Dodd from CBS Sports

It appears to me after reading Dennis Dodd’s article that the current expansion by the PAC wasn’t thought out and more of a knee jerk reaction or desperation by the PAC 2.

This quote was insightful:

“Industry sources weren't sure which way forward the Pac-12 would take. They were sure almost unanimously that the new Pac-12 won't get much more than the current Mountain West deal, which is $45 million per year from current rights holders Fox and CBS. (TNT has a smaller deal for a handful of lower-echelon games.)”

What's next for Pac-12? More expansion options, TV deal on check list for re-imagined conference

Plus, how will the Pac-12's raid of the Mountain West affect conference realignment throughout the landscape?

This goes to my point in the other threads... spite by a few of these programs and ambition of the Pac 12 commissioner to make a name for herself

I agree. Also, when the dust settle the PAC will still be a G5 conference. In trying to attract a national audience of college football fans in the Midwest or Southeast, they will see little difference in the schools whether Utah State or Washington State and just group them as a G5 conference out west.
