I don't know how long the current PAC 12's TV revenue sharing contract is good for but when it's expired the next contract won't be near as lucrative and make it even more difficult to recruit competitively with the super conferences. After all, that's why those four Big 12 schools fled to the SEC - more TV money.

For example if the Pac 12 moved to Conference USA or the MAC, would it mean all of the sports for those teams would also follow or could they have a dominating Basketball program for instance that competes against the major college teams?

Maybe they will try to get the best teams in the BIG10 not in the playoffs or maybe BIG12 vs BIG10?

At least, they are being invited. I’m assuming they’ll all accept. You called, River. Oregon State and Washington State are the last ones standing and them moving to the MWC looks probable.
