clemson, FSU etc. Though WVU would likely get a call from the ACC (or SEC) and Memphis could replace them.

Last rumor I have heard was Oregon and Washington to the Big10. Colorado would never join the SEC. The Big12 was too much for them to handle. The only school in the Big12 that will get a shot at the SEC is Oklahoma State, which I think happens. The other three will come from the ACC if they stick with the 20 each plan. The Arizona's are in play (I think) for the Big10 too. There are just so many scenarios right now. We are all throwing darts at a map. I mean who would have thunk UCLA and USC to the Big10? I think Wazzou and Oregon State are hanging on for dear life and Cal and Stanford have some soul searching to do. Utah could join the Big12 especially is Colorado holds their noses and does it too.

UO and Udub are dang near out the door and into the B1G10... and SOME big dawg reporter/tweeter dude noted that the BIGXII is 'in active talks' with Arizona, Arizona St., Utah, and Colorado... that leaves Stanford and Cal, who also should get the BIG10 call (Cal flagship, coupled with UCLA; Stanford big rival of ND for some reason... IF ND jumps into BIG10 as well - and these two are in the Silicon Valley region, meaning big $$$ floating around for NIL deals...) ...that leaves WAZZOU and the Beavers, who will be MWC-bound - or they might just re-name the MWC the PAC to save the 'legacy' or whatever... not sure if anything else is pending, but... something tells me a LOT more is REALLY pending...

The Pac-12 is still financially and brand wise stronger than the B12. I don’t see any of those schools defecting to the B12 unless Washington, Oregon, Arizona State and Stanford bail.

The B12 has Kansas basketball and Oklahoma State but really none of the others match the Pac-12 four

Memphis and SMU could go to Big 12 or SDSU and Boise to the Pac-12. Both are plausible

There are so many possible ways this could end up going.

The Sunbelt fans think the Sunbelt will be joining the tier with the Leftover P5 schools, I kid you not.


P2
P5/ Top G5 Sunbelt

the rest of FBS


Sure I can see the likes of Oklahoma State, Pitt and Baylor joining up with Troy, Georgia state/southern, Louisiana Monroe/Lafayette

The PAC-12 is definitely weaken by losing USC and UCLA, the possibility that the Pac-12 invites SDSU and Boise is plausible.

The B1G and the SEC has just cemented themselves as the top 2 conferences.

We will see what happens when the CFP revenue is negotiated, no doubt the P2 will want a larger slice than before

Who said that? No link. No current G5 program will be joining what I believe will shake out to be the P4.

The SBC is in a good place to pick up pieces from other G5s if we lose 1-2 members though.

Big12 scrambles to add SMU and Memphis (still falling out of the P4) and if the AAC takes GA St we grab WKU.

Please NO!!!! Although I have no say in what WKU does , I have ZERO desire to be in the worst basketball league in all of FBS and assocuated with a large number of football programs that are barely FBS. Yes, they will have 4 or 5 good football teams in the SBC but the other 9 or 10 will make it a cluster of a supposed FBS league.

Yeah I agree. That’s delusional talk from the App State fan. While WKU might consider it for stability. WKU is still going to be cashing the exit fee checks!

It will definitely be a tough decision for WKU not just “grab” Majority of the Sunbelt are real stinkers in football and basketball. And now with bloated 14, the small pie is sliced even more

Delusion over there is epic. I always support positivity but they've entered a whole new level of wackadoodle.

Even their plans for ECU, UAB and any other AAC team are wackadoodle. There are MAJOR flaws in the plan that they are either oblivious to or are outright ignoring.

1. Regardless of what SBC fans think, the AAC schools feel there is separation. You can never ignore the importance of arrogance in conference realignment. Ironic, coming from a LA Tech fan.

2. The AAC bylaws are clear and cannot be worked around like Conference USA. Schools like UAB just forfeited two years of media revenue to join the AAC. They WILL NOT pay 10 million to join the Sun Belt. ESPN WILL NOT pour that much money into what will be an FCS league within the next four years. G5 schools are nothing but filler midweek TV at this point.

3. ESPN WILL NOT destroy their own entity. There is a reason no SBC schools made the jump to the AAC and it isn’t because they turned them down. The Sun Belt has schools that could have / would have been quality additions to the AAC. Georgia State is a metro market with a large enrollment. They fit the mold but were passed over.

The one thing I think you could finally see out of this is regional realignment. But that won’t happen until the media money dries up for everyone at the G5 level. Once there is no money left, you’ll see a regional realignment of most of the AAC/SBC/C-USA. IMO it’ll be the eastern half of the SBC that starts that trend.

Looked, didn’t see from which post you took that leap to make your claim…

Perhaps it doesn’t exist.

Sorry but if GA St is grabbed, WKU will be the first name called.

Look at the bright side it will be easier to get the one bid from either conference there.
