Pac-12 open to possible expansion, new commissioner says

Pac-12 Commissioner George Kliavkoff spoke with the Review-Journal about the state of college athletics, including the future of his conference, which could be expanding.

Probably the biggest piece of real news since OU and UT's departure. Pac-12 commish expects to have a real answer about whether that league will expand or not "in the next couple of weeks."

If yes, the competition for those four spots (likely just four) will be fierce; if no, the Big 12 leftovers are probably gonna have to start thinking about sending our own invites out for 2025.

This timeline seems much faster than many on here expected.

Could also start a new realignment domino effect and at least we can get some clarity on the situation.

They'll have to lower their academic standards. I doubt they budge on religious institutions, however.

If I'm them, I'm taking Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, Kansas State, & UNLV.

Unless we tell them "No" because we have a B1G invite as the best-kept secret, taking KSU over us would be incredibly dumb.

I don’t think they even contemplate baylor and tcu so i like our chances.

No way they take UNLV. That makes no sense.

You aren't getting the PAC 12 commissioner job anytime soon. K State and UNLV are among the least desirable options available.

Some really interesting quotes in that article. Makes me think they’re not going to expand and focus on the alliance.

They have geographic proximity in their favor being closer to Colorado.

I wonder if this has anything to do with the BIG and ACC?

Taking UNLV over ISU, KU and TCU would be even more dumber and senseless on the P12's part.

Why would you take theses 4?

Yeah, that plane trip to Ames sounds so much more appealing than Vegas.

Football fans that care in a central time zone, and in the case of UNLV geographic proximity and fantastic facilities. They're already using Allegiant Stadium for the PAC championship game.

Where do you think Iowa State ends up then?

Then we should have kicked out Oklahoma for Tulane because New Orleans is way better than Norman. Wait, that’s not at all how this works.

If the Pac moves to expand, they'll probably need to look at adding more than 4. I doubt the B1G will sit around and just watch it happen. Wouldn't be surprised if that move by the Pac is followed by a similar move by the B1G with USC, UCLA, Oregon, Wash.

Pacific time zone is the problem for the pac12, not the solution.

Odd. Is this just you putting your Cyclone nut cup on?

Lol.

This is what concerns me about possibly joining the Pac 12. Could be jumping from one sinking ship to another.
