An alliance between the Pac-12, Big Ten and ACC was announced to try and work together. That lasted 10 months until the Big Ten moved in and grabbed the Pac-12’s two Los Angeles pillars. Now down to 10 schools, everything is possible. They could get raided again by the Big 12 or Big Ten. They could try to add schools from the Mountain West as well, including San Diego State State and Boise State.
