Sometimes there are benefits to focus.
I would guess the Pac-12 execs will make a change, but I don't think they will emulate the SEC.
The ACC just hired the Northwestern AD as its new commissioner. It will be interesting to see what changes he makes there. Given his 12 years at Northwestern, I don't think he will go all SEC. Something for the Pac-12 to watch.
I would not site ISU as a guiding example. They have had a wonderful season, but before 2020, their record the last few years were:
2019: 7-6
2018: 8-5
2017: 8-5
2016: 3-9
2015: 3-9
2014: 2-10
2013: 3-9
2012: 6-7
2011: 6-7
2010: 5-7
2009: 7-6
Basically, Stanford has had a better record than Iowa State every year expect 2019 and this year going back over 10 years.
