One thing that wasn't mentioned is the expanded Playoff giving the PAC12 Champion and maybe an At Large team a shot to getting there without having to deal with the Ohio States and Michigan's of the BIG10 Will it give PAC teams $40M in additional TV $$$? Next to zero chance UCLA doesn’t go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The saber rattling is at the behest of Elitist U, Cal. Although Cal may still have the juice within the UC Board of Regents that it always did, it wrongly thinks it still has the same clout within the conference it did when it was the Pac-8. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtball Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 I guess Dan Patrick is reporting that SDSU will be invited to the P12. Could happen as soon as this week. We will see. Quote "Make like a tree and scram" - Rosegreen Your administration is the reason why our basketball league is bleeding out currently. If you didn't insist on San Jose being in the MWC, so you guys would have someone that votes similar to SDSU, every team in the MWC wouldn't have to play 2 games vs. a team with a 330 RPI ranking EVERY season. You guys are as stupid as you are desperate. - Cowboy Junky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I clicked on it and no pay wall. It's not really premium. You can read most of his articles on other news websites. It's just a few websites that it's behind a pay wall. Copied and pasted for you the section about Gonzaga and UNLV. Did the Pac-12 reach out to Gonzaga for possible expansion? — @MarcSheehan006 Of course, the Pac-12 has discussed membership with Gonzaga — and with San Diego State, too, for that matter. Everybody’s talking to everybody. The difference is that the Big 12’s meeting with Gonzaga was leaked to the media, while the Pac-12 has kept conversations private. We won’t offer a guess on Gonzaga’s ultimate destination — the Big East is also a possibility — and it’s entirely possible the Zags stay right where they are. There’s a strong case to be made that the WCC provides coach Mark Few with the best path to the national championship. There’s talk about adding Gonzaga and San Diego State, but why not UNLV? Adding the Las Vegas market seems to be a logical play given its growth and the access to venues: football as well as basketball. — @BradBelstock There are three elements to the Pac-12’s evaluation of new members: the competitive fit, the financial fit, and the institutional fit. I’m not sure the Rebels work on any level. UNLV isn’t a top-tier academic school, the football program is subpar and the Las Vegas market, while growing, doesn’t provide nearly enough value (No. 40 nationally) to increase revenue for the existing schools. In contrast, San Diego State is a better fit in every category. And we’d make the case that Fresno State is, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His votes are worth the click though, he’s silly. Speaking of the AP poll, haven’t you been telling the whole world that the P12 is a terrible conference? You said we benefit from “West Coast Bias” at the first of the year but all that fades away by the end of the season, right? So how on earth does the P12 have 6 teams ranked in the AP this late in the season? That’s nearly 25% of the poll. Must be a typo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
