QuackAttack No. 1 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Now it's time for the remaining PAC members to go poach from other conferences best teams that makes geographic sense. While some of the schools aren't necessarily the best on the field, they are important markets, which is why UNLV makes it, because the conference will also move to Nevada and out of their glass tower in SF. There are already rivalries with the old PAC schools. SDSU & FSU are rivals, Tulsa & SMU are close enough to have a Baby Bedlam of their own. Boise & Utah State are very close. CSU gets in to get the Denver market. UNLV & UNR are rivals too. This would be more compelling than the Mountain West because you have UTSA, which is up and coming, Tulsa and SMJ are good as well. UNLV has a new facility to play in and the conference tournament is held there. Present this to Sleepy George, free of charge because it isn't right that OSU & WAZZU should be left out, don't much care for the snobs at Cal or the Trees, but they can add value to a new PAC.

AllOregon No. 2 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Fun idea but can’t just poach MWC schools due to the huge $ buyout clause, with no media $ anymore to back that. Maybe it works the other way if MWC absorbs 2 or all of the remaining PAC 4. But Then they get the $4M per year MWC media deal… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasDuck No. 3 Share Posted August 5, 2023 I could absolutely see what’s left of the PAC and the MW merging at this point. Win-win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
