PAC 12 aims to supplant the Big East as a basketball power.

Pac-12 pausing expansion efforts as conference enters media rights evaluation with current members

The league is one short of full membership and will seek evaluation of its media rights before pursuing more schools

The Pac-12 is banking on Gonzaga improving its basketball product as it goes to market. The conference is aiming to solidify itself as the top multi-bid conference outside the power structure with eyes on supplanting the Big East as a power. The conference projects six of its members as Quad 1 programs. The new programs could land the Pac-12 an average of five teams in the NCAA Tournament each year, according to previous regular-season results.

Good luck with that.

Remember them saying they would be adding the teams swiftly.
Now they have ‘paused’.
LOL
Sorry, Gonzaga, post Mark Few, wouldn’t be a worthy of any marketable conference.

Until they start winning Nation Championships, they aren’t supplanting shit. Speaking of which, when does the b1g plan on ending that drought?

I’m not sure how you “supplant” a conference as a power if said conference is still a power. Wouldn’t you just hoping that you yourself could become a power?

Anyway I’m not sure if that quote can be attributed to a Pac12 rep or just this Brandon guy from cbssports.

"Basketball media rights are expected to rise in the near future. The Big 12 is considering selling its football and basketball packages as separate television deals in 2030. Commissioner Brett Yormark believes the conference has positioned itself into consideration as the strongest basketball product in the country after 70% of its members reached the NCAA men's basketball tournament last season."


I read this and thought...."Did the Big East jump too soon into a new deal?"

Not saying it is so.....just throwing it out there, seeing as the last thing the league can do is to miss out on a bigger payday

What was the Big East to do, the original media contract ends after this season?

The next deal may be a better one.

The next deal will , in all likelihood reflect what the next Conference realignment looks like and what teams are in each conference.
