They'll suffer the same fate competitiveness-wise as Texas will in the SEC.

USC might be able to hold there own....I dont think they are significantly far away from Michigan, Penn State, Michigan State.....

obviously Buckeyes are still king.

RIP PAC12

RIP lots of conferences, looks like we're heading to 3-4 mega conferences. Big Ten, SEC, ACC, and that's about it

Maybe in 10-20 years they will just scrap conferences and put the biggest 20 teams in one pool and just have that be Division I. Then the rest of the schools can go back to being amateur competitions, and some can drop football entirely. Maybe a relegation type scheme as well so the big Div I list can change over time.

Meh

Would this be football only? AFAIK, no other B1G teams have surfing or water polo teams

I suppose Hockey could be described as 'Ice polo'.

Relegation could be interesting. Also, introduce an NIT type championship for the non-top 30 (or whatever) teams.

We definitely could use another division/level. There's about 40 teams could be in the top tier, then about 70 or so in the next level, then the FCS/D-1-A teams. There are pronounced differences in each one of those groupings. Sure, there are exceptional teams from the lower divisions that can beat the big dogs on occasion, but overall we know there are only about 20-30 teams each year with a lujjit shot at a title.

Go ahead and put those big dos in their own league with an expanded playoff, and the second tier guys can still be the ones that go to the old bowl games

The new Big 12 might be over before it starts if BYU and some of the other Big 12 teams start thinking of joining the PAC-12 instead.

One of them is not going to survive this.

It will be funny to see Cal-Berkely having to possibly extend an invite to the Baylor Bears.

Well we might as well take the ducks and beavers too.

I don't think the Pac-12 has the leverage. Big 12 might get some poaching done. Pac-12 is just dead, imo.
