Supposedly a report coming out which could shake up the powers that be on the west coast. Quite the teaser, and it's sure getting the rumor mill going. I've even seen reports of it being about Peterson & his time at both Boise & UW (although that's coming from WSU fans so take it with a LOT of salt).

Who hasn't seen the PAC-12 Roomers of either Oklahoma, Oklahoma St, Texas Tech or Nebraska coming west for Football?

Will the Pac12 show WSU and OSU the door to shore up the conference?

Will the Pac12 show WSU and OSU the door to shore up the conference? Fans who think conf realignment is about athletic performance , or lack there of, are sure to put themselves in the Booby Hatch.

Who hasn't seen the PAC-12 Roomers of either Oklahoma, Oklahoma St, Texas Tech or Nebraska coming west for Football? There's two major rumors that have been going around for over a year. Rumor #1 is the PAC taking on Oklahoma State and whoever comes along with them. Nebraska is already gone the the BIG 10 so it won't be them. That leaves Oklahoma or Texas Tech. Oklahoma and OSU are going to play each other every year regardless of whether they're in the same conference or not, so I'd bet on Texas Tech being the other (if it happens). The other rumor that's been going around works the other direction with the Big XII poaching half the PAC-12 to become a 16-team super conference. That one seams much more far fetched though. I can't see USC walking away from playing all of their conference games in the same time zone and having to play away conference games in Texas and Oklahoma, or being a newcomer in a reimagined conference. This scenario would obviously play out much better for SDSU though - you'd get your wish of making it into the PAC, but it would be a much watered down PAC. Both are nothing more than rumors, but to me the PAC 12 expansion one seems much more credible.

However PAC schools going to the Big 12 is a possibility. There is also a possibility that USC leaves the PAC for independence - particularly if a 12-team playoff comes to fruition.

That's not the story he was referring to. The ASU rumors won't "rock the college football world" nor have anything to do with "ruin(ing) legacies" (ASU has none) nor impacting the "balance of power out west". The guy is an Oregon guy, so it's most likely a story related to another "power" out west, such as UW or USC. (EDIT: He's making it sound like a Reggie Bush-ish type story, but given the over hype of today's social media it'll probably be much more minor)

Waiting for the day he'll need to change his name to George Wrongster III. The internet is filled with people throwing BREAKING NEWS! teasers out there that end up with a Geraldo Riverian thump. Though maybe I'll be wrong this time? sdcoug isn't exactly known for succumbing to false prophecies.

Oklahoma and Oklahoma State actually petitioned the PAC-12 for membership back in 2011. No decision ever came out of that but the petition is still out there. At the time I know at least Colorado was opposed to it because they would essentially end up in the PAC-12 east with some of their former Big XII opponents, but I don't know what the other 11 members would think about expansion, and times have changed a bit since then and will continue to change. Bottom line is don't rule out anybody from any conference moving any direction. They will all act in their own self interests and go where the money is.

I am related to an athletic director who was involved in all of that back then. Ok and ok state were solicited by the Pac. They never sought the pac out and they never overtly petitioned the pac for membership. You’re talking out of your ass. Everything you said in your statement is bull crap. CU NEVER opposed ok or ok state into the pac because they had no voting standing at the time. You have no clue of what you are talking about.

You have no clue of what you are talking about. blog.seattlepi.com/huskies/2011/09/12/oklahoma-oklahoma-state-to-apply-to-pac-12-report-says/I realize this isn't a mainstream news source, but the same was reported in various other outlets at the time. These conference discussions quite often are behind closed doors discussions with actual news of school movement not breaking in any official news outlet until it's a done deal, so until someone comes public it's hard to say for sure what's real and what isn't. This isn't something I made up though. I totally get the value of "inside info." If you're privy to what was going on back then, good for you, I'll believe your story. I had similar inside info on the WAC bringing back football, which I reported here as a strong possibility and people told me I was full of crap, it will never happen, etc. In fact the WAC is planning on being an FBS conference sometime within the next 10 years, and I'd bet pretty decent money on it becoming a respectable mid-major conference by then in both football and basketball. People will tell me I'm full of crap on that too, but the discussions are ongoing and some of the new additions to the conference have some very big plans for their athletics programs. In all due respect, this board has a strong tendency to be very closed minded about things, and when someone comes in with a radical idea or an opposing view of any sort they get ridiculed. The landscapes of the PAC 12 and Big XII are very likely to change within the next few years. None of us know what that means yet, but I wouldn't go so far as to say that the Oklahoma schools won't defect.
