USC and UCLA plan to leave P12 as soon as 2024

I guess geography has no bearing on conferences anymore. This would basically dismantle the Pac 12. I can't see Oregon sticking around without the LA schools if this goes down. If Oregon goes I would think UW would have to as well. Hard for me to Imagine UW playing in the Big 12 or the ACC but it could happen. I really think there needs to be some overarching control from the NCAA of these alignments.

What if Oregon and UW went to the SEC? Is that a possibility?

Anything is possible but that would be crazy. Wow, 3 posts in three years. It is going to take you a while to catch me.

My guess is most of the Pac would end up in the Big 12. This sucks, but is probably inevitable. It will be funny to watch UCLA struggle to finish in the middle of the Conference. I am not even sure they will finish at .500 in football in the Big 10. Does anyone think this will help USC or UCLA recruit? Wouldn't it seem more likely that Cali kids go to a Mid West school because of this, than a Mid West kid going West because of it?

I don't get the draw for them, but CERTAINLY not UCLA. UCLA hasn't been relevant in football since what, Troy Aikman? And they are going to compete against Ohio State, Michigan and Michigan State, plus a USC team that has beaten them like a drum for about two decades?

I think some sort of Pac 12 Big 12 mashup might be the most likely. Although the big 12 already has expansion plans which might complicate things.
How about this for a 16 team conference

Eastern Division
Kansas
Tex
Baylor
TCU
Oaklahoma
Colorado
Utah
BYU

Western Division
Washington
WSU
Toilet Seats
Oregon State
Cal
Stanford
Arizona
Arizona State

What are the odds that we are doing MLB and NCAA alignment proposals on the same day. lol

Looks great btw.

Very sad day. This is ultimately the result of the damage wrought by Larry Scott. College football is now dead to me.

Someone stick a stake in the heart of the Pac-12 Network. It's time to admit that was a disaster and do something different.
