To be clear I'm only spit-balling. My completely out-of-my-ass opinion is USC doesn't want to leave the PAC unless they really have no other option, and them talking about all options being on the table are just to 1) apply more heat to Scott & Co. to figure shit out and 2) setup future convos where, if revenue increases seem to be only marginal, they make the case their value to the conference warrants them getting a bigger share than WSU, OSU, etc.
Thats one salty spitball

I meant going to unequal revenue distributions, giving USC a bigger slice, not necessarily creating new revenue out of the blue.
So if the pie stays the same, for USC to get more someone has to get less right?

That thought has crossed my mind. With the long relationship/ mutual respect the B1G and PAC have, perhaps 4-6 PAC teams see if they can become the western arm of a B1G PAC conference. The four Cali schools, UO, and UW perhaps.
But I doubt anything happens and bet USC is just trying to lay the groundwork for pressuring the PAC into maybe giving them a bigger piece of the TV pie.
It doesn't seem like there is anymore $ to be squeezed from the Pac. I mean where is this extra $ going to come from? Is the plan to just milk Washington st and Oregon st? I know they tried to sell part of their network for a cash injection but it seems that didn't happen, or are they still holding out hope there?

The B12 isn't USC's only option. If they'd consider traveling to far-flung options in Texas and the plains states, then they'd likely consider traveling to far-flung options in the midwest as well. And they're an AAU university.
USC to B1G talk not going away.
If the new league were divided by former Pac schools in one div and former Big12 schools in the other, then USC isn't having to travel to far-flung locations anymore than they do now.
WVU, to the ACC, Baylor dropped.
On Pac side Oregon st and Washington st dropped, one of Arizona st/Utah/Colorado gets the last spot.

If the Big12 had tie-ins to both the Sugar and Rose Bowls it would be raining $$$.

Well I absolutely agree with you there. Anyone that takes the simplistic view that a "merger" is likely, doesn't see the big picture.
The B12 gains nothing from a "merger" with the PAC.. However, the B12 gains plenty by adding just USC and perhaps a traveling partner, depending on who it is and what eactly USC is asking.
All of this speculation of course, based on the idea that USC would actually consider leaving the PAC. I know they said nothing is off the table, but that would be a pretty major step for a program with a lot of tradition and history in that conference.
Which is why from a USC prospective, it may be better to include 7 or so other Pac schools, keeping the division regional and historical.
Either way the fact is, which is now codified by the USC AD, that they are financially desperate, minor tweaks aren't cutting it, and a drastic change is going to have to be made in order for USC to be satiated financially. Standing pat is no longer an option for USC and Pac schools, a big change of some sort is coming.
From a Big12 school perspective, and these may be varying but it would seem logical, that the priorities would be to keep their division regional, and receive as large a pay bump as possible.

2019 season was a lame duck year for USC football.. they had a dead man walking for a HC (somehow got a stay for now), and boosters boycotting with no AD. And still were pretty much even with attendance with ISU. I'm not saying that Iowa st, KSU should be left behind or anything. But SC is still SC despite the dumpster fire it currently is. This notion of thinking that it's them and just one partner being allowed to join is a joke. You can call it a merger or annex or expansion but a min of 7/8 teams from the Pac along with 7/8 of the current big 12 makes the most sense,
Keep the schools in the same division as now. The 9th conf game will be a random crossover game from the opposite division.
Iowa St, KSu fans should be happy.. they have a chance to grab kids from Cali now too if this were to happen.
The 8th and 9th conference games could be interdivisional, guaranteeing a home and away every year, and guaranteeing no longer than 4 years between matchups.

We can thank Mike Bohn for the move to the Pac 12.
Interesting that USC just hired him as their new AD. 🧐

I like that too but apparently the west coast Pac folks will regard Stanford and Cal as necessary inclusions. If that is the case:
Big16 Pac div
USC
UCLA
Stanford
Cal
Washington
Oregon
Arizona
Arizona St/Utah
Big 16 Southwest div
UT
TCU
TT
OU
OSU
Kansas
CU
Utah/Baylor
Iowa St and Kansas St to the B1G, getting them into the KC market.
WVU to ACC

Why even do this? Just to lose Iowa State and West Virginia? I'm sure Washington State is on board with this plan too. At least try to make some damn sense. This thread goes off the fuckin rails every year but this year in particular it's infested with idiocy.
West Central
USC UT
UCLA OU
Washington Kansas
