There's still a ton of time for us to face-plant on this.

Yes - As of an hour ago the Big 12 has formally approved Arizona’s application to join.
Ok yes…so when will we know what the BoR has to say?
Not that I want ASU to tag along, but what more could George possibly say to salvage this? This shit Apple deal expires tomorrow, everyone hates it, and even if he managed to throw in a few slots on real TV, it's nothing compared to what the Big 12 will give them, and even more of a joke to try and keep Oregon and Washington from moving to the Big 10. Is some guilt trip of what will happen to the four schools with nowhere to go supposed to be enough to convince Crow to stay?
I don’t know that anyone has any more clarity than that. You nailed it. We are gone and ASSU is looking to stay. They’re idiots rejecting a life preserver because they want to see if a luxury yacht stops by.
We already sent our big 12 application in and it's been accepted by the big 12, the ABOR likely approved the move during their meeting but will probably be made official tomorrow
Ok, now I don’t feel so bad about my frustrated confusion - sounds like the BoR meeting was a shitshow:CardiacCats97 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 03, 2023 8:57 pmI don’t know that anyone has any more clarity than that.

They’ll never recover.CatsbyAZ wrote: ↑Thu Aug 03, 2023 8:51 pm So in the replies of that Karpman tweet above, sounds like the sentiment in the BoR meeting is that Arizona is going and ASU is planning to stay? For now? Are the votes in? Can someone, anyone, with more clarity into what’s going on catch us up?
Edit: Wow, ASU fans not happy with Crow at the moment. To quote one of the replies re: Crow: “Will set ASU athletics back decades because he wants power and control that the Pac affords him.”
Apparently crow made a comment that arizona was moving to fast and tried to hold us back.CatsbyAZ wrote: ↑Thu Aug 03, 2023 9:07 pmOk, now I don’t feel so bad about my frustrated confusion - sounds like the BoR meeting was a shitshow:CardiacCats97 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 03, 2023 8:57 pmI don’t know that anyone has any more clarity than that.

Also, won't there be those few good players, regional guys who used to get snagged by WSU and OSU and ASSU who wanna stay out here but don't want to play in the MWC? Won't they visit this campus more now?
I fucking hate it but until the rules change they will be in good position for it.

Until the rules are changed the top 6 conference winners get automatic bids. The Mountain West PAC12 merger winner will be a top 6 conference winner every year.

2. The CFP expansion is only for 2024 and 2025 so far, they have very clearly stated it can and will change if needed. It wasn't even supposed to kick in until 2026 except they made a last second change. Nothing stopping them from changing it back due to conference realignments.
The ACC ain’t dying for at least 12 years manFishclamps wrote: ↑Thu Aug 03, 2023 11:07 pm It's like talking to a brick wall.
Once football is consolidated to 3 power conferences or less, which will happen with the death of the ACC and the Pac, they will not give a shit about all the lesser conferences and exclude them.
Hell, the Big 12 will probably die off sooner rather than later if it can't improve its position in football.
But the Pac is done. It's over. Dead.
Espn can demand up to 500 Million a school as a buyout or take every penny they make on tv rights until their GOR ends.Fishclamps wrote: ↑Thu Aug 03, 2023 11:14 pm Oh yeah for sure man, schools openly talking about bailing from the ACC over revenue issues is the sign that a conference is on the right track.
