It's being speculated the Pac-12 will seek to regain “autonomy” status...

I will see it when I believe it, but it's being speculated the Pac-12 will look to regain autonomous status. It might be a marketing ploy, but the idea of gaining "power 5 status" - maybe in name only - certainly does elevate the league in perception.

The NCAA Board apparently votes to make this happen. Given the Pac-12 was autonomous, and has the infrastructure and rules in place, I see this as a likely scenario personally.

THat's only going to happen if the P4 schools allow it to happen. And they won't.

With a 28 team bracket, will it matter?

It's the NCAA Board of Directors vote, not the P4.

I suspect if the conference goes in this direction, it's a "marketing ploy" not that it gives them much in terms of additional money in the CFP.

We need Boise to make some noise this year.

If they don’t seek it, they wouldn’t be doing their job. Of course they will, and ESPN and media will do everything to discredit us. I believe some of the lawsuit stuff people were referring to against ESPN has more to do with this Autonomy stuff than any of the earlier conference realignment-Big12 stuff. It’s obvious the networks plan is to consolidate and direct money to their teams.
