Pac-12 says it's not pursuing any plans for expansion at this time
https://www.espn.com/college-football/st...-expansion
I am going to read entirely too much into this article...
Quote:but the reality remains that the Big 12 will have to add schools from the Group of 5 conferences to become whole again after Texas and OU leave.
Big 12 is actively trying to pull G5 schools into the league
Quote:Stability was important to us," Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff told ESPN on Thursday. "We think that instability and vibration across college athletics is not good for the industry. It's why, No. 1, we came to the conclusion that we came to, and No. 2, why we did it so quickly.
There won't be any immediate expansion amongst Big 10, ACC or PAC 12
Quote:If the Big 12 is able to lure in valuable programs -- most likely from the American Athletic Conference -- and remain a Power 5 entity, the overall landscape would remain relatively stable.
The Big 12 will become a part of the alliance for scheduling/voting if they are able to ward off the AAC.
Quote:If the AAC is able to hold the upper hand, though, and lure Big 12 schools to make a case to become a Power 5 league, it could create another tremor that might cause the Pac-12 to rethink its position.
The PAC 12 will take teams from Big 12 before they allow them to go to AAC.
Quote:For now, the main goal is stability.
"The quicker the stability, the better," Kliavkoff said.
Expect to hear something really soon.

You gonna win the $500 million Powerball? Because your odds are better than the AAC raising the Big 12
