The Pac-12 Thread

Utah and Colorado officially joins the Pac-12. I am excited about the inaugural season of this conference.

HUGE fan of the new alignment! Most exciting conference in football now, no matter how excited I am for Iowa v Nebraska.

Out of curiosity, what about the new alignment do people not like?

I don't know, I'm just happy CU is out of Big XII. Looks like Juron Criner will play this year for Arizona, I serious have no idea who's going to represent the South for the championship game.

If they could get Boise somehow, this would be my favorite conference.

ZERO way this happens. Academics, endowment, and facilities outside of football fall far below Pac-12 standards.

I don't believe Boise is a research institution either which has become a requirement.

There is no chance Boise St. will ever join the conference.

OREGON WINS IT ALL AND TCU COULD JOINED IF THEY WERENT JOINING BIG EAST?

I believe they are a research institution, but there's no reason for the PAC to split their money another direction with a team who plays in a 30,000 seat stadium that they don't sell out every game like they should, and who doesn't bring much of a TV market. Agreed, they'd never have any chance of being considered. PAC expansion should be done unless they can still gobble up some of the Big 12-2 teams when (not if) everyone gets tired of Texas and the conference dissolves.
