As conference expansion and realignment continues to spin around the country, the Pac-12 is aware of possibilities and opportunities to be involved.

Of course the latest news involving the Pac-12 is an “alliance” with the Big Ten and ACC, which is expected to have a formal announcement coming. This move came only weeks after the SEC added Texas and Oklahoma as members in the next few years, if not sooner.

But Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff, who is brand-new to the job, is keeping his options open, he said in an interview withe Las Vegas Review-Journal.

“I think we’re really, really happy with the 12 that we have in the league,” he said. “The opportunity to revisit that following Texas and Oklahoma has certainly presented itself. I am not actively poaching any school or convincing anyone to leave their existing conference, but I wouldn’t be doing my job if I wasn’t listening to schools that wanted to go in the Pac-12, and we’ve had a lot of them reach out. Probably all of the ones you would expect and several you’d be surprised by.”

“We have taken initial meetings with everyone that has expressed an interest. We have a working group … who are together deciding on what to recommend … At the end of the day, they’ll make the decision about whether or not to offer admission to the Pac-12 to any other schools.”

What’s more, he added that in the next 5 years, the talk about “super conferences and the reclassification of some of the existing conferences is not necessarily going to happen.”

But he said in 10 or 20 years, that could be different.
