Future Conference Breakdown (What we know now)

[Bankruptcyman]

Washington State and Oregon State will be like Idaho looking for a place to play.

Assuming the ZONA schools and Utah leaves as well, the best thing they can do is go big and take the best of what is available all the way to the Mississippi. It's the only way for them to remain relevant and keep he illusion of a P5 conference.

The plot thickens...

Big 12 now looking at Cal/Stanford instead of the others.

So, we know what happens next. Arizona to the Big XII... with Arizona State and Utah to follow.

Not so fast my friend

exactly, the current haves will become the have nots and they not going to like that. when you get rid of the people "below" you, guess who is now on the bottom?

Vanderbilt's budget is $90 million.

Contribution from the SEC is about $50 million. Do the math...the Vandy budget less that SEC safety blanket is $40 million. About in our neighborhood.

When will the TSABs and Bammers and Dawgs start to complain about propping up Vandy's drive for something less than medocrity?

By the way, there is a thread on Tiger Droppings about when the P5 conference power-players start kicking out conference members.

Vanderbilt's high tuition boosts their on paper budget.

So Cal, Oregon State, Stanford and Washington state is all that’s left….

Do they keep watered down PAC 12 and call up MWC teams or do they join MWC.

I think Stanford could go independent instead of joining MWC

Now just seeing what happens in ACC…

Actually So Cal isn’t part of whatever the PAC is. If the two Arizona announce leaving the conference falls to 5. Stanford isn’t getting in a conference with Boise, and probably CAL Berkeley as well. The PAC is only waiting for someone to pull the plug.

The movement always flows upward with realignment. I think the remnants of the PAC 12 will take who they want from the Mountain West and the AAC (if they can stomach the travel costs.) I could see them adding some mix of Boise St., SDSU, Colorado St., UNLV, SMU and Memphis. That would solidify their position as the #5 conference.

The Mountain West would then look to poach C-USA. NMSU, UTEP, and maybe even La Tech.
