Good afternoon, everyone. Breaking news from the world of college athletics, the Big Ten Conference announced today that both the University of Washington and the University of Oregon have decided to join their conference and leave the Pac-12. They would join both UCLA and USC in joining the Big Ten, and with Colorado rejoining the Big XII soon, as well as the possible exodus of both Arizona and Arizona State, the Pac-12 will have five schools remaining: Utah, Cal, Stanford, Oregon State, and Washington State.
That got me wondering, what will the Pac-12 replace all those schools with, provided they even go forward as a conference? Allow me to speculate on what may come.
There are some obvious choices. Most of the current members of the Mountain West Conference come to mind, such as Boise State, Fresno State, and San Diego State. But how about another school that desperately wants to be a Power Five school? South Florida? I mean they technically are a west coast school. I suppose there could be other schools that are dying for attention too. Like Everest ITT Tech, and Connecticut School of Broadcasting. If the Pac-12 REALLY gets desperate, they could recruit Bob Jones or Prager University. And if worst omes to worst, they could utilize Trump University. The self-proclaimed governor of Arizona can vouch for that one.
All kidding aside though, late this evening the conference may have been given a lifeline...
