As college conference realignment and expansion speculation and rumors continue to swirl, take a look at some burning questions facing the Pac-12 Conference and possible answers to those questions from college and conference insiders.
Keep coming back as we update this story with more burning questions surrounding the future of the Pac-12.Jon Wilner of the San Jose Mercury News answered a question about the odds of the Pac-12 potentially collapsing if Stanford, Cal, Washington and Oregon left for the Big Ten. He wrote:"100 percent. In that scenario, a total of six schools would be headed to the Big Ten, and the Four Corners would undoubtedly leave for the Big 12. Sure, the conference could reform with Oregon State, Washington State and a slew of Mountain West schools, but it would be the Pac-12 in name only."CBS Sports' Dennis Dodd wrote: Separate from any Big Ten discussion, ESPN now has a chance to become somewhat of a"kingmaker" regarding these leagues.
He wrote:"Thus making it vital that the Pac-12 adds at least two more teams, but the optimal number would be six. Getting back to 12 is a must, but the conference needs to be on the offensive side of things for once and get ahead of the Big 12 and ACC when it comes to forming larger mega-conferences.
