I have been talking up that negative for a while.  But despite that disadvantage for UCF, there isn't talk of the B12 trying to ease it.  

I'm sure C. Florida is going to go to bat for us due to their travel issues.

I agree.

colorado has one winning season in last 11 years since joining the pac 12 from the big 12.

it was bottom of the barrel from pac 12

 

Exactly and if the two Arizona schools want to follow them, the pac 12 still has their best programs left Washington, Oregon, and Utah. Washington State and Oregon State have had some good seasons in the last 5 years.

Football wise, the Big 12 got a meh batch. But Arizona first the basketball culture, Colorado is a founding Big 8/12 member, Utah and ASU fit the geography. Utah is great at football, the other 3 not so much but Arizona and Colorado show positive recruiting signs. But it's more about the message in destabilizing your competition and securing your place as a P5(4?).

Brett says the BIG is getting bigger.  The Big Ten is getting even bigger with Oregon and Washington becoming the latest schools to join the conference from the Pac-12 starting in 2024, sources told Action Network.

You could make a conference work with 12 schools. 6 west 6 east. Just limit the play between the 2 divisions. 

Cal 

Stanford

Oregon State

WSU

Oregon (or whoever)

Washington (or whoever)

 

SMU

Memphis

UConn

USF

Tulane

ECU (or whoever)

 

Your Olympic teams make 1 trip west, and play 2 of the schools, they host 2 of the schools, when they make their trip east. Then everyone meets in the conference tournaments, which each rotate east and west.

edit duplicate post. 

Look for pac 12 to die or merge w mwc. 

Merge with AAC?

Not ideal.

I like that idea.

OK by me.
