My best bud who live in Portland just called me to say he’s hearing on Portland radio that the Big-12 is gonna offer WSU & OSU for next year and it’s because ESPN wants it to happen. I hope something comes of this.
Yeah I’m hearing some smoke here too. Not sure if it’s legit or taking Twitter heads getting excited. I’m still hopeful.My best bud who live in Portland just called me to say he’s hearing on Portland radio that the Big-12 is gonna offer WSU & OSU for next year and it’s because ESPN wants it to happen.

@702cougYep.
The Pac has been around longer than the B12. More history. More tradition. I guess you could call the B12 the successor of the B8, but not really--just a bunch of defectors leaving to form their own new conference.
If the options are:Yep.

Big picture, us turning into a G5 will completely flip our athletics on its head. We have already seen this with coaching salary cuts etc. programs will cease to exist, people will get let go and have to move their families. The repercussions will reverberate throughout the school.If the options are:
-Stay in the P12, but it's G5, or-Join the BXII and play in the P4I'm definitely picking to play in the P4.
I don't love it either, but staying P4 before it becomes P2 should be the move.
There's basically nothing out there suggesting this, and the little bit of recent smoke all seems to connect back to the same Twitter troll who posts a ton of rumors.My best bud who live in Portland just called me to say he’s hearing on Portland radio that the Big-12 is gonna offer WSU & OSU for next year and it’s because ESPN wants it to happen.

We merge with B12 and rename it PAC-16. Essentially, they join us and inherit our tradition and history.

ThisAs much as people want to will it into existence....we are freakin' hosed. We need to extract as much money as we can right now and then deal with the future in early 2026.
I agree with 2/3 of that. The big 12 isn’t going to call, no matter how long we sit by the phone. And, we need to get the money where we can as soon as we can.Found this Seattle times article: Not gonna happen....right now
The summary of the article is: "Our advice: Ignore the scuttlebutt. “The Big 12 has no interest in them,” said an industry source familiar with commissioner Brett Yormark’s strategy."

But, we can’t wait until early 2026. If they haven’t already been talking behind the scenes, they need to start tomorrow. There needs to be a plan in place by this time next year. Maybe it can have some details left to figure until spring of 26, but the direction needs to be decided in fall 25.
Assuming that direction involves at least part of the MWC, as much as possible needs to be in place in order to have unity in media contract dealings. Otherwise we’ll end up with the same kind of last minute lowballing the PAC-12 got.
