Who is most likely to join the Pac-12 in conference expansion, should the conference expand? One Pac-12 Insider's odds include 'Big 12 hunting.'
SMU was second in Canzano's odds of teams that could join the Pac-12 in conference expansion, at 4-1.
"It has a tiny campus footprint in Dallas, but the Mustangs have immense donor support and adding them would get the Pac-12 into Texas," Canzano wrote."The DFW market includes more than 2.9 million television households. That is super attractive. Several conference coaches have told me they’d love to recruit Texas regularly but are unsure about the travel demands it would create for the non-football teams on campus.
But Fresno State wasn't last in the Pac-12 Insider's odds as possible expansion candidate for the conference.From Canzano:"Pac-12 Commissioner George Kliavkoff said on Media Day last month that he hadn’t decided if he was going shopping in the Big 12 yet. It was a barb directed at a conference he accused of lobbing “grenades” at him for several weeks. Kliavkoff said he believed the Big 12 was trying to destabilize the Pac-12.
Might the Pac-12 go on the offensive and try to add some of the best Group of 5 schools out West, or some schools from the Big 12 to prevent that from happening, or to help it survive should the Big Ten poach more universities from the conference?He wrote:"There’s just one problem with the PAC-12 attempting expansion as a last ditch effort to survive, and it’s the fact the conference has very little leverage right now.
Conference realignment and expansion talk is bound to continue to swirl, with the Pac-12 right in the middle of it.
