How Many Teams Will Be Left In Pac-12 in 2024?
108-Year-Old Conference On Life , There May be a Lifeline
The 2023 Pac-12 Team odds show the Utah (+600) will challenge for the top spot in what should be a terrific season out West. The problem is, what will become of the Pac-12 next season? Let’s examine the potential outcomes of that question.
Pac 12: What Has Happened So Far
We’d much rather focus on the 2023 Pac-12 team odds, Bruins. That started the dominoes.
Just under a month later, Arizona State, and Utah made it public that they’ll be following the Buffaloes to the Big 12. That leaves the Pac-12 with just four schools, California, Stanford, Oregon State, and Washington State. Why the realignment, lucrative television contracts is the answer. As we look into the future what might 2024 look like for the flailing conference?
Are We Watching The End Of the Pac-12 Or Mountain West?
There are still talks that Boise (Boise State).
We also could be looking at the conference making room for whoever is left from the Pac-12. There is also another scenario in the years that could see the Power Five Conferences become the Power Two with brand new television deals that include a 7-year-$7 billion dollar deal with CBS. NBC, and Fox, that runs through 2030. The SEC’s deal with ESPN is for $3 billion through 2024. If we’re predicting 2023 Pac-12 Teams odds for what will likely happen, this is what we’re betting on.
Pac-12 Will Likely be The Poachers at Some Point
There is only so much movement to be had before every conference that isn’t considered a Power Five conference will likely be swallowed up to form an East and West College Football division. For now, rather than the Pac-12 morphing with the Mountain West, we think the Pac-12 will take the best of the MWC and AAC in order to fill the void left by the eight teams who are in the process of moving out. If it goes in that direction, Fresno State, two California schools.
Beyond that, Boise State would be the next attractive option followed by Cincinnati although Memphis would be a welcomed member with their basketball success. That is the best we can make out the future Pac-12 Team odds for where the remaining schools will end up in 2024. What a mess.
