HappyToBeADuck No. 2 Share Posted Thursday at 02:40 PM The PAC 2 leadership took another misstep in expansion. So PACish.... Under the cover of darkness and with great stealth they stole 4 MWC teams. In a business sense they SNUBBED the remaining MWC schools. These business clowns should have invited 6 teams under the cover of darkness. Then they would have the 8 teams needed to be a league. It is rich that their stolen funds are now being used against them. Barring a rabbit out of the hat, that 8th school will either be a weak addition or a non football school like the ZAGS. The weak decisions keep coming. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PittDuck No. 3 Share Posted Thursday at 03:42 PM The weak decisions do keep coming, and adding some of these “state” institutions has got to be killing their “academic prowess” as well. It must be their academic prowess that has them convinced that a bunch of G5 schools will get reclassified as P4 schools. Don’t see that happening… 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

criticalduck No. 6 Share Posted Thursday at 05:40 PM They are blissful! And when the money runs out? It'll again be UO, UW, USC, and UCLA's fault for not making enough money for them to just throw into the firepit of mismanagement! 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CountryProf No. 8 Share Posted Thursday at 05:54 PM From what I read, the mountain West played a role in this too. PAC2 had to pay $14 million this year to schedule mountain West teams. PAC2 offered 7.5 million for the 2026 season, and the mountain west countered with 30 million. That's when the PAC2 went pillaging. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDuck No. 9 Share Posted Thursday at 06:05 PM When the Pac demanded $50 million, and Apple eventually offered $20-22M with no linear, that's when the Big12, Big Ten, and ACC went pillaging. The parties in a negotiation have to respect their own value, and neither low ball or high ball the other party or the outcome is what nobody wanted.

Charles Fischer Administrator No. 10 Share Posted Thursday at 06:19 PM I should feel disgusted with the glee, and enjoyment I am getting from this. It is a good thing I never said I was noble… Fantastic entertainment during the bye week! Their own stolen money being used against them? You can’t make this stuff up! 2 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuckFan93 No. 11 Share Posted Thursday at 06:31 PM (edited) Like I said before, MW should take the $ they (will) get from Pig2 to buy/keep teams. Now they are doing it. Love it. Both have 7 teams now, 1 short of requirement. It would be fun to see which one becomes their target and how high the bid goes. Let me make more pop corns!

Pillaging 4 teams is like throwing 5 yards short of the sticks on 4th down. That’s the best / funniest part about this! They stole less than they needed to be viable. How do you not make sure that you have 6 teams lined up before you do something like this? What a gross error in judgment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
