There is no auto bid. The top five highest ranked conference champions get in. The champion of the new PAC with Memphis and Tulane and one of the better Texas G5 schools or UNLV will be in the playoffs every year.

Right, but more often than not the top champ is going to come from the top conference, simply because of talent, and strength of schedule.

It really just comes down to more money. If they’re going to get four or $5 million more a year, then I guess that’s it.

So this is basically the MWC with OSU and Wazzu and kicking out the bad teams and then adding some other good G5 teams and calling the conference the PAC 12. And with a couple million more a year TV contract. So it insures we are the top G5 conference every year

Yup. Arguably our two biggest OOC games in years will both most likely be on Peacock. Ugh

50/50 TG will even be on Arkansas in 2025. And I’m not talking about him heading to the NFL.

As opposed to playing in Raymond James Stadium?

Meant USF. My bad

Love how fans of two teams that don’t play in the mountain West conference hijacked this thread. Anyway, it’ll all be a moot point because UCF will probably be in the new watered down ACC within the next two years anyway.

Can somebody please explain to me the term “reverse merger“? Because that sounds like a made-up, nonsensical term. If two separate groups are combining into one, it’s a merger. The word “reverse“ means opposite, or backing up. So aren’t we just talking about a merger?

Apart from Saint Marys, and occasionally, San Francisco, the WCC is trash. Top teams deserve top competition.

Why specifically? He’s going for a separate basketball contract with foreign away the best basketball conference in the country.

That’s exactly what is proposed in the article. It is a fascinating article and worth the three minute read.

Fair enough
