I thought the PAC12,  Big 10 and ACC recently has a verbal agreement to not poach schools within these 3 conferences. I guess such agreement means nothing $$$$$$$$$ is involve

That was my first thought.  I recall the three conference commissioners including the B1G commissioner taking the "moral high ground".  So much for that.  It's all about money. This is a real bummer for me. Despite all the drawbacks of the PAC-12 network IMO its WVB programming was the best TV coverage of an Olympic sport for someone subscribing to all network regions.

B1G has vastly pulled ahead of PAC-12 in WVB.  This conference restructuring may have a big impact on recruiting by Stanford in SoCal, still considered a hotbed for prep vb.  Although I suspect all the dominoes will eventually fall and by 2030 there won't be any Pac-12/10/8/6/4/2.
