Conference Realignment

[PHXCATS]

No. They hit in Football and extra travel for all other sports does not make up for the benefit of basketball

Strange watching TCU vs Stanford last night. I always root for teams in our conference. Had to keep reminding myself

Not surprised with UCONN. Not sure the math works out. UCONN certainly adds value for both men's and women's basketball. But the rest of their athletic department leaves plenty to be desired, and they add travel costs to a good portion of the conference which is centered around the state of Texas.

I think the ACC would be perfect for the Pac 2. Cal and Stanford would finally have some schools they could more easily travel to as well.

[wyo-cat]

Excuse my French, but the PAC 2 can fuck all the way off.

I’m sick of their fans.

Pac needs two more schools to become an FBS conference again.

[Merkin]

I like it. I imagine Cal and Stanford would prefer to be back, but no idea what their costs would be.

PAC must still have bank.

MWC will receive a total of $111 million in exit fees.

UNLV must be like WTF did we do to you?

[Merkin]

At least the PAC's very long reputation as academic snobs is no more.

They need at least two more to be recognized as a conference - I expect UNLV is high on their shopping list!!

[azcat49]

UNLV is a must take and if they can get a Bay Area and LA presence they would have a lot of momentum going forward.

Can’t think of any football programs in those areas (Sac St and maybe revive Long Beach St).

[Merkin]

SJSU is certainly Bay Area.

And PAC, quit calling it: California State University Fresno. Sure, legally that's the name but it's Fresno State.

California Polytechnic State University San Luis Obispo is legally the name, but it's Cal Poly. FCS though, same with UC Davis.

[Chicat]

Just realized that the PAC6 are all “____ State”.

UNLV needs to become Las Vegas State. Time for a rebrand!

[azcat49]

Ah Merkin, you are right. They should grab them and then Vegas and some kind of an LA presence and add a few more.

Of course if the go the STATE route like Chi suggests, they could be the Great State 8 conference

Is it too late for them to take ASu back?

[CalStateTempe]

I’d rather be in truck stop conference than the state school conference

[azcat49]

Add Texas St, Utah St, San Jose St and have UNLV rebrand as Nevada St and Chi is a happy man. PAC 10 is back baby!

What about Chico State?! I’ll contribute to their NIL in a big way if they rebrand as Chicat State.

I was thinking of Nevada and New Mexico as possible choices.

If the PAC-12 take anymore MW teams it will cost them an additional $56M.
