Maybe Regis needs to bring back football.If Utah State joins the PAC, I think that leaves both conferences at seven.

CU has rejoined the Big 12 and broken college football - talking out asses continues
- Thread starter InTheBuff
- Start date
The RMAC is right there for the taking.Meet the new Pac-12 - managing the conference as well as the old Pac-12.
Of course they fvcked up. Oregon State was behind a lot of the mismanagement problems and was a diehard supporter of Larry Scott and his vision until the bitter end.
Next move Texas State?

MWC has viable options to top up, PAC doesn't
One thing that works in their favor is that it's easy travel to games in ABQ compared to a lot of other options. With all the non-revenue sports to consider and the need to be frugal on a 3rd tier media deal, that might matter.
Yeah I have been to ABQ multiple times in my life. The UNM athletic facilities are pretty close to the airport.

UNLV and AFA are both staying.
Just imagine CU being in the Pac-3 and CSU joins...this board would melt down.
Yeah, thank God we have Cincy and UCF
Plans for new Sacramento State stadium revealed
The 'SAC 12' revealed plans for a new Sacramento State football stadium and much more this week. Is it possible?

Sacramento State to the MWC or PAC?
NCAA Division I - Wikipedia
FBS conferences must meet a more stringent set of requirements for NCAA recognition than other conferences:[13]
- A total of at least eight active FBS members.
- To be counted toward this total, a school must participate in conference play in at least six men's and eight women's sports, including men's and women's basketball, football, and at least two other women's team sports.
- Each school may count one men's and one women's sport not sponsored by its primary conference toward the above limits, as long as that sport competes in another Division I conference. The men's and women's sports so counted need not be the same sport.[14]

Yeah I'd much rather be where we are right now than in their shoes.
Brilliant mismanagement by the rodent and cougar ADs.
Thought I saw AFA got $10m from the MWC to stay put. Dumbass Rammies.

This is so bad. How the MWC and Pac 12 don’t just figure out a workable merger is insane.
They could have, but we are seeing how quickly attitudes change (OSU & WSU) when it is other schools which have negative value toward everyone else's media revenue share.
Wow.
Talk about retaining moral superiority.
"We signed. No one else did. We're going elsewhere."
Also, this reinforces something I've known for a while: personal relationships and trust often trump otherwise "objective" business decisions.
AFA and UNLV ADs obviously trust each other, and their universities trust them.
Someone knows what the right decision is, but is feeling bad because they're going to look like an idot for their earlier stance, and their buddy is gonna be pissed at them.

Talk about unlikely partners in this world, the Air Force Academy and University of Nevada-Las Vegas. Love it.
Fighter pilots and strippers unite. Now again, I lived in Colorado Springs a couple years, so I have seen this confederacy before.
Chew on that towel, Jerry Tarkanian fans.

There's politics to be considered. The president of the NV Board of Regents already said that UNLV and UNR isn't a package deal but the current governor is an UNLV alum and a former & respected governor is a UNR alum so we shall see how that goes. TBH, UNR doesn't have the necessary resources to compete in the PAC. They still haven't built a new indoor practice facility and still have a running track at their football stadium.
The new PAC 12 is like the guy all decked out in Ferrari gear that drives a Fiero.

I'm a ****ty troll
UNR could make some geographical sense. As of now they are No-Cal/NW based, except for CSU and SDSU they are NO-Cal/NW based. Vegas is a tough market to turn down for a number of reasons. Historically, UNR was the more established school in Nevada. Until the last 10 years, it had the only medical school, engineering, and legal (School for Judges) options. Now UNLV has both grad schools, but still does not offer engineering. The one thing with UNLV is since Tark left, not great athletic support, Vegas will now they will have 3 new professional sports teams and maybe sports saturation?
MWC might need to see about adding back New Mexico State + another (Cal-Davis, Sac-St? move up). Looks like Air Force committed to MWC ($10M bonus), however they could bolt for the AAC to be with Army and Navy, if it falls apart.
I wonder if the PAC stands stops at 8? Perhaps, they wait to see how Cal and Stanford fit in the ACC. In football, they have been competitive. The other sports entail a bunch of travel, and higher overall costs could an the issue down the line. I sort of see the 4 teams to the B1G as goners for near future, given the huge about of $$ to off-set the other sports travel costs.
