And if the PAC can’t pull American schools, they should just grab Texas State to meet conference requirements and stop there. If/when we all merge again in 2032 under the PAC12 umbrella, we’ll have a relatively compact 16-school conference. CSU/WYO UNM/AFA BSU/USU UNLV/UN SDSU/FS OSU/WSU UTEP/TXST SJSU/Hawaii FB + Zags Olympics That’s the optimal set up and should’ve happened from the start. Looks like the 1998 WAC again. Let’s make quadrants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I’m guessing they would abstain from voting on football-specific matters like scheduling or conference championship format, etc. (similar to how CSU wouldn’t vote on anything baseball related as we don’t play that sport). Yup, I was totally thinking like football only. Sometimes I should stop and think haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The theory is, by adding Gonzaga, those numbers are higher than they were before. The goal is clearly to take those new numbers back to Memphis and UConn and close both those deals for all sports. After which, and if they are successful, they will take whomever they want from the AAC -- probably UTSA, Tulane, and (if they can convince them) USF. If not, they will take Rice, North Texas, or Tulsa. Which would ultimately be 12 full members and 1 non-football member. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think a FCS game will get GameDay played on the same day as Alabama-Tennessee and Georgia-Texas, both on ABC?
