Pac-12 Expansion Preferences

Still don’t understand why people think any current or future BXII school would want to be in the Pac-10/12

It's all cyclical. If in a snapshot, everyone would have thought the PAC 12 was the most valuable conference when Carrol was at U$C 25 years ago. The long play favors the one west coast conference over the 3rd tier southern/2nd tier Texas conference.

Cincy is a coaching change away from being garbage, Houston is well Houston, the rest are leftovers from an already picked over party.
 
i don't think it should be that hard to understand-- the b12 deal expires next year. it conceivably makes the entire slate free agents like we are now.

if the pac can get a tv deal done that increases the likely payouts for the remaining pac and some of the b12, then those b12 teams will leave effective at the end of their current deal and come to the pac.

there aren't a ton of them i would want--- but a handful could increase the split for those schools and us compared to where we are all sitting now.

this is also the same reason the b12 is trying to get some p12 schools to join but they have slightly less flexibility because they are a year behind the pac on free agency and the new b12 teams coming in are dilutive to the overall value of what they are doing now.

I'm not sure why that would be so. A network wants a few teams out west for late games, not a conference full of them. Meanwhile, having teams in every other time zone, particularly teams that include a presence in much more football-crazed parts of the country, is the better setup. Doesn't hurt that the basketball is dramatically better too.
