With Sin City continuing to rise in the sports and entertainment world, is it the sort of opportunity the Pac-12 can’t let out of their sights?
On today’s episode of Locked On Pac-12, I look at the ever-emerging market of Las Vegas and how it could factor into realignment.
San Diego State and SMU are clearly the top expansion options, so why haven’t they been announced as such?
The likelihood that Colorado or any other Pac-12 school leave for the Big 12 is rather small, but not impossible based on comments from presidents/ADs that have come out in the recent past.
If that were to happen, what could that do to move other schools “up in line” on the realignment front?
