HDuck Author No. 2 Share Posted September 26 Each would need 8 members. Does Pac go after San Jose St, or look toward the state of Texas? Will either Seven look toward UTEP, New Mexico State? Texas State? North Texas? A couple of those might make sense for the Mt. West. Seems 9 members with 8 conference games, and 4 non-conference to be scheduled would be better than 5 non-conference? Air Force Hawaii Nevada – Reno UNLV U of New Mexico San Jose St Wyoming Boise St Fresno St Colorado St San Diego St Utah State Oregon St Washington St As I've stated here before, I hope Oregon doesn't get sucked into a non-conference game with OSU every year. It limits Oregon's options for attractive non-conference home opponents, and as Charles say, "rewards the Pig-2." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDuck Author No. 4 Share Posted September 26 Might Hawaii try to weasel their way into the Pac? If the Pac could take San Jose St, then have Hawaii for football only, it would have 9 members for 8 annual football games. Blangiardi assembles team to try to gain admittance into Pac-12 for Hawaii football | Honolulu Star-Advertiser WWW.STARADVERTISER.COM Honolulu Mayor Rick Blangiardi assembled a third-party group that has been lobbying for the University of Hawaii football team to gain admittance into the Pac-12 Conference.

Solar No. 5 Share Posted September 26 UNLV has been flip flopping, I wouldn't trust anything I read about them. UTSA should be added to the list of possibilities. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PittDuck No. 6 Share Posted September 26 (edited) Next on the PIG-2 - 6 - 7 radar: Arkansas State Appalachian State Ball State Georgia State Jacksonville State Kent State New Mexico State Texas State. Is any of them naive enough to believe they will step up a notch? The other ‘State’ schools are in the P4 and wouldn’t drop to the lower tier.

Jon Joseph Moderator No. 7 Share Posted September 27 How does it feel to roll craps while being grounded? Nellis Air Force base is close to The Strip. No matter how much money you have, before you tell the world you asked a cheerleader to the Prom you might want to wait for her to say, "Yes?"

Look at Oregon's facilities, World Class. Look at Oregon State's. Refurbished Reser Stadium? They always sounded so proud when they were talking about it. Oregon State's NIL $ will come from a bake sale. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllOregon No. 9 Share Posted September 27 UNLV rejected Pig2 and signs to stay in Mountain West. On staying, "The league is a genuine brand and an established product," UNLV athletic director Erick Harper said. "Increased revenues are a vital factor. As we look ahead and continue our ascent as an athletics department, this also gives us necessary flexibility as we pursue our future goal of joining an autonomous [Power Four] conference." Wow. 1. Sees MWC as “a genuine brand and established product” over Pig2. 2. Sees better revenue in MWC vs Pig2. 3. Sees MWC as better stepping stone to get to Power 4 status than Pig2. OUCH Mountain West Conference gets commitments from 7 remaining members - ESPN WWW.ESPN.COM The Mountain West has received signed commitments from Air Force, UNLV, New Mexico, Nevada, San Jose State, Wyoming and Hawai'i to stay in the conference.

Charles Fischer Administrator No. 10 Share Posted September 27 Your summary was perfect, Now we can laugh about how pathetic the Scrap-2 have become, or mourn the incredibly rapid descent of the conference of champions.

In the past, the Mountain West has actually done pretty well in the NCAA Tournament between San Diego State and Utah State, thus the Scrap-12 might be a little stronger Basketball conference? It does put the OSU Baseball team in a tough spot, because only Beavis, the Cougs, SDST and Fresno State have a Baseball team...not enough for a real league schedule. They would be better served to be a part of the Big-West conference for Baseball, IMHO. Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hoops NCAA units they earn every year not worth risking for whatever the PAC is offering up. Edited September 27 by JabbaNoBargain Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

30Duck No. 17 Share Posted September 27 (edited) This whole thing with the Scrap-ll, reminds me of back when you had a room to rent and cut up some paper into sections, put your phone number on them, and if people were interested, they could tear one off.
