PAC9? Colorado expected to join XII in 2024-25 season

When we discuss the Big 12 adding additional schools, it’s almost always from the Pac 12. I was just wondering what is the exit fee for any teams in the ACC? That league is going to be robbed at some point by the SEC and the Big Ten, so it would probably be beneficial for the other teams in the conference to start thinking about their futures. As the Big 12 gives any incoming P5 team full GOR money, would it not maybe be worth it to a Pitt, Virginia Tech, NC State, Louisville, or Georgia Tech to look at taking a hit the first year, but offsetting it with the higher money? Just wondering since I don’t know what the financials would be. It would be awesome for UCF, West Virginia, and Cincinnati, and would instantly create East Coast rivalries, as well as travel partners. It would also expand the Big 12 television coverage coast to coast.
What I do know is that it would be a mistake to jump quickly right now and grab up some G5 teams simply because we need to get to 14. I just cannot believe that any of the current teams in the conference are willing to take a cut in their payouts. And that would include UCF. Anybody want to give away any of the $ we’ve fought so hard to get?

my understanding is ACC GOR is so expensive no one will break it they are all locked in until the TV deal is up.
PAC-12 TV deal is up so they have $0 exit fee.
Big XII deal says power5 move is equal pay. Colorado liked the number and has joined. i expect AZ to follow CO. beef up XII with current P5s and not any G5s.
If the Pac-12 wants to expand, here's who they should target
In order to stabilize, it’s pretty clear that the Pac-12 Conference needs to expand. Here are some candidates for them to bring in.

all G5 targets
And not a usf option listed lol. They really have written the book on epically falling from #2 for 5 days to what they are now.If the Pac-12 wants to expand, here's who they should target

They should move down to d3. Maybe then they can win a game
They literally don’t understand that the PAC is in a survival to stay relevant and needing schools to bring the most value and relevancy. usf is a joke of an athletics program, no one is looking at a league with usf in it as anything but G5. The PAC if it survives at all in the coming weeks/months (days?) needs the most relevant G5 teams available, and even then the perception will be they are now a G5 league that will make G5 money. Same with the ACC of all of the big names leave, it will be G5 making G5 money. Poor bastards don’t even realize they are the Vanderbilt of the G5, with an elitist attitude.
Vanderbilt baseball won the CWS twice in the past 10 years... usf is not a Vanderbilt.
The PAC is in serious trouble and not one media person is talking about how Cal wants to get rid of football. The support for football at Cal is in the sewer and it is dragging the entire conference down. Stanford is not much better and there are many at Stanford that want to get rid of football.
Gonna be the PAC-8 shortly at least. With the TV deal expiring, folks are gonna want to get out and not be constrained to new GOR.
Meet the man holding the keys to the next wave of conference realignment
Will the Pac-12 hold together, or are we in for more seismic change?
If you’re on Twitter, they’ll be an icon on the bottom right where you can ‘share a Tweet’ and copy the link to your keyboard.
Only thing I came across earlier was:
West coast "morning"
AZ meets in "afternoon"

Investments Portfolios are diversified, why not academic institutions & their corresponding athletic conferences? ...North AZ isn't in PAC nor being considered for Big12, so why the hypocrisy? ...would be my position as AZ leadership.
Did you really? Oh well. To be honest, I don’t pay much attention to the recruiting, at least for football (I understand the irony in this as I post on a recruiting website). I usually start paying attention to the team right about now when camp starts.
But I think that goes to show that UCF is a program on the rise, if you’re able to flip established power conference program recruits.
