Charles Fischer Administrator No. 1 Share Posted yesterday at 05:53 PM Jon Canzano was writing this as well, as Texas State has to give notice to the big conference they belong to in the next two weeks for departure to the Pac-12. What conference are they coming from? Why the powerful Sun Belt conference, of course! That is who you choose from? Media contract is estimated to be between eight and twelve million a year to the "new" Pac-12, per school. Beavis would have been so much better off to remain in the old Pac-12, and taken a reduced payout to keep us retained. But they knew better! As Oregon is going to get 54 million this year and climbing from our media contract... Boy I'm glad we made the change!

DanLduck No. 4 Share Posted 22 hours ago Between 8 and 12 million? I don't believe it. Sure, it will cover several states, but gaining a tv viewership?! Really? Barely D1 schools. Don't see any teams making a football playoff. How will they afford the $20.5M athelete payroll? Pac12 indeed! (8)? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Fischer Author Administrator No. 5 Share Posted 21 hours ago Oh wow Beavis...what a conference! The bottom of audience size in the old Pac-12 with Oregon State and Washington State, but you add Utah State, Colorado State, Texas State,...etc.? Yikes. Sure, they know what they're doing... 2 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
30Duck Moderator No. 6 Share Posted 21 hours ago First, calling it the Pac-12 is wrong! But OBD is in the B1G10, and that doesn't work anymore either, so whatever. It looks like it will be competitive, should be a lot of fighting for that coveted On the CW Primetime game. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Joseph Moderator No. 7 Share Posted 19 hours ago I have an idea. After the Mountain West helps us out with our scheduling problem, we'll sue the MW instead of reverse-merging with them, steal their best teams, and lift the Pac-12 back into the Power 5. What's that, Tulane, Memphis, Grand Canyon for B-Ball, and UNLV said, 'No thanks,' and we're running out of the Real Pac-12's money, and we still don't have the eight schools that play football? Let's grab Texas State! What do you mean, Who? What, are you ignorant? You haven't heard of Boko and the Bobcats? What's that? No, I didn't say American Conference UTSA in metropolitan San Antonio (they told us to whizz off), I said, Sun Belt Conference TSU in somnambulant San Marcos. One of the best places to retire to in the great State of Texas. Don't laugh, once we get the Bobcats off of benzodiazepines, TSU will awaken to its sleeping dwarf potential! With TSU on board, we'll score $10 million in media dollars a year! Take that, traitor Ducks and Huskies! We only have to travel as far as Texas. You fools have to go all the way to Jersey. And folks are worried over college kids having too much NIL money? 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDuck No. 9 Share Posted 19 hours ago Memphis last conference distribution was $11 million. But, there is unequal distribution in the AAC, and Memphis received the most. Based on performance such as Tournament and bowl participation apparently. The distribution that year also included money from the SMU buyout when they went to the ACC. I don't think Memphis can see this as a money play. It would only be if they feel it would put them in the best Group of 6 conference with a CFP possibility. Likely football only with the other sports staying east such as the Big East for basketball. And if that happened, the Pac would still need Texas State first as an all-sports member. 4 football road games in the West also would not make an easy nut to crack to win the Pac9.

The thing is the PAC?? has to have enough teams to qualify as a conference or they will drop a load of money and there is not a long list jumping onto that broken wheeled bandwagon. That, the fact that every conference has a last place team, and more often the conference lifts up a team than a team drags down a conference make Texas State an acceptable choice. The new PAC isn't going recreate a power five but has enough quality to not be a minor conference. I doubt they'll ever be a power again but they might get to the level of a BIG12 with some luck and a lot of work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllOregon No. 14 Share Posted 14 hours ago The fact that the words, “Oregon St, Texas St., Louisiana Tech, and Tarleton St (!)” are mentioned in the same paragraph as domino fallouts of the movement is highly suggestive of how junior varsity this PAC has become. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
