Do not be surprised if Both Arizona schools with Utah and Colorado jump this week to the Big 12. Things are moving fast. Tuesday afternoon could be interesting.
Big 12 may expand this week

Good... This leaves four holes in the pac-12. This is a real opportunity for the rebels
Yeah but what kind of PAC is going to be left? Washington St and Oregon St? You knew the Arizona schools would rather be shot than share the same conference as UNLV or UNR but what's great is if it all boils down to one super conference we actually have a better chance of getting in. If they pick a nevada school we're the obvious choice but Arizona and ASU will be sweating bullets because a super conference won't be taking 2 AZ schools either. The more it comes down to money the more I like our chances when everything finally comes to a head and the guys running things are greedy AF.
Would be interesting to see what the remaining PAC schools do if all 4 go. Only 6 would remain and 3 (Oregon, Washington and Stanford) have had Big 10 rumors in different scenarios. That would leave 2 different directions for the PAC to go.
1-Keep the remaining 5 or 6 schools and reload with best of MWC/others. Fresno St and San Diego St would be the first 2 (I’d think). The rest would be filled with some combination of UNLV, UNR, Boise St, Air Force, Colo St and Wyoming I would think. Would depend on the number they want to settle on. If ND goes to a conference (likely), they could go for a shrewd move and attempt to get Air Force, Army and Navy in the same conference as I believe Army attempting to survive as an Independent would be difficult unless other schools join the independent ranks.
2-PAC dissolves. Bigger schools like Oregon, Washington, Stanford and possibly CAL could possibly survive as Independents for a few seasons waiting to see if they could get into Big 10. I would think it would make sense to go to the Big 12 (on both sides). In this scenario I could see Oregon St and Washington St (and slight chance of Cal) joining the MWC.

Bye-bye PAC-12. Hello PAC West Conf. — MWC plus PAC-12 leftovers.
Wonder who the other 2 are. Oregon and UW probably, but that could be a panic move on their part. Of course begging for the Big 10 scraps isn’t enviable either.
