Someone Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 1 hour ago, wolf from 73 said: Not saying that this merger would be Pac-12 or B-12 but a completely new conference with the remaining schools. the issue with that is a new conference does not get NCAA auto bids for a number of years a new conference would not have a claim to the larger P5 level football playoff shares a new conference wold not have "autonomy" at the NCAA with the 2 votes instead of one.....that two votes is in place by "conference name" IE Big 12, PAC 12....there is nothing now that suggest the Big 12 will not keep those two votes....if a new conference was formed there is little chance it would get those 2 votes I am not sure what would happen to any earned NCAA credits with a new conference, but that could be an issue too Quote YOU WANT TRADITION?

Nor, for that matter, were either of the Arizona schools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than "market domination" (apologies to CSU's Denver fan base, all 4 of them) I'd agree - needle mover might have been fresh markets that weren't PAC previously.........not sure one can say that about SD & LV which probably already have lots of PAC fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebelcuff Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 2 hours ago, RebelRobert said: BYU tried to destroy the MWC but UNLV stopped them! BYU is incompetent and the MWC saviors UNLV who are original members from 22 years ago saved the Conference by exposing their corruption. BYU would have killed if they could. Superman saved the day. In the Texas/OU move to kill the Big-12, OU should have been like UNLV and exposed what Texas was trying to do. But OU is a follower and will do whatever Texas tells them. He is actually right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelado Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 53 minutes ago, 818SUDSFan said: Neither Utah nor Colorado was a "must have" addition to the Pac. Nor, for that matter, were either of the Arizona schools. The "must have" aspect of the Utah and Colorado additions was that they had to have 12 schools to have a conference championship game. The conference title game was supposed to produce so much additional revenue that each original Pac10 school got an increase in revenue while still covering the payouts to Colorado and Utah. Then the Big12 came along and got a waiver and/or got the the rules for a championship game changed so that they could have the title game while staying at 10 teams. Had the Pac10 lobbied for and gotten a waiver/rule change on the title game, they probably wouldn't have invited Utah, and maybe not Colorado, either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aztec1984 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 18 hours ago, sactowndog said: OSU and MI aren’t going to the SEC. Also in my model, those top AAU schools could set up a research consortium similar to the CIC with a large number of Tier 1 AAU institutions... Stanford, Cal, USC, UCLA, Oregon, Washington, Utah, Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, Iowa State, Texas, are all currently AAU schools. If a research consortium were made part of it (research brings in billions), I suspect they could probably steal Missouri who is also a research member instead of West Virginia. At that point, only Oklahoma, TCU and Tech aren’t AAU schools. It would not be hard to promise to work with Oklahoma to get a spot in the AAU. That spot is worth far more than membership in the SEC money wise. Yes, because UT and OK isn't going to the PAC. The SEC isn't losing any schools to the BIG, much less the PAC.

Aztec1984 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 20 hours ago, Someone Else said: I don't think there will be enough interest to pay the cost of it. Sure some people will still want to watch games. My pessimism arises from the fact that athletic departments lose money. Without money sports won't happen. SDSU gets a pretty decent subsidy from the state. A few years ago there were only about 22 athletic departments that made money. Don't know how much, if at all, that has changed.

They screwed up a lot but they were not the instigators of the breakup of the old 16 team WAC. Now they did try to screw up the MWC but that is a different story for another time.
