The Pac-12 conference has been in a state of turmoil for some time now, and it appears that the situation is only getting worse. With the conference’s recent implosion, Stanford and Cal are now seeking invitations from the ACC and Big Ten conferences.
The Pac-12 has been struggling to stay competitive with other Power Five conferences for some time now. The conference has seen its teams struggle to compete with the likes of Alabama, Clemson, and Ohio State in the College Football Playoff. Additionally, the Pac-12 has been unable to keep up with the Big Ten and ACC when it comes to television revenue.
The Pac-12’s implosion has left Stanford and Cal in a difficult position. Both schools are looking to join a more competitive conference in order to remain competitive on the national stage. Stanford and Cal have both expressed interest in joining either the ACC or Big Ten, but it is unclear if either conference is interested in adding them.
The ACC and Big Ten have both been successful in recent years, and adding Stanford and Cal could potentially make them even more competitive. However, both conferences will likely be hesitant to add two new teams, as it could potentially disrupt their current balance of power.
It remains to be seen if Stanford and Cal will be able to find a new home in either the ACC or Big Ten. In the meantime, the Pac-12 will continue to struggle as it attempts to rebuild itself. It will be interesting to see how this situation plays out in the coming months.
