PAC deal was not good enough and they did not end up signing any of the deals presented. I would expect Arizona to pull the trigger in the next 2 weeks.

Bout time!

PAC deal not expected to be good. I would be shocked if they end up signing this deal. Money is well below the Big 12 and it's mostly streaming. Arizona to the Big 12 is expected. Oregon and Washington in deep conversations with the Big Ten.

I'll try to update if I hear anything about the PAC deal. My PAC sources have proven to be unreliable over the last year so I stopped relaying their information but who knows.

A deal will be presented tomorrow. Will it be good enough to keep the band together? I'm skeptical. But a deal will be presented. I agree that Arizona is headed to the Big 12 within the next 2 weeks unless GK pulls this off.

It's going to be really tough for the PAC to remain a conference unless something changes for the better quickly. MWC buyouts have gone up to 30M so they won't even be able to add teams easily. If they lose 3-5 members (which I think is very likely), they could going the way of the Big East. As...

The PAC 12's last stand is going to be riding on what GK can present the presidents tomorrow. Nobody I talk to seems optimistic that he's going to be able to pull it off.

I saw the rumor. I don't know about their timeline but moves are being made behind the scene. East coast and West coast

August could be insane! Buckle up...

ACC - Florida State over Clemson Big Ten - Michigan over Iowa Big 12 - Oklahoma (Big bounce back) over Texas PAC 12 - USC over Oregon SEC - Georgia over Alabama

Arizona expected to announce their move to the Big 12 in the next 2 weeks. There would have to be a major reversal at this point

Correct. Based on previous conversations I have had, Washington would almost certainly be their partner. It makes sense from many perspectives. Washington fits the Big Ten profile better than Oregon and would be a natural rival/travel partner to Oregon. But my source says that FOX is pushing the...

Can confirm that FOX is pushing for Oregon to join the Big Ten for 2024. Not sure if the university presidents will budge.

There are multiple reports saying that the Big 12 only wants to go to 14. My sources continue to say that the Big 12 would take Arizona, Oregon and Washington at this time. The remains the Big 12's goal. They believe getting Arizona will force Oregon and Washington to make a move.

It will be interesting to see how the posturing changes now that Colorado left. Arizona and Colorado were the only ones with serious Big 12 conversations before the move but Colorado leaving changes that dynamic. I would expect that the school's positions have changed drastically over the last 2...

Agreed. I hate this for college sports. It's almost a disincentive to have two teams from one state in your conference. Those are typical the games I like the most

Arizona, while they have value for the Big 12, is replaceable. The Big 12 could go ahead and add Utah or ASU and it wouldn't make a huge difference. BY also knows that adding Arizona puts the heat on Oregon and Washington to make a move. If the Big Ten doesn't act (and they may not from what I...

I still believe Arizona is the next school to move. UO and UW are going to try to hold out as long as they possibly can, hoping to get an answer from the Big Ten.

There's also some Florida State smoke

I don't think the media partners have any interest in a full merger. If they did, they would have just paid the PAC. It looks like the PAC is about to get looted for it's valuable parts and the rest is going to be left behind.
