It’s good for everybody for those schools to join the big 12. It gives academic gravitas to that conference and makes 4 good balanced conferences.[/quote]

Agree 100%. The Power 5 will now be the Power 4 Conferences.

In 2024, the Big 12 Conference will have 16 teams: ASU, Arizona, Baylor, BYU, UCF, U Cincinnati, U Colorado, U Houston, Iowa State, U Kansas, Kansas State, Oklahoma State, TCU, Texas Tech, Utah, & West Virginia.

Adding Cal, Stanford, Wash State U., & Oregon State would expand the Big 12 Conference up to 20 teams and super-conference status.[/quote]

Big12 shot this down last night.  Said not looking to add anymore Pac12 schools.[/quote]
I heard Mountain West is still looking for members.  LoL.

Oregon State & Washington State will probably join the Mountain West conference (MWC).[/quote]
Cal is a never been and Stanford is a has been.  However the Bay Area is a huge $ market so it might make financial sense for the ACC to take them.  As for WSU and Oregon State, they probably will do belong in a 3rd Tier conference.  Not sure how WSU flag guy on college game day is going to react though.[/quote]

I agree the Big12 should think about stealing the CA schools away at a discount. Stanford football has only been bad recently. They have 3 total losing seasons since 2010 (3 of the last 4). Stanford went a BCS level bowl 5 times in that same period. They have had as many Rose Bowl years as losing seasons. The longer-term problem isn't the quality on the field for Stanford, it is the lack of eyeballs despite the Bay Area market and direct connection to leaders at big streaming services. 
Don't forget about that natty in '26 either  :lol:

(OP here)

Interesting thought, but I suspect that the Big 12 Conference schools do not want to recruit against Stanford.[/quote]
