  1. Kind of. They had announced their plan to leave the MWC and join the Big East. Then, when the Big 12 came calling, they cut out on the Big East without ever having played there. Pretty sure they even had to pay some exit fees to the Big East.
  2. I'm probably not going to read through the last forty pages of this thread. So sorry if this has already been addressed, but I guess I was unaware that there are good UNLV fans on this board.
  3. Those conferences are not below NDSU. They're just to the south. It's a common misinterpretation that north is up and south is down.
  4. Since Gary Barnett's last season in 2005, Colorado has only been ranked in the AP top 25 in three different seasons (2016, 2018, 2020). Stanford was ranked in the AP poll every season between 2009-2019, accounting for 120 of their 303 total weeks ranked in the AP top 25. Prior to 2009, Colorado held an advantage over Stanford of 293-183 in weeks ranked in the AP poll. Colorado and Stanford have played each other 12 times in their history, each winning 6 games. Colorado has won the last three consecutive matchups.
  5. Weeks ranked in AP poll according to Winsipedia (New Big 12 + Stanford): West Virginia (306) Colorado (305) Stanford (303) Arizona State (291) Oklahoma State (282) BYU (266) TCU (254) Kansas State (230) Baylor (226) Houston (203) Arizona (169) Utah (162) Texas Tech (141) Kansas (111) Cincinnati (97) Iowa State (70) UCF (54) Stanford is so bad, they trail not only West Virginia in weeks in the AP poll, they're also behind Colorado, who I've been led to believe is terrible. Or maybe weeks in the AP poll isn't the best measure of the strength of a football program.
  6. Good point. I guess that rules out anyone else joining the AAC.
  7. Is this a schtick, or are you really this clueless about university naming conventions?
  8. That's what has been reported. Washington/Oregon get a half share each through the end of this new contract and a full share each after that. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/oregon-washington-join-big-ten-programs-depart-pac-12-in-2024-after-serving-as-charter-members-since-1915/ https://www.si.com/college/washington/football/washington-and-oregon-officially-join-big-ten
  9. Only 7 total FBS wins in the last 14ish seasons? Who do you think you are, UNLV?
  10. True hippies wouldn't sell any drugs - they'd contribute them to the communal stash.
  11. Not asking for anything to be dumbed down. You made a claim about the highest-rated recruit ever signed by a MW team. I thought of a possible exception. @halfmanhalfbronco researched it and corroborated my recollection. What's the problem? Olson being highly-rated (and of no on-field benefit to BYU) takes nothing away from Gatlin. Maybe I really am missing your point. For being as smart as they are, Stanford sure makes some silly decisions sometimes: https://archive.sltrib.com/article.php?id=54836737&itype=CMSID
  12. True. I just didn't want to draw out all thr different possibilities.
  13. I think it would be tough to win any damages. If the conference intended to prevent damage to any member by conference dissolution, it would have put the threshold for voting for dissolution at 100%.
  14. I was just addressing the claim of the highest rated recruit in MWC history. I wouldn't expect you to know about everyone (especially those who never played in the conference) recruited before Boise State was a member.
  15. Reportedly, the ESPN contract only requires pro-rata increases for the first 4 P5 additions. And ESPN has apparently requested that the Big 12 only add 2. The Fox contract is silent on pro-rata increases but Fox apparently agreed to pro-rata increases for 2 additions (Colorado and, presumably, Arizona). On the 365 Sports show, when they were about to interview McMurphy, they discussed and displayed the tier system that the Big 12 developed as to which PAC teams they valued the highest: Tier 1: Arizona, Oregon, Washington Tier 2: Arizona State, Colorado Tier 3: Stanford, Utah The remaining PAC schools (California, Oregon State, Washington State) didn't even make it into a tier. Big 12 doesn't want them. I was asking similar questions earlier, which I think have been partially answered by the B1G seemingly dropping Stanford and Cal from consideration, and ESPN and Fox telling the Big 12 not to add more than 2 PAC teams. The media partners seem to be saying that Cal, Stanford, OSU, and WSU have much lower media value than the top teams in the league, which is probably not particularly surprising to anyone paying attention.
  16. The people at the University of Utah are not normal, regular idiots. The name might not matter much, but the form of the deal could make a huge difference - in media dollars, NCAA tournament credits, bowl and other contracts, and in membership. Here are just four possibilities with very disparate results: MWC adds PAC leftovers for 2024: No exit fees are paid to anyone, the MWC contracts and NCAA credits survive, PAC contracts (media, bowl games, etc.) are terminated and NCAA credits revert to the school that earned the credits. MWC media contract can likely be modified to account for new additions. PAC adds various MWC schools for 2024: Selected schools owe $34 million-ish each to MWC and MWC retains any NCAA credits earned by departing teams while they were members. Both conferences' contracts survive but media deals for both will need to be adjusted. PAC and MWC merge for 2024: No exit fees owed, merged entity retains all NCAA credits from both conferences, contracts with outside parties remain intact, media deal will need to be adjusted. 9 MWC schools vote to dissolve MWC then join PAC: No exit fees owed, MWC NCAA credits revert to teams that earned the credits, MWC contracts terminated, PAC contracts remain, PAC media contract has to be adjusted, 3 leftout MWC schools need to find new conference(s).
  17. How high was Ben Olson rated when he signed with BYU? My recollection is that he was the top-rated QB that season. Top-rated recruits have never seemed to work out that great for BYU.
  18. The whisperings of the Spirit.
