quote:BYU, if they're available (again I haven't watched the tube this week. For all I know, they're now in the ACC). BYU has a lot of national recognition, fills in the Mountain time zone better than Utah (and honestly, Colorado). Inherent rivalry potential with Colorado, built-in with Utah.
PAC 12 commissioner Larry Scott's next move?
New Mexico, UNLV, Nevada and Hawaii. My preference anyway, but it will never happen.
Does Tulane figure to move anywhere? Last year or so, I heard potential Big 12 rumblings. NOLA isn't what it once was market-wise, but the Superdome is a media prize. Getting Texas and Oklahoma into the Dome each season would be a TV showcase, and gets the Big 12 into SEC territory (like A&M got the SEC more into Big 12 territory).

If the PAC-12 was smart, they would drop their objections to BYU, OSU, OU and add them along with 1 of the current Big12 Texas programs. They could then form an eastern POD with those teams.
Their big problem is that the Big 12 teams have supposedly sold their TV media right to the conference for 13 years. Don't know if this is really true or not.
If PAC can't get into Oklahoma and Texas, they are landlocked.

BYU won't happen (Berkeley won't let a religious school in).
Tulane is building a new, on-campus stadium.
