When (IMO a matter of time) the P5 decides to become the P4 (16 members per conference), more than just the P5 conferences will be impacted. If WSU has joined the AAC, the subsequent shakeout from the implosion would be entertaining. Consider:
ACC - loses UVA and UNC to B1G; adds West Virginia, USF and Cincinnati
B1G - poaches UVA and UNC from the ACC
PAC - adds New Mexico, Texas, Texas Tech and Colorado State
SEC - adds Oklahoma and Oklahoma State
American is down two schools (Cincinnati and USF) and the Mountain West is down two schools (Colorado State and UNM). Possible conference additions from the former Big 12 are Baylor, TCU, Texas Tech, Kansas and Kansas State. The AAC expands to 16 teams resulting in a 16 member Conference -
