Pac-12 Expansion: What Schools Should The Conference Target?

With George Kliavkoff hired as the new Pac-12 commissioner, conference expansion is about to be a topic … maybe. What schools should be targeted? Pac-12 Conference Expansion: 10 Ideas For Sc…

Are we back to this again?? Of course there are four Big XII teams on their list.

**** the PAC 12 with a garden hoe

I read thru most of that and LOL at it.

They get a new commissioner and now all their problems are gone and they’re ready for world domination.

Honestly I think the Nevadas could be a nice fit.

LOL Reads more like a clickbait article. Not withstanding the fact that none of the Big 12 schools on the list would want anything to do with such nonsense, (geographical nightmare) most of the other schools make sense...at least the Nevada schools anyway.

The Pac 12 has two major problems, and the author appears oblivious to both. One is that the conference sucks right now, and the other is that for the most part fans are apathetic. Vegas could certainly play a part in bringing the conference back to relevancy, and it would make sense to bring in lesser schools like UNLV and Nevada now while no one is paying attention. But until they figure out how to make the conference relevant again, expansion is the last thing they should be worrying about.

You can tell there’s nothing for sportswriters to write about again

Let’s go to another conference and make less and have less media exposure playing at 9 pm.

If any schools from OK or TX went they’d probably regret it in some form down the road. Would just be an awkward fit.

Think UNLV would be the best add. Vegas is growing, a lot of media and entertainment money, NFL and NHL seem to think it’s a good sports town, best destination for fans & CCGs/tournaments.

Difficulties aside, BYU would be a good add for a number of reasons. Especially paired with Utah.

LOL, that was some lazy expansion talk. Those west coast people don't care about collegiate sports, too many other things to do out there, pro sports, nice weather etc....
the bell cows of USC and UCLA have been down for a while now and nobody cares about the rest. Oregon and Stanford have both been good but aren't great right now.

Dear Pete: 2010 called. It wants its 2010 back.

 

[SEIOWA CLONE]

The odds are better that teams will leave the Pac 12 for the Big 12 than the other way around. This is not 10 years ago, why would OU want a more difficult path to the college football playoff and playing half their conference games at 9:00 central time to move to the West Coast?

There is dumb and then totally stupid and this is just stupid.

If your water drains into the Atlantic, then you have no business being in the Pacific Oceans 12 conference.

People are still talking about media market size? Good lord. Especially coming from a Pac 12 perspective where they have totally failed at launching a network.

 

[cyatheart]

Yeah, problem with Pac 10 is nobody cares about it in that part of the country. The fan bases are just way smaller for those schools than anyone thought 10 years ago.

Big 12 has tons of problems to, but would rather be the Big 12 right now than the Pac 10.

This is the equivalent of someone writing an article pondering whether Stuckey's will be expanding by absorbing some of the existing Cracker Barrel locations.

What problems does the Big 12 have?

When they know they can't compete with Sizzler

Like what? Big 12 seems to be doing pretty well right now.
