PAC-12 needs to grab Texas State
Agree
No thank you.
They need to patiently add UTSA. Why do people think the Pac 12 has to do more than 8 for now?
Why Texas St?
1. Located between Austin and San Antonio so access to two nice size TV markets.
2. Student body of 40,000.
3. 30,000 seat football stadium.
Stop turning down your noses to Texas St. PAC 12 still needs 8 programs to meet the conference eligibility requirements for NCAA. Utah St makes #7, UNLV potentially #8. For scheduling purposes, a 9th team means you can schedule 8 conference games and that's where Texas St makes sense.
@BuffaloPros because a 9th team means you can have 8 conference games. That's one less OOC game you have to worry about. UTSA, Memphis, Tulane, and others would still be in play to eventually get to 12 teams.
Gonzaga vs UConn would feed families
I’m a Boise State fan. I hate the fact they keep pulling from the mountain west. It’s basically going to turn into the mountain west 2.0 with 2 pac-12 teams and a new nameBoise State wanted to leave the mountain west for more competition and recognition. They can’t get more recognition or credit they deserve if they keep playing the same teams for a conference title. Just because Boise State is a pac-12 team, are they suddenly magically relevant just because of the pac12 name? It’s ridiculous. We should have gone to the Big12 instead of other teams like UCF. We’ve had more history of success than UCF has
Unfortunately for Boise State, Florida is a much more fertile recruiting ground than Idaho (or the whole PNW for that matter).
They're rebuilding by taking the best MW programs under the Pac-12 banner with room for expansion eastward. Excellent situation for the Pac-12. Where is UTSA going to go?
PAC 12 needs to get guaranteed basketball games against UCONN if they bring on their football team. Remember that Uconn has not gone to other conferences because the other conferences would not take their football team. Use that as leverage.
😂 you honestly think UConn is going to fly to the other side of the country for "10" million........ FOH
@@noelramirez1551
Yes! UConn has not joined other conferences because they would not accept their football program. They want their football team part of a conference. College teams are flying all Over the place mainly for football exposure and money. Not sure what FOH means.
@@noelramirez1551 no different than what teams do for non conference games. 4 times a year isn’t all the crazy.
@@ryansuter4424 it means like GTFOH but shorter...... You guys realize UConn is currently losing 5 million a year for just having a football team they're not going to add to that by traveling across the US for 10 million
No way UNLV doesn’t join the PAC. They know by staying in the MW is literally the nail in the coffin.
Not to mention the PAC’s interest in their program which has been on the up recently and being in the Vegas tv market
@@brendankelly9037Well technically the Vegas TV market is like #49 or something like that but I agree with the notion that being in Vegas carries appeal. You'd bring an NFL stadium into whatever conference you go into and plus Vegas is growing rapidly. I think UNLV feels they're a big enough deal to bide their time tbh
If there is a compromise that UConn guarantees a decent amount of basketball games against PaC 12 teams that would be ok.
After a needlessly tumultuous year for the PAC 2, now we have the PAC 6 and PAC 7. And UNLV perhaps waiting in the wings, there finally appears light at the end of the PAC 2.0 tunnel. It’s a great day to be in the PAC!
I think UNLV will change their minds and join the PAC12 now that USU intends to join. MWC will have to add New Mexico State, UTEP, and Texas State?
1. Oregon State
2. Washington State
3. Boise State
4. Fresno State
5. San Diego State
6. Colorado State
7. Utah State
8. UNLV
9. Hawaii (FB)
10. Gonzaga (BB)
PAC-10 Baby
No Hawaii. They play their home games at a practice facility. If you are going to fly a long distance, take UConn.
@@STC987 is UConn really a step up from Hawaii? Also why would they want to join? Hawaii has to travel far to play everyone. UConn doesn't
Is UCONN football better than University of Hawaii? What is funny is that UCONN is probably cheaper to bring in. Still UCONN basketball need to be part of this deal in same fashion.
I would say UConn football is better. At least they have a real stadium and coach. Hawaii plays home games at a practice facility because their stadium was condemned I believe. Plus, with Hawaii you have to deal with poaching and exit fees. Not worth it.
Originally the pac 2 should have combined with the mountain west. It could have been called the pacific west conference.
Still best scenario: If done right the new PAC will incorporate the 2 most football crazy regions in the country: the South and the Mountain west.
Memphis and Tulane
UTSA (or Texas State) and Rice
Utah State and Wyoming
South Florida and Southern Miss
UConn and Georgia State
16
The PAC 12 will be about as competitive as the ACC if not more. Who outside of FSU, Miami, Clemson, and UNC are really going to compete for the CFP? It makes sense they’d take a card from the ACC and go far east to find a football program to add. UCONN is definitely a nationally recognized brand! Let’s see what they can do with more resources and a better conference.
UNC?? 😂
@@STC987 Yes, UNC is one of the top schools in the ACC.
Need UNLV, Texas State and UTSA. Memphis and Tulane should come after we get a TV deal. Memphis and Tulane have no chance at the playoff in the AAC
Teams east of the Mississippi don’t want to join the WAC12
They will when UNLV, Texas state, and UTSA join the PAC. This all about behind the scenes negations and politics. If you think for one second the PAC isn’t still negotiating with some AAC teams, you’re mistaken.
UTSA said no. Texas State will have to say no because the travel cost will nail them. Neither keep a payout over $10M. There will be no more than 9 football schools because Gonzaga will get a full share and OSU/WSU still demand 8 digits per year each… and 9 overall is not out of the question.
@@PCSPounder it may be a no for now, but once the PAC is able to finalize its 8 football members with Gonzaga, they will then have the ability to more accurately assess a TV deal and entice a Texas school.
Actually, one could argue that Memphis and Tulane have a much better path to the playoff by remaining in the AAC. In the 10 years of the CFP, the AAC had the highest ranked G5 conference champion 6 times, CUSA had it 2 times, the MAC had it 1 time, and MWC 1 time.
I know it won't happen... But they should contact Big Sky and nab NAU to fill the Arizona void. That, and having the best track program in thr country wouldn't kill
I would not be surprised if the MW fills its ranks with FBS programs (the four Dakotas, Montana/Montana State, NAU, EWU, etc.)
I don’t see GCU being a viable option, for one they would have to pay 2 exist fees, one to the WAC and one to the WCC. The cheaper and better basketball options in my opinion would be Gonzaga, San Francisco, San Diego and St. Mary’s
GCU would be a good baseball fit.
Is this the only conference where you have to be a State school to be a member?
Having two CSU schools basically means we will never see Cal/Stanford return to the Pac-12.
Why don't they just combine with the Mountain West and actually have 12(+) members?
Money
Uptown Ninjas Living Violent
OnlyTake UConn if they commit all their sports!! Don’t give in to UConn.
You guys are f*cking stupid...is the PAC going to give UConn 30 million? UConn football is a negative 5 million look it up UConn loses money having a football team .....and with travel costs
Grabbing more Mountain West is a terrible idea. It’s just Mountain West 2.0
better than getting the left overs, otherwise its Norther Illinois, or Texas State or UTEP.
Not if they have more room for expansion. They're using the Big 12 expansion playbook.
Adter 2027 the AAC exit fee drops significantly if memphis gives notice. They shoukd wait a bit, see the TV deal, then give notice. Memphis bball and football would improve the pac12 brand even more and would be very much welcome. I hope they are reconsidering their commitment to AAC.
The Pac-12 is the only option for UTSA, anyway.
I think the Pac-12 will add the top AAC schools in the future. From a marketing POV, the Pac-12 logo makes a huge difference in marketing schools. I can't see UTSA going anywhere else.
Pacific Mountain Conference.
Mountain Pacific sounds better!!
Gonzaga, SDSU, GCU, Utah State. Boise State, Colorado State; damn that would be a killer basketball league! Screw UNLV if they don't want in, just get New Mexico and add another great basketball school to an already stacked conference. You all are absolutely right, Gonzaga holds a lot of cards. I know we are not the most sexy, but we are glad to be in.
Thanks for watching!
why is uconn in the conversation? their trash in football
That’s why they need to at least bring in guaranteed basketball games.
Because they need at least 8football teams by 2026 to be considered a conference by the ncaa. Any after that is saving significant money having to pay for non conference opponent
For one basketball....2. last football team to remain a conference. Plus east coast viewers sponsors fans etc etc. the basketball team alone is worth it
Every conference has bad teams.
The WAC12 lol
It'll just be the MWC with a different name.
Didn’t your team just lose to Northern Illinois at home? Talk about Wack.
Looking forward to Boise State kicking Notre Dame in the nuts next season for that comment
Look for the next invite to be
New Mexico State
I will say that’s not happening.
