If true, it's good for Washington and Oregon and it's curtains for the Pac 12. Interesting to see who the Big 12 wants to pick up from the remainder.

I'm very curious about Stanford. I think the Big 10 wants to use Stanford to pair with ND if they can bring ND in (they're the last remaining team of note not in the SEC or Big 10). ND plays Stanford every year and it would be a very reasonable pairing both to appease them and add another west coast team for that part of the Big 10.

But if ND isn't ready to go to the Big 10... what does Stanford do in the meantime? Join the Big 12 and deal with potentially leaving that conference later? Go independent (they can afford it)? No idea how that might play out.

ND is the only remaining tier one media team left.

UNC is probably tier 2 along with Clemson and FSU, but they are locked in with the GOR for the next decade.

I’m not sure Stanford or the rest of the Pac12 leftovers are even tier 3.

Whoever gets ND will have major leverage with the networks during the next renegotiation.

Presumably UA/ASU/UU will go Big 12.

Stanford and Cal being relegated to the Mountain West would be funny.

AZ has already applied for B12 membership and, from what I hear, ASU and Utah are in the first stages of requesting membership
