Haven't followed it very closely because it doesn't mean anything to me. Oregon State was gutted after last season and were supposed to be worse than they are which is saying a lot and Fresno is stinking it up without Tedford. All that matters is to win your conference and get to the playoffs. The MWC will have the same chance they do this year in 26 if the rules stay the same. Then there's a real pissing match between Pac and MWC. It's meh now.

I love these posts. Your bitterness is showing and laughs will be harder to come by for you when the new deal for the MWC is inked. Think CUSA. The PAC isn't thinking huge dollars, just more than the MWC could deliver. UNLV would love to have been in a solvent position when the PAC offered. But too bad for you, your AD was swimming in debt and needed the special Gloria payday to stay afloat. Lack of long range planning is your demise. Enjoy the 'huge' win over the hapless Beavs.

Isn't this cute. Technically correct though because Boise beat Wazzu and we're in the MWC for a while longer. It's the PAC2 and there's one decent team there and the rebels don't play them. Woof on.

Church schools hide their money because they can. No way to compete on an even scale with them or Notre Dame, when the church decides to go all out for sports.

Unlv & AFA will receive a 25-30 million dollar bonus

In both major sports. Be the big fish -
That's what the media is saying today. The PAC is now talking with media partners about value with Memphis alone or Memphis +1 (and all other scenarios that might be in play). If those numbers are decent then Memphis is added and either they're done or they add one more like UTSA or Tulane according to the stories. If the media comes back with low #'s then Tx St may well be called. At that point it's just 8 football teams. But it's hard to see Gonzaga just jumping without some forward knowledge we don't have. Memphis would sure entire Gonzaga and vice versa. Could be several weeks before anything solid comes out.

They need both an 8th football playing member and they need teams that move the needle for media negotiations. Hoops is a far second to football but Gonzaga is a top hoops property in all timezones. It helps. And their add could help with whoever they go after for the 8th football member.
-
Ok. To each his own. PAC adds Gonzaga today. You can bow to AF and Tark's Rebels.

Gonzaga to the PAC is happening today.

They're paying you and Air Force, the new overlords. The rest of your conference mates get scraps. After years of bitching about Boise State getting extra. Lol

on the field of play; 75% of the NCAA appearances and all but 1 or 2 conference football titles are leaving. TV negotiations will be scary for the MWC next round.

If I interpret what they're saying it's 'investment' within the AD. No one has a better football facility; it's one of the NFL's best. It's not a gem of the UNLV AD, it's a gift. Basketball facilities built for Tark...what since? Investment by the AD.
-
You have no idea UNLV was ever offered a spot, let alone 'why they said no'. More reasonable folk suggest a few potential reasons why UNLV is currently sitting in a dead man walking conference. But the mantra for the PAC6 is 'like minded AD's'. As in been investing big time in long term facilities upgrades. UNLV backed into a pro stadium that they'll never fill of course but it doesn't speak to their commitment which has lacked in a big way. I hope they're the 9th team added and if Memphis joins then their basketball focus will want them in the PAC.

I'm not sure about that. Memphis is better than UNM/UNLV combined for national attention IMO. And hearing that Gonzaga may still be a possibility. OSU's AD made a comment saying it was schools with football only. Others have said that is true for the next 3 schools added but not an absolute.
