So the reports were all that Colorado's Board of Regents was voting today right? Does anyone know if that's actually happened yet? What if the Pac 12 actually did give them TV numbers and they're voting to approve locking it in? That would be hilarious to me

5PM ET. Will be live streamed. Absolutely no sources are saying anything possible about tv numbers ready to be approved. Would be a funny twist but not remotely possible because you'd have all the PAC 12 schools holding board meetings, not just Colorado.

If you recall, the PAC 12 had their chance to expand years ago but opted to stay the status quo and basically gave the chance for big 12 to survive. They have no one to blame but themselves. So now I’m going to say the power 4 will be SEC BigTen ACC big 12 

The PAC had 2 chances even. 10+ years ago when they were poised to take 6 big 12 teams and then 2 years ago when OU and UT announced they were leaving. If they had offered any remaining big 12 team back then, they accept in a heartbeat. But we've been talking about the past year after they lost the LA schools and you still thought they were above the Big 12 lol 

 

Not taking any Big 12 schools when they had their chance was the first strike but it wouldn't become obvious until they kept fumbling tv negotiations. They got to the table before the Big 12 and proclaimed how that gives them an advantage. Then when the Big 12 got a deal done, they now claimed that being last was better. It's the Big East collapse redux.

Nebraska and Colorado should both go back to the b12. Neither is going to win in the pac12 or b1g.

Living out here in Pac12 country, there's a belief within that cabal that they are the greatest.  Well, there was a belief.  They look down their noses at schools outside of California first, then outside of the existing membership.  Their fans never really seemed to welcome Colorado and Utah, considering them an add-on made necessary by conference size.  The slide will be enjoyable.

Oh, by no means do I think it's possible. I just thought it would be a hilarious plot twist

How could landing Colorado impact Big 12 expansion plans? Don't sleep on UConn

Step one in Big 12 expansion is adding Colorado. Though a Pac-12 school could be targeted next, Brett Yormark also likes the idea of UConn.

So CU is Pitt in this scenario. Those who don’t learn history or something like that.

It looks like Cali has become the whine country.  And while I find some of this PAC-12 angst amusing, I think college football needs for there to be a solid base in the west.  Still I wouldn't shed too many tears if the Utes were somehow left twisting in the wind.
