This update says San Diego is likely in the path for "catastrophic" rainfall totals. If you haven't picked up your sandbags yet, now is the time to do it and protect your property. Most cities provide them for free... www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjZzu8YAq-I |

But don't forget the alimony they're getting from UCLA, which is only increasing by the week. If Cal were to leave the Pac for another conference like the ACC, it could impact the whole Calimony thing. That was based on UCLA leaving Cal behind in the Pac. If Cal also leaves the Pac behind, regardless of how it is affected financially, the whole perspective could change and maybe they get nothing. Although it was UCLA and U$C leaving that set it all in motion. I can definitely see UCLA trying to reset this if Cal leaves the Pac. Don't think that's true at all. It's about the impact on Cal, overall, by UCLA leaving. If Cal stays in a new P12 rather than go to the ACC they'll take an even bigger financial hit, which is not what the UC BOR wants. In either scenario it's about what the P12 could have had with UCLA, estimated at $40M+, and what they end up getting. They'll get a larger alimony if they stay, but no guarantees. But either way they were harmed by UCLA leaving and would expect the UC BOR to mitigate the difference no matter what they do. |

So could OSU and WSU try to set up a PAC Conference and still get some of the money that the other PAC schools left behind
add some of the MW schools and maybe some of the schools from Texas UTSA ...

So let Stankford and Cal go to the ACC. The travel and related BS will drain them. Good luck!

Their highly recruited athletes have to be pissed about what's hsppening so they'll probably bail. If they do value the quality of education more then sports then they may forget about playing sports altogether. It's going to be a tough call for them. |

We'll take their swimmers and divers. Uh, soccer players too.

Well our best bet is if the PAC-4 expands!

I don't really get this play by Stanford. They're going to take no media distribution, spend a sh*t ton to fly kids across the country, and lock themselves in a GOR for a decade? Their football and basketball teams will be worse off than when they were in the PAC 12. A decade from now Stanford will be even less desirable to the B10. Seems like a long term disaster. I get they don't want to hang out with Boise and Fresno but hold your nose for a few years, win some games, and take a shot at the B10 down the road. Stanford is a strange bird in that their Olympic sports are their bread and butter, more so than football or hoops. They send more to the Olympics than anyone, and have the deepest athletic program in the entire country. I think they're worried about the impact of not playing participating in a major conference on those Olympic sports, and they have the money to make it happen. From the ACC's perspective, although adding CalFurd would only put about $2M-ish into each team's coffers, it's more than nothing. Plus, it's the academic associations, and a chance to raise their Olympic sports, all while giving ESPN+ a major boost with a few west coast windows. As many of said, it sounds like it's 50-50. Hopefully we know by EOD. The travel will kill a lot of those Olympic sports, however. I think you will see some of those athletes opting for UCI, UCSD and UCSB rather than Stanford because of the travel. |

For sure, most of the college athletes are playing for the academic scholarship, knowing a professional career is not an option or very unlikely. I also wonder how impactful this will be for the non-football coaching staff, since they may prefer a school with travel that's less disruptive for themselves and their family. |

The only coaches who like these coast-to-coast conferences are the FB coaches. And I don't think they really like it that much. |

That's a really good point to make the conference attractive for the next round of expansion/contraction.

Dont see how its possible to take only 6 MWC schools. That would mean each 6 would have to pay an exit fee which they cant afford, plus that would only leave a Pac-8 which is not a secure number these days. Need to go the route of 9, dissolving the MWC. That leaves a Pac-11, still plenty of room for expansion in 5 years.
