chances of Penn State jumping ship? I'd say less than negative 100%

In the bigger picture though, attempts like this to take universities out of a conference during this instability makes it clear to these conferences that they need to push to 16 as quickly as possible to avoid any poaching. They have to demonstrate to their members that they'll be one of the big dogs or risk others coming in to take their spot.
