We're all tired of the Pac-12 fallout by now, especially those of us in Beaver or Cougar country. It's yet another symptom of college sports being run by despotic suits at ESPN or FOX or university athletic departments, harming years of tradition---sometimes a hundred years or more of tradition---just to make a couple more million dollars at the end of the year. Much has been said about the Pac-12's inability to escape its own demise, and one of the most prominent ways it could have done this was by adding Texas, Texas Tech, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, and Colorado back in 2011.
But what if that move had been made? What if, instead of backing out, Texas had decided that the Pac-16 was a viable option? Would we see Larry Scott as a genius instead of having a curse word put in front of his name forevermore? What would have happened to those Big 12 teams that were left behind? What about the SEC? Big 10? ACC? Come on, somebody please think about the Big East!
In this video, I make my prediction about what would have happened had the Pac-16 superconference came to be. As it's simply an exercise in thought, and the future would have been impossible to predict due to the butterfly effect, my prediction here is only one possibility. I'd love to hear your thoughts and predictions on what would have happened below.
