Weird…why isn’t SMU on that list of possible G5s?

The PAC-12 is a perfect example of the fact that P5 and G5 designations are going away.  The PAC-12 is not a power conference anymore.

It's official. I'm already on their board bringing in the welcoming committee with other Big 12 trolls.

It's looking like an almost sure thing. I say "almost" because you never know with these things until an official announcement is made. But with this many sources reporting it there is too much smoke for there not to be a fire.

Could this be the opening SMU is hoping for? 

I've been commenting on the rumblings that have been happening. An smu poster on here say said it was just the rumor mill. But yeah, there will be plenty of openings poor ole little smu. Colorado is just the next domino. There are 5 others.

This will only cause more delay and uncertainty in the media deal.
 

If CU is jumping because of uncertainty, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Arizona State, and Utah do the same soon.

This has to be one of two things:

1. PAC media deal is a disaster.  Most likely, but where are the others bailing?

2. CU wants the stability of the B12 vs poachable PAC.  Why now?  But could explain why one moving first.

Either way likelihood of others joining is high. Colorado doesn't add much to the B12 by itself, I don't know why they would want them if not to get others too.

Oregon, Oregon State, and Arizona are also reported to have emergency meetings tomorrow as well.

At this exact moment with only CU departing? Yes. 
 

If/When a handful of the more prominent programs in the conference leave? Not so sure. 

We'll see what that looks like. Could still be better...... Could be MWC plus Stanford and Cal.  Who knows. At least we'll finally get a resolution

Oregon seems to have been debunked as already having been scheduled with a normal agenda. Don't know about other two.

Honestly I would think any competent board would meet to at least discuss

Please read the last sentence. If C.U. gives notice now to leave at the end of 2023/24 football season they pay NO exit fee.

USC/UCLA also didn't pay exit fees. With no new media deal signed any team is free to go in 2024 as long as they don't sign the new deal.

I think Colorado's record over the past decade proves that NAMES, not athletic accomplishments, determine who the media powers are interested in.  And that's what drives conference invites.

Yes, CU is marginal in winning but checks several boxes for the Big12….
-CU fits geographically, brings another market in Denver, is an established P5 brand, brings the Deion media-circus, and most important it wounds a rival P5 conference.

      Not thrilled about playing State

      Having lived there for five years, this is 100% true.

      Breaking: North Texas lands Miami QB Transfer (Free)

      🤦🏽‍♂️”all the excitement is unwarranted” is not a complaint it is just rational observation. Complaining would be saying “he is going to suck why didn’t we get somebody better” that is a complaint. Fixing the defense is the priority bad QB play RARELY factored in the losses we had. Nice to have somebody apparently talented based on his FCS performance to take Chandler’s place. But expecting him to be program lifter beyond reasonable optimism. If they can’t vastly improve the defense and win a little more almost everyone on this board will going griping again come December.

      In a city of 4 million people, I'd sure hope you'd have at least double the attendance of little ol' San Marcos. The only reason ya'll ever sniffed a 5 star recruit is because E.O. was a momma's boy that didn't want to leave home (like most UH students actually). Nobody was talking smack, UH fans are just low class losers and overall poor sports. The only reason you're in the BIG 12 is your daddy Tillman paid for it. Nobody cares about UH in Houston, it's all about UT, A&M and LSU.

      Idiot president-elect proposes Canada as 51st state

      Once again Republicans create their own little economic dystopia for some reason because your retirement accounts have never been higher, unemployment has never been lower, and inflation lagged behind the rest of the world. Yeah the world's biggest welfare queen turning twitter into a cesspool of nazis, bots and crypto scammers. Throttling the political opposition and using illegal lotteries to try and buy votes. Suing companies because they dare choose not to advertise next to usernames like killk**es1488. Every time he makes another boneheaded announcement like allowing people to still see blocked tweets, or arbitration that has to be settled by a judge he's donated money to, threads/bluesky/mastadon get a bump in new users. The world's richest man's threats to shut down the government over the spending bill just got $190 million stripped away from childhood cancer research. Enjoy what's left of the federal government being sold off to billionaires with their added profit taxes because god forbid something not make money.

      Build the rivalry between North Texas (Good Guys) and Texas State (Someone needs to be the bad guys 🤣), and everyone can agree that we wish UTSA nothing but bad luck
