Pac-12 Conference expansion and realignment speculation continues to swirl and the chatter seems to be intensifying. Catch up on the latest.

Pete Thamel wrote:"Amazon has long been linked to the Pac-12 as one of its suitors. And its interest level has been viewed as a potential lifeline for the league amid a marketplace without many attractive open broadcast windows remaining. But it also could have the opposite impact if Amazon's dollars are redirected...Amazon could have outsized influence by putting its money elsewhere -- the Big Ten and Big 12 via a sublicense -- to help subsidize potential realignment moves.

"Jon Wilner wrote:"We cannot ignore the elephant in the region: Should the university presidents offer membership to Gonzaga? The Bulldogs are the best basketball program in the Pac-12 footprint that isn’t in the Pac-12. They are the only program remotely capable of filling the void left behind when UCLA leaves for the Big Ten in the summer of 2024. They are the only program that could stand as a second tentpole, alongside Arizona, in a reconfigured conference.
