I love how you go from presidential debate, to conference realignment so seamlessly.

This conference realignment is so dumb

Dude the Big 12 is already in the state of Florida they got UCF

They just need to merge with the Mountain West Conference

If 6 MW schools would join the PAC these would be the likely ones: BSU, SDSU, AFA, CSU, UNLV & Fresno.

I believe this conference will be back one day, in some form

I'm surprised no conference wants UCONN. They have a top basketball program and are in the NYC media market.

Just merge with the Mountain West and rebrand as the Pacific Mountain Athletic Conference or the PMAC.

Oregon State and Washington State should just swallow their pride and join the Mountain West as full members.

My favorite KZfaqr. Literally covers it all.

Honestly I could see a lot of the teams in the airplane conferences making new conferences in 15-20 years to make them more regional again. Especially if some conferences split from the NCAA

With a 12 team playoff i could see this as a possibility. An undefeated or 1 loss pac 12 team i could see easily finishing top 12. Boise st is no joke. Sdsu always has talent and that west coast pac 12 after dark crowd will watch.

They should merge with MW, two divisions. Mountain division, Pacific Division. New conference the Mountain Pacific Conference. Much better football than people realize in the MWC. New conference would own the west.

I think a dark horse candidate to make a move to a rebuilt ACC, provided it doesn't implode, or perhaps the Big 12 if it goes coast to coast, is Coastal Carolina. The Chanticleers have been an outstanding mid major and could boost the status of the Carolinas depending on rivalries that survive in the never ending musical chairs of college football conferences.

Hey any info about the NFL direct tv lawsuit?

Pac 8 could work

What is the distance from Memphis to Los Angeles? I think it is 1800 miles. What is the distance from New Orleans to Los Angeles? I think it is about 1900 miles.

pac "pacific to atlantic conference, add memphis uconn unlv san diego state, others

I think its much more likely they wait for the ACC fallout till the last second, then either reverse merger with the MWC or convince 9 MWC teams to vote to fold the MWC pending a PAC invite. They will save possibly 100 million dollars doing this instead.

Bosie won’t be taken serious until they get rid of that ugly field

EAST: Syracuse, Boston College, UConn, Duke, Wake Forest, Georgia Tech, USF. WEST: Tulane, SMU, SDSU, Cal, Stanford, Oregon State, Washington State.

If the Pac 2 was smart they would merge with Mountain West, keep the Pac branding then they add Tulane and Memphis. This makes it a 16 team conference and a legit case to be called P5

8 teams is a good start. Probably need to get to 12 or 16 to get a good TV deal though.

I enjoy your work A couple of things concerning San Diego State and . The THe Pac 12 did not reject San Diego State; the deal simply crashed when the Pac couldn't get a contract, they were ready to offer both SMU and San Diego State, That of course fell apart when the Pac-12 couldn't get a contrac they wanted and folded The Mountain West agreed to a $270 million media rights deal in 2020 with CBS and FOX, according to The Athletic. It would end after the 2025-26 season. Teams are scheduled to be paid $4 million per year. if I'm correct on that then there would be no fees if the Aztecs or other schools were to leave. if not it would cost them $17 million. now that would have been a hardship prior to Snapdragon. Snapdragon has been managed tremendously well and the revenue for the athletic department has gone from 65 million to 110 million and when MLS soccer comes in other revenue it is expected to reach 140-150 million year . Also as far as SDSU people boring you forget that they hired Sean Lewis and his wide open ,no huddle which he calls Aztec Fast offense. Lewis was very successful brining over some Talent at wide receiver and running back from the transfer portal and a lot of explosive players that he managed to recruit and also some excellent Offensive talent out of High school . they may struggle a little bit this year but you can be sure they'll be ready to go and fill the stadium in 25-26. Ask for the pac- 2 to putting together a conference from the Mountain West that just simply won't work. The payout is about 4. million a year from the current contract. Teams would have to Fork out 17 million dollars which means it would take them years just to recoup That investment at 7-10 million a year. Both Canzano and Wilmer have queried media people and they give an estimate of 7 to 10 million for the rights to a conference with Washington State, Oregon State and six to eight Mountain West teams. It's just not worthwhile particularly since the Mountain West is producing a lot of NCAA basketball money. Boise State would certainly not do that because they get close to 6 million dollars right now. If they had to pay out $17 million it would take them four or five years probably to recoup that. besides that they like their position of being the power in a small conference. OSU and WAZZU have a lot more than 65 million in total have 250 million between them but they're not going to spend that they're going to be Pennywise a nd pound Foolish, holding on as much as they can to it. In the long run as far as the Mountain West is concerned they're three teams that will probably be perennial at the top San Diego State, Boise State and UNLV( has finally come of age doing extremely well recruiting and I think will be be one of the three powers soon). Fresno State has a great coach but he has health issues stadium is a total mess and they keep trying to get money for it it can't do it. it's already taking a hit in recruitment. The Big 12 wants to expand but not West and might take in some of the Have Nots from the ACC if the ACC goes Belly Up. If the ACC were to lose four or five teams then it would make sense for them to look West and have fun Pac to Atlantic conference,. I can see that happening if they added Washington State, Oregon State, and San Diego State to Cal Stanford and SMU they would have a good Western Division and Eastern Division.

LMAO, so the Mountain West...just give it up OSU and WSU and accept realty already.

So the ACC would rather get San Diego State and Boise St over Oregon State and Washington State....smh...ok

Idk why they just didn’t take the 8 best schools from the MW and bring them into the PAC and rebrand back to being the PAC 10. That way they could have still had the Power 5 designation. Now I’m not so sure they will have that status. Just a weird situation.

What about Pitt and Louisville in the Big 12? It brings the Backyard Brawl back for West Virginia and The Keg of Nails for Louisville and Cincinnati

What about Memphis?

The Pac 12 needs new Northern California schools like Sacramento State & UC Davis to fill 🏈,🏀 and other sports as well to replace UC Berkeley and Stanford that went to the ACC

20 teams, Super G5 rebuilt Pac: Oregon State, Washington State, Fresno State, Boise State, Tulane, Memphis, UNLV, San Diego State (first 8). San Jose State, New Mexico State, Air Force, Colorado State, North Texas, Rice, UTSA, Louisiana (next 8, get to 16 Western teams). Liberty, James Madison, Appalachian State, Coastal Carolina (add 4 Eastern teams, split 10/10 West/East for 20-team conference).

I mean if the ACC is going west coast anyway why not take wash at and organ at and rename to all coast conference

The "New PAC12" does not have to get teams from the east coast if the ACC implodes. They could get six Mountain West teams and Stanford and Cal back making it a 10 team Conference.

Well that why we have CFB 25 for

One question: Why exactly were Arizona State, Washington & Oregon taken but Oregon State and Washington State weren’t?

WHEN the ACC implodes when FSU, Clemson, UNC leave the ACC & they backfill with teams like USF, Memphis, etc, the ACC TV deal is ripped up & Stanford & Cal to the ACC makes no sense. Come back to the PAC 2 + Stanford & Cal, then add 4 best MWC team like SDSU, Boise, Etc, that still turns into a strong G5 Conference.

The people pulling the strings aren't doing what theyre doing to ACC just to get 2 teams out of it. They are breaking that whole thing up as the Conference Consolidation train continues full steam ahead.....

College football screwed everyone up because every team was peaking in the pac 12 but now for not its sad to see even osu and wsu were good last year.

Memphis has a check waiting written out from fedex to pay exit fees but its ACC or X12 for that payout. Noway in hell Memphis wants to travel to the pacific time games! Tulane probably feels tge same as does a USF! NO AAC TEAMS ARE COMING FOR THAT!

Tulane?

Bring in byu, also.

Does it really matter.

bruh the PAC should just merge with the MWC. there is no future. why would any team want to join a conference with no TV deal?

I could see cal go pac-2 but Stanford can’t in big 10 with notre dame get stuck pac-2 they add smu got big money $$$

Ginger all the acc need to do is win, beating teams you think is best. Lil 12 done lost all it brand teams and back fill with group of 5. Acc added power 5 teams with good history and you condemn them calling the group of 5. Acc will be fine once Clemson and fs depart. Through out history team have won and lost, Alabama before Saban, Georgia before Smart, Clemson before Dabo and Michigan had thier bout. No one team is dominant. Don't know why you rhink lil 12 is better than the acc when both are in the same situation. Don't think espn will cancel acc when their network need games to broadcast. To drop the acc and back fill with group 5 will loose lot's of money. Espn could also pay the acc more money. Lots of possibilities looming. Just got to wait and see.

Just merge the mountain west and pac 2 and call it the Pac West conference

I feel like San Diego State, Boise State and Fresno State are the obvious top choices from the MW - based solely on their football on field accomplishments. And i feel like all 3 of those schools allign nicely with both OSU & WSU in terms of academic institutions. Similar sizes/alumni base/ etc. We will see how their scheduling agreement plays out this season. That could be a strong indicator should the aggreement be successful.

Please no more PAC 2 or Pac 12

Pac 12 ie 2 could save itsefl if the ACC falls apart. Cal and Stanford will come crawling back. get Gonzaga would would give them 5 They need at least 3 more schools to be viable. Cal and Stanford will find travel expensive especially for the smaller sports and would be better off back in a re built Pac. Could be a half way decent conference But they do need some good football schools to meke it work. That's the issue no one that is any good will want to come to the Pac, maybe TCU or someone like that.

Let's be honest the pac 2 is dead period. San Diego State would probably head to the Big 12 while Oregon state and Washington State fail forward to the Mountain West.

PAC-12 NORTH Oregon State Washington State Boise State SOUTH San Diego State Fresno State University of Nevada Las Vegas EAST Colorado State Utah State Wyoming MILITARY Air Force Navy Army

Pac 2, Big 12 and MW should merge.

Boise St, San Diego St and BYU should be their choices out West and in the Eastern US it should be Appalachian State, UNC Charlotte ,University of Delaware, in Texas it should be UTEP & Texas State, Montana also

ACC will lose Clemson & FSU plus likely NC and either Va or GT to B10. ACC may not lose anyone to SEC. P2/12 should reverse merge with top 7/8 MWC teams : SD St, Fresno, Boise, AFA, Col St, NM, and either NV or UNLV. Following teams aren’t they attractive to a new P2/12 Hawaii a lot of travel Wyoming very small population Either NV or UNLV but not both Nevada is too small SJ St- small athletic budget and not much success Others to consider are NIU- have on campus stadium 🏟️ plus can use She soldier Field(Chi Bears 🐻) or guaranteed rate field (chi white Sox ) stadiums NIU has beaten 2 ACC teams in past 3 yrs (GT & BC) plus 6 big ten teams in last 10 yrs. East flight ✈️access with OHare & Rockford airports . PAC 2/12 may also consider the top MW FCS programs of ND, NDST, SD & SD St. All save SD St have indoor stadiums 🏟️ plus sd st & nd st have played in FCs title game the past 10 yrs
