I would love to see this happen. The Big XX lacks star power, but would be one hell of a conference from top to bottom, a lot less lop sided than the B1G and SEC.
There are a lot of reasons why Big 12 would be the most sensible option. We're just a weird cultural fit. But money > culture every day of the week in our situation.
Though Spavital would love all that Texas recruiting time. (He'll be around. Ain't no one getting fired early since we can't afford to pay off contracts right now).
Cal to Big 12?

Looks like there's differences of opinion.
This guy says there's no outreach by Big 12 to add the PAC4.

That's a bit of a surprise. I wonder who leaked that there was interest.
It must have the final ravings of Kliavkoff when he finally realized the he has set a new standard for leadership incompetence.
According to a post by JoJo, scuttlebutt is that ESPN might be gaming with the leak to make ACC shit or get off the pot.
Makes sense, dirty people doing dirty things.
It's not dirty, it's just business
It's dirty business, and further evidenced by the ESPN overlords deciding what TV matchups work for the alleged playoffs.
"College" football is anything but.
Some day, amatuer collegiate athletics will be controlled by institutions of higher learning and not media executives.
And in that day, my ex will present me with all the money I had to pay in the divorce settlement.
Yeah, not really visible on the horizon, yet, is it?

I don't see any reason to cancel Spav or Bloesch, both of whom should enjoy the Big 12 environment.
Not as weird as some make it out to be. Universities of Texas, Oklahoma, certainly our cultural kin.
Agree about Texas and Oklahoma but they are leaving to the SEC. But having 8(!) ex-Pac schools would very much dilute the overall concern.
I mention Spav because his job security is tied to Wilcox. Kind of a bankshot.
I think B12 solves a ton of issues that ACC would create.
Agreed, I know Texas and Oklahoma are moving. All may be moot, since there's no intention on the part of the Big12 to engage us.
