Oregon State and Washington State might not have conference clarity for a while as they sort out their options and legal matters with the Pac’s assets.

An idea surrounding relegation—in a good way—has reportedly been discussed according to Yahoo! Sports’ Ross Dellenger.

It’s a good idea to consider. On today’s episode of Locked On Pac-12, I look at a potential future for the ‘Pac-2’ teams facing off in Pullman on Saturday.

The proposal is complicated but highly fascinating and is more than worth considering for the futures of the Pac-2 and Mountain West Conferences.

Spencer also has a reminder for television networks after this proposal surfaced and was discussed in the college football world, originating from an Associate AD at Boise State.

Plus, a look at who would benefit most from a win in the Pac-12 slate of conference games this Saturday.
