If we get Oregon State that would be 3 MW teams in the top ten. Elite!

What a messy piece of crap that would be. That ain't no p5 any way you slice it. the MW and the AAC the way they currently are make so much more sense. All this to keep 2 or 3 teams from being all butt hurt.

Washington St and Oregon St aren't going to do anything until they see what Stanford and California do. If California and Standford decide to stay in Pac and reform they will be coming after teams from MWC and probably AAC to backfill, which then MWC and AAC will have to back fill as well. Yes MWC is going to look different in the coming years
How many mw teams will pay the 34 million to get out of here? Or, how many teams from the MW can the PAC buy at 34 big ones each.
The MW be like...

Who gives a shit about what Cal and Stanford do? They are not in our picture.
As for WSU and OSU? The conference won't be a whole lot different with our without them. This whole thing is a nothing burger for the MW any way you slice it.

Yes SDSU is scum rn, but we'd all be scum if we were in their shoes. If Wyo, or UNLV, or CSU, whomever...was on the doorstep of p5 status, they'd be looking to get over the hump any way possible.

The elementary school that I went to in the early 70’s was on the edge of the bombing range, and I used to swing on my favorite swing set and watch the fighter jets fly around and bomb stuff. The swing set is still there…..I dropped the red tag there. The trees weren’t there back then to block my view. A lot of Top Gun Maverick was filmed out there.
This explains so much.

Yup because like you said its the arenas and stadiums that interest them not UNLV, UNLV has nothing to play with here they got nothing sorry
UNLV's best card to play is media market potential. If, if, if, unlv football could somehow get going there's money to be made and people still have hope the basketball team can be good again. Their hearts are broken right now but it's still there, simmering.
LV will be 3 million by 2030 or so.

UNLV fan advocates for booting Nevada on the grounds Nevada hasn’t done shit since joining the conference.
Obviously that guy is dumb, but neither unlv nor unr are going anywhere based on performance. No one "deserves" anything. It's mainly about brand value and how that relates to viewership.
As an aside, I could see Las Vegas and Allegiant Stadium working against unlv in a way. The Pac likes using LV as a neutral site.

What the current makeup of college football has taught me:
1. Geography does not matter
2. Rivalries do not matter
3. Academics do not matter
4. Endowment does not matter
5. On field success only barely matters
6. Sports outside of football do not matter.
I have yet to figure out what truly matters. It seems to be some combo of TV market, facilities and "who you know."
Viewership.

Yoda's dumb ass couldn't even figure out that Palpatine was the Sith Lord. I don't have any confidence in his clairvoyance.
Wait wut? It's not jar jar???

I don't know, my man... Yoda said they had a 50% chance in this scenario... 50% is pretty solid! coin flip!
On a serious note, what I think will happen is soon, everyone is going to realize, that this conference structure only has to exist for football... and then let all other sports exist in the previous conference set up.
It simply makes too much economic sense to do that... I am not sure why they didn't already do it that way.
My man knows the future. What's going on now is not market efficient in any way. It's dumb.

Like I have said numerous times on this thread, SJSU and UNR are the clear two full members that would be in jeopardy.
On 8/5/2023 at 6:12 PM, BSUTOP25 said:UNR in more jeopardy than Wyoming? I wouldn’t think so.
On 8/5/2023 at 6:14 PM, SalinasSpartan said:Per the article it says SJSU, Reno, and Hawaii. But it also says a full merger is more likely.
Love that you guys are calling them unr. Keep up the Lord's work, my friends.

I can see us absorbing wsu and osu. Cal and Stanford find other homes or go indy. Easy and feels about right.

I see that bluerules guy was posting in this thread. He was on Hicks short-lived forum for a spell. I know these forums have had a major secular decline (the BTB has very few posters in off season now), but I wonder how many didn't survive fully intact through the pandemic? One well known poster, whom I found hilarious, went radio silent during the Delta wave peak in Boise. I've always wondered, and then there is just regular aging out. I'll probably stop posting in a few years to avoid the old fool syndrome.

It's a TV show. That's all you need to take about. What teams increase viewership?

In a 12-team system, automatic bids would go to six highest-ranked conference champions, plus the six highest-ranked other teams as determined by the College Football Playoff selection committee. The other six spots would be filled by at-large teams.Jun 18, 2021
So if this is the case...This could help the MW.
If the B12 implodes..One less conference..If they poach the AAC of their top schools that really improves the chances of the MW champ in the top 6.
Whatever happens with all this, they will surely change the rules regarding playoff entrants. A crap ass MW isn't going to benefit.

Is this fun? Does this kind of stuff make CFB better? I say no. We want to root for the school we went to and root against our rivals. That's what makes college sports fun. Regionality. It's OUR's. This money grab, nationalization, politics, mercenary, quasi-pro, corporatization stuff is a turn-off.
College football and basketball has really become an unlikable monster. I'm kinda sad about it.

I am going to laugh my ass off if the extortion attempt by David McGee (DOJ official) is real.
You guys are going to look so stupid as you usually do when you judge occurrences based only on your hopeless partisan bias.
Gaetz said the FBI gave his dad a wire when he met with McGee. Gaetz better be right about this guy, or he’s going to get the mother of all defamation suits filed against him.
This is him, the guy that’s being investigated for extortion on Gaetz and his family. Bizarre stuff. I’m still waiting to see what Q says about all this.
Why?
