Apparently the 1st vote yesterday was 7-5 in favor of starting early, with UCLA, UW, Stanford, Cal & Colorado dissenting. Colorado makes sense, given recent Boulder County rule about 18-22-year-olds gathering, and Stanford can afford to miss a year. But surprised by the others.
When that happened, Utah threatened to leave the P12 for the B12, and USC threatened to go independent for a year (or two). That brought everyone back in line & they voted unanimously.
Utah & Colorado have been very upset with the P12 lately, and UA & ASU have been for a while. Might we see chaos eventually and some shifts? If those 4 start to move, the doors (to both conferences) may be ajar.
I do think kudo's need to be given to the MWC - they voted after the P12 yet decided to play 2 weeks prior. The P12 is really a sh#@ sh#@ right now.

If Utah were to go to the B12 I'd imagine they'd need a travel buddy. That could bite us in the butt if Boise was to be picked to go with them. Since Colorado came from the Big12 it wouldn't make sense for them to go back... or would they? Gotta love college football realignment! |

As i've mentioned before, in confusion there is profit...for someone.
The huge debt load accumulated by the bottom of the P5, secured by future TV revenue, will be the next issue.
It's all good for SDSU!

We stay where we are, or get get a chance (slim) of moving up. |

ASU, U of A, CU and Utah to the Big 12 would be perfect for SDSU.

So the Fearful Five were set in their position, until they realized it would cost them money, and then it was a unanimous vote. Another example of society choosing to accept a minor risk in order to move forward with life. |

I don't think we get in if UCLA and USC remain in the PAC-12. I don't think USC or UCLA would ever go to the B12, but UA & ASU could, and that could play in a couple ways. That would bring the B12 closer to us, making them more likely to expand into USC & UCLA's markets by adding us. We might be able to play the P12 & B12 against each other in that scenario. All are longshots, and there are definitely other hurdles to cross (i.e. academically in the P12, distance in the B12, etc.). But any discord at least might make the leash a little shorter down the road. |

I have no problem with us joining the B12. I'm not completely sure, but sometimes I find myself preferring that to the P12. Wouldn't turn either one down. |

Utah, Colorado, ASU and Arizona all have issues with the way the California, Oregon and UW schools treat them.
Especially, Utah and Colorado. UofU would go to the B12 in a heartbeat.

I have heard things like this in the past. Are you aware of any specific examples of poor treatment by these schools/administrators? |

The thing is, we've been hearing this kind of talk for a few years now, and nothing has happened. The Big 12 would take any of those schools without a second thought. If UofA, ASU, CU or UU really want to leave, they could have done so. They've chose to put up with the weirdness to remain with the Pac-12. One explanation: the Pac-12 is far stronger academically, and that matters to college presidents.
