If the remaining Pac schools move to WCC it should be considered the 5th in P5 no? WCC? They don't play football. I think it has to be the Mountain West. Well, unless the Pac-12 schools drop their football programs. Oh, and there's no P5 anymore. The Pac-12 suffered the same fate that the old Big East (remember, it used to be a P6) did. Agreed. It's now the power 4. And while maybe inevitable, it's a sad day for college sports.

Does the PAC now go after UNLV, SDSU, Hawaii, Gonzaga, Long Beach, Poly etc?

No G5 school have that kind of money laying around. The PAC also have no TV deal so why would any smart program pay 34 mil to leave their conference and head into one without knowing how much money you will get from TV.

Not me thinking this thread name was too dramatic when it was first made

He's not wrong. What they *should* have done is separate football from the rest of the conference system. But that water has long passed under the bridge.

It is quite a sad thing. Hopefully all remaining teams can find a good spot, and move forward. And who knows in 5 or 10 years or more, there is always a chance to recommit. Never say never.

We could probably add the Southwest Conference and the Big 8 to this list.

A couple years ago the Big 12 was very close to being dead. In the days and weeks following TX/OK announcing they were joining the SEC - EVERY remaining school was scrambling for survival. The most likely scenario was for most of those schools being absorbed into the Mountain West. Living around here - I know that diehard fans of Kansas State were going through the processes - and were coming to terms that they would end up being in the Mountain West.
Here is the thing - nobody in the rest of the country gave a rip about the destruction of the Big 12 - or more importantly the likely demise of the athletic departments for many schools left behind. The PAC turned their noses to ANY of the remaining schools in the Big 12.
Then the Presidents of these Universities made the critical decision to hire Yormark.
So, forgive me if I don't give a rip about the PAC schools left behind today.

I mean, this thread title is clearly labelled "PAC12", and if you don't care about the PAC12, you didn't have to open the thread. You especially didn't have to compose a post.

Always has been, always will be. It sucks for college sports. At the very least, we're watching college football turn into the NFL, which is very disappointing to me and I think a lot of other fans. We're losing the unique aspects of college football and probably a lot of other college sports.
