Pac-12The ACC recently announced that for the next four seasons, the CW will air a handful of college football and basketball games as a sublease through their media deal with ESPN.

This is noteworthy, but not ground-altering news for the Pac-12 in the backdrop of their own media talks.

On today’s episode of Locked On Pac-12, Spencer McLaughlin also examines an outside-the-box idea for expansion the Pac-12 could potentially consider one day—one that hasn’t been discussed at all.

The Pac-12 should want to expand right now with San Diego State and SMU, but what should their mindset be going forward?

SDSU and SMU are widely considered to be the top options for expansion for the Pac-12 for a variety of reasons.

Should SMU, which hasn’t had great success on the football field lately, really be a more sought-after school than Tulane, which just beat USC in the Cotton Bowl?
