  1. I just love the progression of arguments that began with: "Aztecs will never get an invite" to "The PAC will implode" to "The PAC will lose this team or that team or this group" to "The BIG has already offered Oregon/Washington" to "Yeah maybe the PAC will stay together, but the contract will be terrible" to "Yeah maybe the contract is OK but the Aztecs will get shafted" to "Yeah the contract is OK, the Aztecs will do just fine monetarily, but its all streaming and nobody will see the games" Next is the Crowfest, when none of the above takes place. It would be nice, but I don't expect to see a lot of congratulations extended by any of the chicken littles.
  2. Let's try this one more time: Oregon and Washington are not moving to the BIG (getting into a 12 team playoff is important to them) Utah loves being in the PAC (they are the reigning champs after all). The AZ schools are a package deal and nobody in the Big 12 wants ASU. Lastly there is Colorado. Nobody really cares if Colorado goes to the Big 12, but why? It is a lateral move for both the 12 and the Buffs. This notion that the PAC is falling apart (largely a product of basement bloggers who want attention) and the four corner schools are all on the ledge is nonsense, Wilner and Colzano have dubunked this with logic (something in short supply in this conversation) Let's review: The Big 12 is a lateral move for most Pac 12 schools. Oregon and Washington are not invited to the BIG. SDSU is all but in the PAC, and no G5 programs (that's you Fresno) are going to get invites to the Big 12 (there is no incentive built into the media deal to invite a G5) So can we put this "Pac 12 is falling apart" narrative to bed once and for all?
  3. Conzano also said the 50% of what he reports is BS (which half is this little tidbit?)
  4. This! With friends and supporters like you, how can we possibly go wrong?
  5. I suspect they released it to counter at least some of the wild speculation and innuendo. I think it establishes their position as a solid negotiating block with everyone pulling from the same end of the rope. Perhaps this was aimed more at any nervous media negotiators, and not at message board posters.
  6. This article amounts to nothing less than a valentine card to the university. I doubt they could have done any better with a paid PR hack. It either a fluff piece or prediction of things to come. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/with-a-sparkling-stadium-and-surging-program-san-diego-state-makes-an-easy-case-for-pac-12-expansion/
  7. e-zone99 is absolutely spot on here. Huge amount of talent leaves San Diego for places like Pullman, Salt Lake, Tucson, Corvallis etc...Reason? Simply because they want to play in the PAC 12. We see it in interviews all of the time. If you look at TCU and Utah, think about how much easier it will be for the Aztecs to upgrade recruiting, and that was before you could re-load in one year with the portal. I give it 5 years and the Red & Black will be top tier PAC and nationally relevant.
  8. Maybe not "easier" in the sense that the PAC is easy. I think what they mean is that the road is less arduous than playing Mich/Penn St/Mich St/ Ohio St etc....In the PAC Oregon may have only two or three really challenging games (fewer now without UCLA and SC) to win. All would be a comfortable distance, and in mostly the same time zone. Winning 10 or 11 games would be easier in the PAC than the BIG IMO
  9. For those who a promulgating the theory that Oregon, Udub, Stamford etc...Are just moments away form joining the BIG, there are more than a few PAC 12 insiders who suggest that with the expanded playoffs, it serves these institutions better to stay put and take a much easier path to qualifying for one of the 12 spots. I would think that a potential for a NATY would be a very strong incentive for a program like Oregon.
  10. And.....Where there's smoke there's fire. I am not sure it is so much a matter of IF, as it is of WHEN and WHICH P-5 conference. www.johncanzano.com/p/canzano-ucla-and-pac-12-living-in?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email If UCLA stays in the Pac-12, San Diego State emerges as the most likely candidate to replace the divot left by USC’s departure. The Aztecs have been in a slow dance with the Pac-12. San Diego State would add 1.1 million TV households to the equation. If UCLA leaves for the Big Ten, San Diego State becomes even more important. But I anticipate there could be at least one other expansion partner seriously considered. UNLV? SMU? Boise State? Gonzaga in multiple sports? Some other prospective member currently in a Power Five Conference?
  11. Q: Given Brett Yormark’s statement about wanting to play games in the Pacific time zone, do you think the Pac-12 should be concerned about the Big 12 scooping up San Diego State and other options? — @akh_blog A: San Diego State gets a vote in this, too. Maybe the most important one. I did some poking around. The Aztecs may use the Big 12 as leverage, but I came away from my conversations with key sources thinking that SDSU covets Pac-12 membership. All things being equal, I’m told, San Diego State would like to be in the Pac-12. John Costanzo on his PAC 12 Blog last week
