[QUOTE="Panthergrowl13, post: 131760203, member: 1426077"] The fate of the Big 12 rests with the Pac-12 decision on expanding their Conference. If the Pac decides to expand with Oklahoma State, Kansas or Kansas State, Texas Tech and Iowa State, they will move into 4 additional states and better time zones for broadcasting. The Pac 12 TV contract is set to expire in 2024 so they will have to make a decision soon on whether they move with 2 or 4 teams or not at all. Remember the Pac-12 commissioner has said he has been contacted by a number of Big 12 teams about membership. The Pac-12 best chance for expansion is now. Kansas would fit the profile of the B1G with their listing as a AAU Research University. WVU best hope is the ACC. Not sure how this is going to all play out but most Big 12 schools would jump at the chance to go to a more stable conference. I think we will ultimately have 4 Power Conferences (16 teams each). Notre Dame at some point may have to decide where they would want to go (contractually (2035 )required to join the ACC if they decide to join a conference in the near term). Could bring in WVU with ND. Oliver being retained by the Big 12 is good but only if no other Big 12 teams leave the conference. HAIL TO PITT!!!! [/QUOTE]
