Assuming PAC-12, now 10, holds together, here are four scenarios which presumes the PAC-12 gains a new media deal comparable to BigXII:

1. Add only two (2) universities at this time: SDSU and SMU
- Probability 50+%
2. Add four (4) schools with a focus on Pacific Time (PT) markets: SDSU, SMU, UNLV, and Fresno State
- Probability 20%
3. Add four (4) schools with a focus on two (2) in PT and two (2) in CT: SDSU, SMU, Tulane, and FSU or UNLV
- Probability 20%
4. Add four (4) schools with three (3) in CT and one (1) in PT: SDSU, SMU, Tulane, and Rice
- Probability 10%

I don’t at all want to undermine what you’re saying or your well-thought-out process, but my understanding is that there exists a 95% chance that SMU and SDSU get invited to the PAC-12. Will that involve other schools as well? Probably not.

By the way, I haven’t been following here for a few days. Did everyone see that it was proven that the B12 has been paying a consulting firm named Endeavor to pump out propaganda? Being awfully careful of your sources is still apropos.

My Youtube feed is replete with vloggers from places like Kansas State, WVU and Baylor who gleefully either repeat or make up rumors about the PAC 10 imploding on a daily basis. I almost never watch these clowns but the headlines on their posts are clearly clickbait for many. I don't know if the PAC 12 has totally botched its media deal or if it will fall apart over the next few weeks. But neither do these propogandists.

Utah likes the PAC. The affiliation has benefitted the school off the field.
BYU is their rival. Likely Utah eclipses BYU in the US news rankings within
the next 5 or 10 years.

The Athletic:

PAC-12 has ‘solidarity’ between remaining members, Utah President Taylor Randall says

https://theathletic.com/4330214/2023/03 ... ed_article

University of Utah president Taylor Randall spoke to ESPN 700 radio in Salt Lake City on Monday about the future of the Pac-12 and its media deal. Here’s what you need to know:

- Randall said there is “solidarity” between presidents in the conference.
- He added, “We’ve still got a ways to go” on the media deal but said he is encouraged by what he’s heard from commissioner George Kliavkoff’s office.
- Randall is the third “four corners” school president to speak out and express solidarity with the league recently, joining Arizona’s and Arizona State’s presidents last week.
