I take a few months off checking these forums and we are STILL talking about the nonsense that is the PAC-2 poaching teams from the MWC. For the billionth time, the money is not there nor is the incentive. Barring the PAC-2 getting an invite to the B1G 10 (good luck), there are no other options; either we all join them or they join us in the next 24 months...it is that simple, folks. And, to everyone still hoping for a "pie-in-the-sky" poaching scenario for their alleged elite school, let me just say this...be careful what you wish for. Remember when the PAC-10 expanded and took Utah and Colorado over BYU...remember that? Indeed, be careful what you wish for since I am not convinced that the schools/teams allegedly at the top of the list to be poached by the PAC-2 would even be at the actual top of their list...just sayin. These are academics and college presidents making these decisions. So, you know, I would not be surprised if other factors than just prowess on the field or court came into play is all. But, again, even that is not worth discussing since it is not going to happen. We are either all joining them in a reverse merger or they are joining us. Dump SJSU entirely. Make New Mexico basketball only AFA- Football only Add WSU and OSU in both sports - IF they think they can hang in basketball. It apppears they would rather play a bunch of WCC JV teams though.

The AAU called BS on UN-Lincoln's "affiliated w/the entire UN system" logic. Five of the Univ of Calif campuses have Med Schools. So, given your logic UCLA's Med School is "affiliated" with UC-San Francisco (a spin-off of Cal decades ago), UC-San Diego, UC-Irvine & UC-Riverside? Sure it's affiliated (in the same system). However, they are FIVE stand alone schools. UCSF used to be part of Cal-Berkeley. Now UCSF is it's own stand-alone campus in SF. The UCSF campus is 3x closer to Berkeley (16-mi), than Omaha is to Lincoln (54-mi). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to USN, UCF is ranked 73rd in overall engineering schools. Schools like CU, NC State, Florida, Utah, ASU, Iowa State, Wichita State, Auburn, CSU, Oregon State, Houston, Tenn and Dayton all have much better Engineering rankings. UCF is ranked 50th in Aerospace. You see domination of the market(which is BS), I see 49 better schools to go to.. But we all know the US Government likes to give contracts to the lowest bidder, so I'm not surprised some average at best UCF grads pollute the market. Like with many things in this country, we should expect and demand better. But we all know it doesn't always work out that way. Sometimes bottom of the barrel rules the day.

Great football, competitive basketball, great gymnastics, decent volleyball and soccer programs. Their baseball program stinks but it somehow won a league title in 2016. Colorado was a Pac-12 flop. It never felt like Colorado was part of the conference to me because we (OSU) never played them in anything. They didn't play baseball, softball, men's soccer, wrestling, gymnastics ... all sports offered by OSU and many other Pac-12 schools. Did they ever win anything in the Pac-12, except for maybe a conference basketball tournament or two? Colorado was chosen because of its academics and the Denver TV market. I look forward to the uncertainty of OSU's longtime conference affiliation being resolved. I have no problem with a full OSU/WSU/MWC reverse merger under the older, more marketable and more recognizable Pac-14 brand. Agreed. I think a reverse merger under the PAC banner is the most likely scenario and the best option for all schools/teams moving forward. And, I have said it before, but the new "PAC-14" in that scenario would be head and shoulders above the American and Sun Belt in all relevant sports, including football; which means they would send at least their conference champion each year to the CFP under the new 5+7 model. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Pac-2 FB merges w/the MWC, our conf will accept their hoops teams. FWIW...this yr, Wazzu would be competitive in hoops. Los Beavs, not so much.
