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 2 Arizona schools and Utah are gone

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.

After the divorce from the G5 programs, it will then be the time to throw out the low hanging fruit (trash), like Vandy, Missouri, Indiana, Rutgers, etc. Never will be enough.

Okay on Cal, I just didn’t know that Utah, and Arizona schools were also gone. Then that’s not enough to maintain the conference. I’m not sure the tv deal will work if you bring in multiple G5 teams. Pull plug.

Saw an article saying Cal has the highest athletic debt in the country at one time. Didn't verify it anywhere else.

Hearing Oregon State and San Diego State have had very preliminary talks with the Big 12 over the last 48 hours. Key word is preliminary and it would be at discounted rates.

The BIG 12 is going for California. They are gonna use these 2 as lure for Stanford and Cal.

I think it's the proper move for everyone involved.
