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

Re: Conference Realignment
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.
Re: Conference Realignment
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.

Re: Conference Realignment
Excuse my French, but the PAC 2 can fuck all the way off.
I’m sick of their fans.

Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?
Re: Conference Realignment
Pac needs two more schools to become an FBS conference again.

Re: Conference Realignment
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?

Re: Conference Realignment
At least the PAC's very long reputation as academic snobs is no more.
Re: Conference Realignment
They need at least two more to be recognized as a conference - I expect UNLV is high on their shopping list!!

Re: Conference Realignment
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).

Re: Conference Realignment
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.

Re: Conference Realignment
Just realized that the PAC6 are all “____ State”.
UNLV needs to become Las Vegas State. Time for a rebrand!

Re: Conference Realignment
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

I’d rather be in truck stop conference than the state school conference
Re: Conference Realignment
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!

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

Re: Conference Realignment
How long will this crap go on? We’re now at the point where second tier conferences are able to drive major headlines just by calling Overpass State or Subdivision U to gauge their interest. Maybe when it all converges to a single conference housing all 133 teams?
