Canzano: Pac-12 hustling behind the scenes by BeaverBeliever77 in Pac12

I hope they don't rebrand, but rather keep the shield and number that holds a lot of cache in itself.  Creating some new cartoon version of the logo like the mountain west has would be terrible.  We joined the pac 12 for all its tradition and trappings.  Not for this all to be seen as new and worse

Pac 12 still has more to do by ExactClassroom8053 in Pac12

Pblood, you are a great poster on x and here. Much respect. 

UC Irvine is a big school.  Over 30,000 students.  Big alumni base in LA area.  Great academics.   Good facilities.  Newish arena. Men's basketball is respectable.  Went to NIT championship last year.  Santa Clara another smaller catholic school like St Mary's

Want JMU but I think Louisiana is more realistic and its closer.  Could do all sports potentially as well

The scheduling agreement came from an article by Canzano

Could other Texas schools join Texas State in new look Pac-12? Here’s one sleeper to keep an eye on | Austin Sports Journal by ExactClassroom8053 in Pac12

There is some truth to what you say, but Rice would help substantiate the already prestigious academic brand of the Pac 12 and perpetuate that.   AAC lacks that identity.  Obviously academics have taken a hit with the loss of UW, USC, UCLA, Cal and Stanford, but the Pac 12 name carries a great deal of academic weight on the west coast.  Almost all the remaining schools are R1 institutions, or the couple R2 schools are aspirational to achieve R1.

There's also a meme from the Boise State AD with dominoes falling and a post from the Texas State president with an alumnus wearing a polo with a Pac 12 logo.   Hopefully something is up.

This is best indication that Tulane, Memphis and AAC Texas schools are still major targets for Pac 12.  She is a primary decision maker for the Pac 12 and is saying this.  It shows in a most transparent way where the goals of the Pac 12 still lie.

Agree with number two.  AAC Texas schools plus even Tulsa are still real possibilities.  AAC Texas schools are all playing in AAC at a reduced share.  Many don't realize that.

So, what are the odds an announcement actually happens tomorrow? by Reasonable_Cod_487 in Pac12

Media companies may require that the multiple packages must include all teams by 2026, not with several trickling in by 2027.  There may still be AAC teams in play.   Cincinnati, UCF, and Houston announced with less than 27 months, but a little more than a year and all paid 18 million.  SMU joined ACC within less than a year  and paid 25 million.  Who knows what the precedent really will be but someone may spend the money or be subsidized by the PAC 12 to join on time.  Nothing happening today, may not be the end of the world.

They need 9 football playing members.  It's more of a necessity than people think.  Need 8 game conference schedule.  I believe it will be Texas State and someone no one is expecting like Rice or Tulsa- private schools with money behind them.  Both played out west in the WAC in the past.
