Washington State and Oregon State might determine their best option is to orchestrate a reverse merger with the 12 Mountain West schools.

Please note: Some questions have been edited for clarity and brevity.

“In the event of the dissolution or final liquidation of the Conference, all of the remaining assets and property of the Conference shall, after paying or making provision for the payment of all of the liabilities and obligations of the Conference and for necessary expenses thereof, be distributed to the members of the Conference …”

I’m not sure “war chest” is the right description; we simply don’t know enough about the assets and liabilities. Retired Fox Sports president Bob Thompson floated a “reverse merger” scenario between the Mountain West and the “Pac-2” that would allow the remaining schools to keep all the NCAA Tournament cash. A new Pac-12 could get a small media deal and emerge healthy. Thoughts? — @pfnnewmedia

There are loads of issues to sort through — the biggest winners in realignment, now and always, are billable hours — but the reverse merger makes sense because the Pac-12’s brand, although battered, would carry more long-haul value than the Mountain West brand.Realignment is nuts. The ACC is expected to make a decision on Cal and Stanford by the middle of next week, but WSU and OSU will require more time to resolve their futures.
