Conference realignment news...four Big 12 affiliates (AF, UNC, NDSU, SDSU) moving to Pac-12 next season.

This was a March 31 press release, FYI.


Northern Illinois is also set to join, so they'll have a 9-team league with Oregon State, Little Rock, Bakersfield, and Cal Poly.

NDSU and SDSU are a bit of a loss.

Wonder if the Big 12 stays status quo or tries adding a few schools. Little Rock would be a fit.

With the 4 going to Pac-12 and CBU dropping, the Big 12 will be at 9:

Iowa State
Arizona State
Missouri
Northern Iowa
Oklahoma
Oklahoma State
Utah Valley
West Virginia
Wyoming

The Pac-12 is now also back to being a viable conference, since they're going from 4 to 9.

That seems odd to leave the Big 12. Do you think this is just to be more competitive within the conference?

IMO, it helps both leagues.

The plus/minus of losing NDSU and SDSU can be argued, but it very much looks like a travel-partner situation as well.

Or maybe we go eight man brackets with a pigtail match. I'm just thinking out loud while waiting for portal news, lol.
