With the near-dissolution of the PAC 12, the remaining PAC 2 have to think about their survival. Obviously, the geographic and financial concerns require thinking outside of the box — like formalizing a conference with the Mountain West.
And, yes, even going balls-out, and diving into high stakes games where every contest really matters, by adopting relegation:
Will they dissolve the Pac-12 and join the Mountain West?
Will they merge with the Mountain West under the Pac-12 banner to preserve the league and its assets?
Will they rebuild the Pac-12 by plucking other Group of Five members?
