By and large, Addicted to Quack has refrained from too much commentary or speculation on this summer’s wave of Conference re-alignment. The situation can certainly be described as “fluid,” driven mainly by rumors or vague statements from Conference leaders, and all the main possibilities – a Pac-10; a Pac-12 with either a forced return of UCLA and USC through State government action or through recruitment of two new members; or a move by Oregon and/or other current Pac-12 members to other conferences - are still in play and may not even need to be proposed this year.
The main potential suitors seem to be the Big 12 and the Big 10 but even that is no certainty.
