• That the Big 12 will now be a Big 16, with the Four Corner schools given the chance at surviving until the next round of realignment. Glad CU jumped first, and didn't have to sweat out an invitation (46%, 114 Votes)
• That the four orphan schools - the Bay Area schools, WSU and OSU - were left out in the cold by the Oregon/Washington move. So much for loyalty. Apple Cup and Civil War should be fun this fall (33%, 82 Votes)
• That Oregon was willing to take less than a full share (how much TBD) to be the straw which broke the Pac-12's back. The Ducks had an easier path to the CFP in the Pac-12, but chose to leave (21%, 53 Votes)

• Pac-12 Commissioners Larry Scott and George Kliavkoff. Scott set the table with a decade of mismanagement, and Kliavkoff didn't do enough to keep the conference together (69%, 229 Votes)
• USC and UCLA for leaving. While not the straw that broke the camel's back, none of the other schools would have had to go looking around for a new conference (29%, 97 Votes)
• The Four Corner schools or the Oregon/Washington block. Whichever group blinks first, and votes to leave the conference, the Pac-12 sinks below nine teams, and it's time to turn out the lights (2%, 5 Votes)

• The Four Corner schools - the three remaining, anyway - will join CU in the Big 12, forming a 16-team conference, setting the stage for the Big Ten to take four schools of its own (63%, 182 Votes)
• Only Arizona will leave, which will put a stop to Oregon and Washington leaving for the Big Ten for now, as the Big Ten doesn't want to be seen as the home-wrecker which brought down the Pac-12 (25%, 72 Votes)
• None of the other Four Corner schools will leave, and the Pac-9 will turn its attention toward expansion, taking 1-3 Mountain West schools to get back to full strength (12%, 37 Votes)

• I'm just glad that CU - whether they knew about this proposal or not - got while the getting was good. "Stability" is an important word for the next 5-7 years, and CU will have it (71%, 228 Votes)
• What a joke! The Pac-12 was sold on subscription based revenue 12 years ago, and got burned badly. I can't believe any team in the conference is excited about this proposal ... and some will leave (28%, 89 Votes)
• We know that streaming is the future of sports broadcasting (an NFL playoff game will be on Peacock this season). If the Pac-9 play their cards right, this could turn into a shrewd move (1%, 5 Votes)

• If this isn't already up on the modern version of CU's "bulletin board", then someone isn't doing his job. Perhaps Lanning forgot he still has a game v. CU to play on September 23rd (36%, 104 Votes)
• Sour grapes. CU got while the getting was good, and the "Pac-9" is fading in relevance. Enjoy leading the lemmings off the cliff, Coach! (36%, 103 Votes)
• Sad, but true. Other than 2016, when the Buffs were up and the Ducks were down, CU has been a non-factor during its entire run in the Pac-12. Expect more of this during the season (28%, 78 Votes)
