  Now that Big XII has upgraded by adding four P5 schools, I wonder if they will try to get rid of the G5 schools? (Cinci, BYU, Houston, UCF) to try to better keep up with the BIG 10 and SEC.

  They won’t have any flexibility on that for 5+ years and those schools are technically power 4 schools now anyway. Every conference needs a few whipping boys to boost the records of its flagship programs.

  OMG could you imagine the meltdown in Provo if they got dropped? 😂

  It’s damn near impossible for that to happen. The only way to do it is to leave and create your own conference. For an example of that look at how the MWC was formed.

  Lol google grant of rights. And you do realize those 4 teams were part of a deal that was way better financially than the P10, that’s why the Pac died and B12 is the third most financially successful conference lol.

  Nah man, these schools just voted to admit us to their conference. As a fan base, time to back the XII like we claimed to back the Pac.

  This is dumb.
  
  Don’t forget that we were once in their shoes and, for all we know, could find ourselves out in the cold again someday.
  
  The only thing I wish we could be rid of right now are all these stupid comments from some of our fans.

    100 100. Going on B12 fan pages and their fans are so welcoming, nice, and passionate. Pac12 had so many fanbases that barely cared.
    
    Our subset of dumb fans is giving us a bad rep. We need to take back their fancard lol.

  Funny to think about. But not possible. Conferences can’t just kick members out.
