such an advantage over the PAC that they’ll be able to poach PAC teams.
The loss of USC & UCLA certainly weakens the PAC but they haven’t been as relevant as OU on the national scene recently, plus the interest in college football in Southern California continues to flounder. The PAC still has six flagship universities, while the Big XII has two. I would argue that the loss of OU & Texas weakened the Big XII worse than the loss of USC & UCLA for the PAC. The only advantage that the Big XII has is their location which provides an abundance of lower caliber candidates to invite, while the PAC is very limited.
It appears that the B1G may not have the appetite for Washington, Oregon, Stanford, or Cal since they couldn’t add revenue like USC and UCLA.
The PAC could invite Boise St., SDSU, Nevada, UNLV, or maybe even turn BYU from the Big XII. The real issue is if the PAC can overcome their snobbish self regard.
College football would then have two super conferences, two lesser conferences, and one (ACC) whose status would be TBD until their exit fees expire years from now. Then the real end game would begin.
