This is the moment the B1G was waiting for. They now can get UO/UW/Cal/Stanford for a below market deal. Probably very close to the money those schools would have got with whatever the PAC # was.
ACC can't go anywhere no one has the money for the buyout so where does the B10 look? Clearly CU (the worst athletic department of the entire PAC12) is worth a full share to the B12. Therefore, we can obviously assume Cal, Stanford, UW, UO are all probably worth more. The B1G wants a western wing for obvious reasons but wants to exact as much leverage and pressure as possible on those four schools. They now can go and offer those schools 31.7 Million (the share value of CU to the B12) to each of those schools and see if they bite. Will those schools turn around to ACC/B12 and see if they can get a little more? How high would the B1G go to complete its western wing. At worst, for Cal, they end up in the B12 on a 31.7 million dollar deal which was probably close to what they were going to get in a potential PAC deal.
If they are adding schools like CU, BYU and Houston then they are certainly not going to be shy to Cal lmfao. Cal would be an ADDITIVE to their conference. Oregon/UW would be an even bigger one.
Again, it’s not that simple. I doubt b12 will get beyond 16 teams, so speculatively there are 3 spots left (maybe just one in the short term). There are the two Arizona schools, plus uo and uw, and even Stanford would likely get the nod before cal.
Our new conference either in 2024 or 2029: Oregon St, Wash St, Cal, Stanford, Boise St, Tulane, SMU, San Diego St, Colorado St. and UNLV, with usually 1 berth in the playoff and maybe $12 million a year in media rights.
None of this is earth-shattering, but it basically puts forth the idea that there's a needle pushing in on the Pac-12's balloon.
The Pac-12 has been dead man walking since June 30, 2022.

Ha! As if B1G is really planning to invite Stanford and Cal. UO/UW maybe, as well as whoever they might from the ACC.

Not that simple. B12 has leverage and cal likely isn’t b12’s priority. Colorado made the smart first movers advantage
