Conference realignment: Rose Bowl officials say USC, UCLA defections to Big Ten were 'unexpected'

It makes you think that perhaps they will end their agreement with the Pac 12, 11, 10, 9, 8…

Contrary to what the media has been saying, the Pac12 seems to be in a much better position to lure Big12 teams than the reverse.

The problem is that The Big12 doesn’t really have a single brand worth it to the Pac12. But what would be in the overall best interest of the current members is to hold their nose and take the first 2 schools among OK State, KS State, KS, IA State, TX Tech, Baylor, BYU, and TCU that are willing to make to move. The rest will follow.

The champion of a 24 team “PAC 12”conference that spans from Seattle to Florida could still be a great Rose Bowl opponent for the Big Ten.

It'd make for a really bad tv contract.

I mean, Oregon and Washington are still pretty good football programs.

The only two from the PAC, including USC and UCLA, to make the CFP since it started.
