The Pac-12 is dealing with a similar shock the Big 12 dealt with last summer.
USC and UCLA are planning a move to the Big Ten, according to Jon Wilner, gutting the Pac-12 in the process. When Oklahoma and Texas planned their move out of the Big 12, the Big 12 found a way to stabilize by bringing four Group of Five powers up to the Power Five level. There aren’t a ton of highly marketable Group of Five schools left to choose from, putting the already geographically isolated Pac-12 in a dicey spot.
After being a punching bag for the past 12 months, could the Big 12 go on the offensive?
