As a former student at SDSU and a graduate of Wazzu, I am ecstatic. Aztecs have deserved this for a long time. Deep down inside many of us believed this was inevitable. Congrats Aztecs. Go Cougs.
I felt the pac12 was dumb to not add them years ago, just to stabilize the conference if SC and.or UCLA (money grubbers) bolted. I am also glad the pac12 will still be alive. This is great.
Welcome Aztecs! It was great hearing the reasoning behind the move and seeing your excitement. Taking only 4 from the MWC is respectful despite how the other MWC members may feel right now. It still keeps them at 8 for now and won't have to disband while giving nearly two years to replace them.
Call us WSU, Washington State, or Wazzu, but please don't call us Washington. Go Cougs
Nah. /
Wow. Turning down a 1/2 Big12 pay check for 100% Pac12 is crazy.
Not sure that ever happened as I think both big10 and big12 have stated no more additions. But even if true, good for them, its about time a school thinks of its fans and teams over the almighty dollar for a change.
Yes. This PAC 12 is a remarkable and elite conference. Congratulations Aztecs and welcome to the PAC Family! SDSU … You Rock!
Welcome to the Pac 12 Aztecs!!
It's not the Pac 12.
They're already gone.
@@RobertDetert It still is, just the teams have changed (other than OSU and WSU).
Welcome aboard. Happy for you guys. Let's keep pushing #GoCougs
Congratulations!!! This is awesome
What a great way to go. Go Pac12. Go. Go. Go Go.
So the PAC12 went from a P5 conference with 10 AAU schools, to a G5 conference having 0? Forgive me, but I don't see how this is an upgrade...I guess it'll be the best "Group of 6" conference...
And Fresno is in which is good for us as they go way back with us and it's good for us old guys.
Us PAC loyalists and the PAC 2 is beyond elation in welcoming the Aztecs of San Diego State University to the family and the rebuilding of the storied Conference of Champions. I can’t think of a better destination roadtrip than San Diego. SDSU - You are the marquee! Go Cougs!
This rebuilt PAC will grow into its shoes. Just as the American Football League did and just like the American Basketball league did. Western sports deserve a home. A great history and tradition.
This will be a fun conference to watch.
They're stupid.
Should have stayed in the MWC.
Pac 8 isn't any better than the MWC.
This must be the guy that didn’t want to take “less” in the Big 12 🤣
He be lucky if they get 15 mill , less than half the XII 😂
@@JohnnyDeJesusRodriguezthey will be lucky to get the aac deal of 9 million a year, what network is paying 15 million for Fresno and Boise state?
But it’s not the same pac 12…this is a G6 conference
Yep.
That's been happening to all of the group of 5 conferences too
They've been losing teams to the now 4 major conferences.
And to other group of 5 conferences too.
The only group of 5 conference that hasn't really changed is the MAC.
If it gets 2 more it will be eliglble for the playoffs. Liberty played in a Group of 6 bowl last year against oregon.
Welcome to the PAC!
Does San Diego St. belong to the AAU? Does the other MWC schools coming in belong to the AAU? Does any school in this new conference have any academic honors? So lets stop talking about it Mr. AD.
If you didn't know, SDSU and Fresno were competing in the PAC-12 in soccer .
Welcome to the PAC-12 Aztecs!
Bwaaaahahaha these people actually believe this is going to be a Power conference with an autobid. They’ll have to add 4 more teams to get to 10, as 8 is not really viable. The CW/Prime media contract will be < $10m per team. This AD is an absolute idiot.
Glad. LOVELY PLACE.
Thank you, Fred Miller.
Wonder who’s next? They’re still at least two slots left right?
GREAT MOVE! There are ONLY positives to joining a re-built PAC12 with top tier teams. This will be a BIG step forward. Basketball, Football, Baseball, Volleyball and 12 other sports will benefit.
* The new PAC12 will be the TOP group of 6 leagues.. !
Top tier teams? where? This is nothing but the Mountain West Conf +2!
Top tier? Top of the 6 leagues?
These 4 schools have determined this is the best possible solution for them at this time. It is a gamble. I wish them well. I am grateful BYU is not in this predicament.
It's not a Power Conference, despite its name. But, sure, better than traveling to Wyoming.
Its not done adding yet. And Boise in Football and SDSU in hoops can go up against almost any program the last 10-15 years.
Dude needs to cry more
So will the 6 pac be a group of 6 or power 5? Anyone know?
First of all, I believe they will continue to add institutions! UNLV and SMU have been mentioned. It also makes sense for Stanford and Cal to come back into the fold for economic reasons. Then the league will be a very viable television market nationally which is where all the money is. It will definitely be a POWER-5
Group.of 6 now.
For one thing they still only will have 6 teams.
Who they gonna play for their other 7 games a season.
@@vernonsheldon-witter1225 And you know this how? Or is it just your opinion…, you know what they say about opinions.
Hopefully San Diego state can put some people in the stadium. Most games I’ve watched y’all got a half Empty stadium.. Good luck with that.. Pac will be group of 6 no way you can compete with Teams like that💯🤣
You will have to see it I'm person, they made the stadium for people to walk around and visit while still watching the game. Looks bad on TV, but there are alot more people doing something out of their seats then any other stadium I have ever been to and I have been to many.
Bro is literally crying over San Diego state 😂. Good lord man.
PAC12 lucky to have the Aztecs to join!!! Not the other around
PAC12 omitting UNLV from their conference was a mistake. Someone at Wazzu, OSU or consultant “Navigate” should be fired…
Long Live the PAC 5:52 considering the exit fees the former PAC12 schools paid to leave, yes the PAC12 should assist the new schools I covering their exit fees because ultimately you're 2 teams away from reaching the status of a P5 program and that's the ultimate goal.
OMG, I never believed this would happen. It isn't April Fool's Day is it?
Pac 12 is becoming a lower tier than it used to be
Of course . All the big money left. The conference will rebuild successfully. But no one has USC, UCLA, Stanford and Cal money. I personally believe they’ll come home and the PAC will be the super conference.
How yall gonna leave my Rebels behind, you guys chose Colo St over us 😂😂 messed up
As a Fresno State fan, I believe that UNLV will be the next PAC-12 team. They are actually adding these schools in pairs. UNLV will be paired with SMU in my opinion.
I live in Las Vegas. It will happen. And, I am happy about that. I do hate seeing the MWC come apart. I had season tickets at Air Force for 20 years and it is great football. I would have preferred a merge as opposed to a selection.
The issue with adding UNLV is Reno.
If it's both or none, likely none.
San diego st. Wasn't a co founder of the mountain west, it was the schools from the wac that where the co founders they just added san deigo st. To make up the league, so get ur facts straight!!!
Jeezus, could you two at least put on a suit or business attire? Wearing a hoodie & golf shirt when you are making a major announcement looks cheap.
They're hipsters what you expect👀💀
Crying…grow up.
Welcome SDSU. Impressive news conference. Go Beavs! Beat the Aztecs!😋
Let's Go Broncos!!!
