  1. why? I mean they need some tv money for at least for the 24/25 season and probably 25/26. Guessing they drag this out the full two years as they will make more money being the pac-2 (probably mostly with NCAAT credits) than they will make once they merge with the MW.
  2. I mean the only other actually option is to take enough schools (what 9) from the MW to dissolve itself. BUT that could open up another round of lawsuits from the MW schools that are left behind and forced to join the CUSA. I get my school (Fresno) would make the top 9 cut BUT at this point I am hoping the Pac-2 just adds all 12 MW schools and Gonzaga as a basketball only (evens out having Hawaii as football only). Would still be a slight step up from the current MW in terms of competition and tv money. Plus we can get rid of the terrible BSU deal. I am fine with an "uneven" tv deal but it should be based off performance not name and it should be subject to changed based off future performance.
  3. Yeah I don't get Dan Hurley's complaining. UCONN has a very favorable path to the final four. As they should since they are the #1 overall seed. Also don't like his garbage about how the Big East should have go the bids over the MW. Guess what the Big East is 6-0 when they have been the higher seed in the tourney. The MW is 3-0 as the higher seed, 1-1 as the same seed, and 0-4 as the lower seed. So from that angle (at least in terms of how the NCAA seeded us) the MW has done as exactly as expected. So honestly the NCAA was right (ie giving us 6 bids but worse seeds that we expected).
  4. This is a house money game tho. I mean even if SDSU loses by 30 it won't really be that horrible (UCONN has dominated several teams in this years and last years NCAAT). Now our other blowout loses in the tourney were pretty bad. I mean don't get me wrong wasn't expecting USU to beat Purdue but what expecting them to at least keep it somewhat close then have Purdue separate the last 10 minutes or so. I would agree this years SDSU team seems worse than last years team, this UCONN team seems better than last years teams, and UCONN is basically playing a home game. So none of that is too great... But yeah go SDSU and hopefully some magic happens.
  5. I can see you are not an Arizona fan. I swear Ballo has 10 air ball free throws just in the 20 Arizona games I have watched this year lol.
  6. The real surprise to me was how CSU dominated Virginia in the paint. As Virginia is the "defensive" team I didn't expect that level of domination. I mean the more traditional way for a blowout would have be Virginia having a terrible offensive game (which did happen) and CSU getting hot from the 3pt range.
  7. No. I mean unless them become an absolute bottom feeder for like 15+ years I don't think it should even be in question. You should be the best conference you can get into. Plus the AAC has taken a step down basketball wise losing Houston/Cincy/UCF/SMU and replacing them with "lesser" basketball schools. To me the same would go for Gonzaga if they join the MW (ie soon to be Pac-12). Even if in 10 years they all the sudden are a middle of the pack at best basketball school I would still say they should stay in the best conference they can make and not "downgrade" back to the WCC.
  8. So with just the mwt left we are basically in the same. 4 is bare minimum, 5 is the goal, 6 would be a dream. But now we also have the super dream of 7 bids. Just need csu to lose to NM in the semis and NM to lose to unlv in the finals. That would almost certainly get us 7 bids.
  9. Since my team is absolutely horrible I am purely voting for the outcome that will help us get the most tourney teams. So go New Mexico!
  10. My dream would be football being separate in all cases. Top 40 schools break off to create a NFL lite. Top recruits go to these schools and unfortunately probably a lot of the best players from the lower division transfer up. Have 4 ten team conferences. Play your 9 conference games plus 2 OOC (must be vs one of the other "top 40" schools). Get rid of conference champ game. Have a 16 team playoff completed played out (ie there will be a game between two 0-3 teams for 15th place) with all games at the higher seed with the exception of the semis and finals and a neutral site. This gives 16 out of 40 schools a total of 15 games. The 24 that get left out can have a "bowl game" to get them to a total of 12 games. The 96 fbs teams left add the top 24 fcs schools. Have 12 ten team conferences. Similar format with 9 conference games, 2 OOC, and a 16 team playoff. 12 conference champs and 4 at large bids. Completely play out the 16 team playoff if there is any money to be had (I get this division would make way less than the top division but I still think there would be some tv money there). Maybe have 10 bowl games so the top 30% of the division ends up making a postseason game. 30% is a far more healthy number than the current system where 64% of fbs teams make the postseason.
  11. Bare minimum should be 4 bids, 5 would be a good goal, and 6 would be a dream. I am just hoping the top 6 sweep the bottom 5 the rest of the regular season. And yes sorry UNLV cause I know you are way better than the bottom 4 BUT the only way you are making the NCAAT is by winning the MWT so each time you beat a top 6 school that is hurting the MW.
  12. Honestly I would throw Fresno in with the AF/SJSU crowd. I get Fresno is the best of those 3 (they are 4-0 vs AF/SJSU) BUT Fresno has only beat the bottom feeders. The only other team that only has win(s) vs bottom feeders is SJSU. Even AF one win came over UNLV. WY beat Nevada and Colorado State at home. It does appear pretty certain that the 8/9 game is going to be WY/Fresno though.
  13. 49ers fan BUT I am actually a rational fan when it comes to the pros. Sure I was voting for them but I am already over the loss. Now college sports are where I am still irrational and let the outcome affect my real life sometimes lol.
  14. Yeah I almost moved to Boise 4 years ago. Ended up moving to a different location 2 years ago instead which in the end work out for me. But one benefit if I would have taken the BSU job 4 years ago is I would have gotten in before the housing boom was completed and I would have locked in all time low interest rates. Instead in my new location I ended up close to the top of the housing boom (thankfully the prices haven't dropped yet but I am fully expecting a 20-30% drop eventually) and great but not all time historic interest rates. Boise will only become affordable again if Californians no longer want to move there. In my case I was making 30% more for doing the same exact job in California that I am doing in my current location. Sure a lot of that gets eaten up by taxes and cost of living but it doesn't all get eaten up. Plus in my case I refused to pay ridiculous rent so although I did end up staying in pretty nice areas I was living in a shoeboxes (bachelors) to keep the cost down. For that decade plus I was saving extra money and putting it in the market (which also had a very good run). So at the end of the day my down payment was a lot larger than a local in my new location working the same job would have. Thus far easier for me to accept the inflated prices. And this process will go on and on as long as there are people fleeing HCOL areas. Which there always will be it is just a question of which cities they decide to go to.
  15. Yes bsu is in a better spot qb wise than they were a couple of days ago. But I won't call this a home run. He was the 3rd string qb at usc and if he does happen to be great he will transfer to a bigger school. As a Fresno fan I am 100% envious of bsu ol and rb group but I am not shaking in my boots abt their qb group. And again obviously this is good news for bsu I just won't say it is an automatic home run.
