Very interesting article. Maybe simmer down a little the perennial Aresco bashers. He's at least trying to make chicken salad out of chicken **** ........ and I never knew the official designation of the P5 was the A5 (Autonomy 5).

Remaining Big 12 programs lacking options? Pac-12 reportedly not eager to poach what’s left of the league

---

The Big 12 may not have as many options as some fans think.

The Pac12 doesn’t want the B12 leftovers, according to a couple reports out of their media day. Cuse and possibly the Hokies are lobbying for WV to the ACC, per the rumor mill. I though Pitt might want WV in the ACC too, but haven’t seen them mentioned. 
 

The B10 has been checking options too. I’ve seen they could try to pick off Colorado as part of their move to pick “select” B12 castaways as they expand their footprint. If they make that move it could spur some real crazy movement.

Colorado State to the AAC came up in a couple scenarios. It seems like unless the B10 moves hard into the southern Midwest the Texas schools to the AAC seems like a good bet. 
 

Conversely, I have seen a couple articles advocating for the reconstitution of the B12 following the Sun Belt model. Their footprint would change and who they add is amorphous at this time. Seems like UH, Memphis and ucf are are at the top of that list. Nothing about them looking west to BYU or CSU or any of those others schools. 
 

interesting times. The NCAA meeting will be interesting. It seems like either Fox or CBS might be trying to undermine the playoff, but I think it’s ESPN trying fake everyone out. Lots going on to warm us up for the season

If the ACC pulls Penn State away from the B10 and takes WV I wonder what that would trigger? The ACC is also possibly interested in WV and Cincy. I think Penn State would be their best option. Thrasher of FSU made a statement that the ACC needs to make sure they don’t get left behind, so I’m sure they will need to be aggressive too

I imagine most every commissioner is trying to do what is best for their conference. It was an interesting article for sure. Hearing that the AAC has to petition the A5 conferences (were they deemed that or did they just decide we are the five?) to get included in the CFPs.

Talk about an article out of date. So much has happened since this article was written I was waiting for him to say “man has landed on the moon.”
