  1. I'm sure there are good stuff in the pipeline for SDSU. Within the Pac-12, I think the argument that the California Four schools have for keeping SDSU out is becoming harder for them to sustain and once that new football stadium is open for five years, the non-CA Pac-12 schools will be looking at the California Four and wondering what the heck they were thinking. More exposure to their alumni in CA is a big deal for those non-CA Pac-12 schools.
  2. Depends on if the NCAA keeps that 15,000 minimum attendance rule going forward after the coming changes to the NCAA.
  3. Not happening. It's just the faculty throwing a hissy fit over a planned renovation to the football stadium that would remove the running tracks along with a shiny new red turf playing field.
  4. It will still depend on if the MWC can offer more $$$ even after those two leave but I would think they remain in the WCC after all.
  5. If the $$$ is greater on the other side of the fence.
  6. After AFA & CSU leave the MWC, there will be nine basketball members and adding Gonzaga will be a huge overall upgrade for basketball. Them staying in the WCC would be a surprise at this point.
  7. This is what I think the MWC needs to be doing. Getting rid of AFA is going to help the basketball perception of the MWC quite a bit and if the MWC adds Gonzaga...
  8. Easy to say because SDSU never has been a tier 1 research school.
  9. CA isn't the only state to do it to the "state" schools. Colorado's law school is at CU, Kansas' law school is at KU, Oklahoma's law school is at OU, and Texas' law school is at UT. Same for the other Pac-12 states. As for the vet school, it appears that UC Davis is the state's vet school. States are not going to fund multiple vet schools in the same state. Same for medical schools and the flagship schools in pretty much every state have the medical schools. None of those issues you raised have any bearing on P5 conference membership standards. All you need to do for the most case is be in a large metropolitan area, be a tier 1 research school, and have the athletic budget to compete which right now I'd say close to $70M without the large media deals factored in.
  10. Those four Cali schools in the PAC has been able to keep a school like SDSU out for years solely because SDSU isn't up to par when it comes to research rankings and probably never has been which appears to be something that will change sooner than later. If the Pac-12 judged on academics, you should be asking why ASU is in the conference after all. It's their tier 1 research that has them in the Pac-12 nothing else. If the Cali schools still don't want SDSU in the conference, the Big 12 would be happy to take the Aztecs down the road. If you look at the list of tier 1 colleges that are not in P5 conferences, it's getting smaller.
  11. The P5 conferences aren't interested in those academic rankings...more like whether you are a tier 1 research school or not. SDSU is not that (yet) while those Pac-12 schools plus CSU are tier 1 schools.
  12. Both CU & CSU are getting more students from back east. I can see why CSU is looking eastward in this case.
  13. Laramie & Logan would be considered rural in this case.
  14. None of those WAC Texas schools fit the MWC school profile. They are in more rural areas as opposed to urban areas like the MWC & Pac-12 schools are located in. Think the WAC being the west's version of the Sun Belt Conference.
