  1. The FSU & ACC lawsuits will likely drag on for a long, long time such that the PAC2 will likely have to make conference member decisions before it is resolved.
  2. "We'll see if the Bruins will have to worry about Grene when the time comes. If he is not available, the Broncos could see punter James Ferguson-Reynolds or wide receiver Chase Penry, as they are the only Broncos on the roster who could play quarterback." Read more at: https://www.idahostatesman.com/sports/college/article282810158.html#storylink=cpy This is an impending disaster on national TV :(
  3. This really sucks to have a rookie debut in a bowl vs UCLA...sad :(
  4. this is an unmitigated disaster....I dont blame the players wanting money especially when the coaches and schools are getting gobs but college athletic teams are not privately owned sports teams, particularly for public schools so the less wealthy programs, conferences etc getting screwed. The divide between the haves and have-nots has widened beyond belief. Sad...very sad :(
  5. Video evidence or not the players have made it clear they want him.....its done.....best wishes in LA and beyond...go Broncos!!!
  6. oh I misread your post...i understand your point now.
  7. Frankly, I think early is best for everyone...players, coaches and fans!!!
  8. Andy's Dad Phil talking smack....its tremendously embarrassing for Andy IMO :(
  9. This may sound crazy...maybe it is.....BUT any peeps here wanna pool $ for a game stadium box.....starting at $300 per person with 8 people.....if we're gonna let's do it up right, right!!! If interested msg me directly. Only "Heck Yeah" inquirers only, please!. We can do a group zoom within 24 - 48 hours to review options etc etc. https://sofistadiumsuites.com/events/LA-Bowl-85423/
  10. ole Boo-Boo Corrigan is with NC State....ACC/FSU was already skating on thin ice.....this will break it for sure
  11. So the Amercian trophy is on national tv but not MWC :( Looks Liberty will represent the G5.
  12. Smashing Win....way to go.....hats off to UNLV for their sportsmanship and effort
  13. Blue on green looks so much better on TV I must admit
  14. A couple of weeks ago, the signs were for a financial penalty if a raid occurred, then earlier this week was reported the alliance was to lead to an aspirational merger with no penalty. Today silence on the subject...maybe the aspirational goal is still there???? One item I havent read much about are the PAC bowl slots. Are # of bowls being reduced cuz of the expanded playoff? Certainly, there will be fewer bowl teams than now. More chances for G5.5s to play P4s in bowls perhaps????? I personally would love to see PAC2 + MWC 12 + say Tulane & Memphis in a two 8-team conference set up of PAC & MWC with promotion/relegation. I doubt it will happen.
  15. Your scenario may happen. They definitely get a lifeline for 2024. The article says there is an option to extend to 2025....not guaranteed. Will be interesting to see how it plays out!
  16. Remember Marlene Tromp filed a suit when MWC tried to end their special deal. These prez are not playing nice behind the scenes as we've seen. Conf realignment is cutthroat. Eat or be eaten. Each institution or a few together (Airport mtg) do what's in their best interest. Before Oklahoma wouldnt go anywhere without OSU....really????? UO and OSU and UW and WSU are fighting each other like hell. Smell the coffee bro.
  17. what makes you think the conference is really united behind the curtain???? Maybe the top tier wants to leave CSU, UNM, USU, UH SJSU in the dust. Im telling you Gloria didnt have as much leverage as you think. She got a fig leaf agreement that we wont raid you down the road lol. The upper and lower tiers of the conference can live with this.
  18. Gloria was feeling heat from within, guaranteed! The top tier of the MWC, six or 7 most likely to be invited to the PAC by a raid, BSU, Fresno, UNLV et al could have done indv scheduling alliances apart from the conference. They'd cancel a non-conf game(s) to schedule with OSU and/or WSU. Im sure she factored that in. How would it look if she was undercut by some of her own university members? She basically kicked the can down the field for a year or two and kept her league looking united for now.
  19. First of all, Im sure Gloria has the votes. Second, consider that the top tier of the MWC, six or 7 most likely to be invited to the PAC by a raid, BSU, Fresno, UNLV et al could have done indv scheduling alliances apart from the conference. Im sure that Gloria factored that in so she wasnt holding all the cards either!!!
  20. They may have fallen off but they are still getting the slot.....UNFORTUNATELY....people looking at the top
  21. for the good of the MWC we desperately need to snag the future playoff spot.... we've been shut out of the G5 access spot for all but the first year. The AAC has eaten our lunch...lets face it :(
