Can you post a link to your graphic? It's too small to read.

All things considered, and if/when it comes to pass, they ought to ditch the PAC name.
It'll be a wee less Pacific based if things proceed as anticipated.

Thanks bluedog..

[redrunner]

Yeah, thanks BD.

They need to update the image of Texas Memorial Stadium since the north end zone was rebuilt and expanded. And Godzillatron isn't in there either.

How about the name BIG PAC?

[redrunner]

Reminds me of Big Mac. Don't like it. What about United West Conference?

[kevinpate]

I imagine the PAC will remain, and only the numerals change, if only
because those from the University of Systemic Cheating and the
others lining the western border will want to keep their conference
name intact.

I'll get over the demise of the Big 12.
I'm not thrilled I need to, but yeah, I'll get over it.

"the mean 16"

The conference graphic looks like a gerrymandered congressional district to me. Big PAC may not be so inappropriate.

With all the financial problems on the West Coast I am starting to think that the PAC 10 expansion is really just an attmept to save that conference from dissolving. I read today where if the Big XII South says No then the PAC 10 would invite Utah and call it quits at 12 teams. This get them a championship game in football, but who would really care.

Adding Colorado and Utah isn't going to help the PAC 10 raise money or bring about a better TV deal. Colorado was one of the worst performing revenue schools in the Big XII and didn't pull their weight in the Big XII. In reality, the conference is better off without them.

My guess is the PAC 10 needs the Big XII South far more than Big XII needs the PAC 10. I say invite Arizona and Arizona St to replace Colorado and Nebraska and move OU and OSU to the Big XII North (OU can still play Texas every year but some of the games would count as non-conference games).
