I know this is an unpopular opinion, but the Pac is still a far superior conference to the Big 12. The Big 12 just happens to be the flavor of the month because they surprisingly survived when everyone thought they were dead. To me, a power conference should dominate its region. The entire Big 12, other than in Kansas, is nothing but 2nd or 3rd tier programs within each state who don’t dominate any media market. The Pac at least still has flagship programs like Washington, Oregon, Cal, Arizona, Utah, and Colorado. It makes more sense for those programs to absorb a few Big 12 schools. The Big 12 has no backbone programs to hold it together long term. Its just a mid major conference with a power 5 name.

Pac has no future because nobody cares out west, even tho they always try to make it a excuse about attendance at USC UCLA games because its hot in Los Angeles lol but those photos dont lie ppl dont care
it doesnt matter how big the market is if they dont care you could put a NFL team in Berlin nobody gives a shite nobody gives a shite abt football outside america .
now I not saying the b12 is a power conference but at least ppl in Nebraska and Missouri are Interested in college sports esp. football

I agree with you on paper. But the TV deals are running the show. Big12 has found a way to land that money. PAC has not.

The SEC and Big 10 work together to break away from the NCAA. Next they get 6 teams from the ACC to pledge to join plus ND to destabilize the ACC and offer ESPN first broadcast rights to compensate.
Now the Big/SEC controls 95% of the major broadcast market killing revenues for everyone else while raking in about 400 Million per member school. (ND covers the Chicago market)
NIL money is equal among member schools as now national brands like Lexus, MB and Apple sign on and the money gets ridiculous. FB and BB is assigned 1 million per scholarship player all other sports $200k to $500k.
IMHO

I agree. The Big 12 has only 2 teams that are the most popular in their state, WVU and Kansas. That is not something to hang your hat on.
