Do you think that would help us for football or Vanderbilt us if we are in SEC?
Edit: if it happens I would rather be SEC than BIG whatever personaly

I think we have a path out that Vanderbilt doesnât but I think itâs more like kentucky- perpetual bottom feeder unless we find our Stoops

My biggest hope in all this is that we end up in a P2 or whatever the top division is and VT ends up lost in the wilderness (or the Big XII, same thing).

My gut feeling is FSU, VT, Louisville, Pitt, and maybe Miami feel like BIG12 teams to me. Feel like a fit with what that conference is pulling together. But Iâm sure theyâll all want P2 status and will fight hard to get it.

I tried doing this sensibly back in 2015, on company time. Most of the relevant schools managed to find a home but admittedly 64 may have been too many institutions

If the Pac4 was smart they would have their football media day on pay-per-view to recoop the financial losses.

This reminds me of the sportswriter who wrote (couple years ago) a snarky bit proposing that maybe all the schools should simply merge into one giant conference, âwe can call it, I donât know, the National Colleges Associating for Athleticsâ, and then that conference could split up into divisions based on regional geographyâŠ

Wonder if the Mountain West absorbs all these pac leftovers as others here have suggested
I was hesitant to post it but there were some valid and interesting points in the article

I would have thought that Stanford was more valuable than Washington (or ASU or Utah)

Stanfordâs athletics department is obviously fantastic, but theyâre an exclusive private school with an enrollment below 20,000. Washington has like 45,000+ students and is a flagship state university located in a major metropolitan center. In terms of which brings more eyeballs - which is all that matters anymore - I feel like Washington is probably more valuable.
Seeing the name reminded me of this:
Awkward time to have your president resigning due to a research scandal.
