That's the deal. We join for FB-only and agree to play a few BB games with them.There are currently 7 members. They need 8 for FBS football.

Absolutely. Rotate men's and women's basketball split a home and away with PAC teams every year ('25 men home/women away, '26 you flip, for example). Would love to play Oregon St and Gonzaga in baseball, too.That's the deal. We join for FB-only and agree to play a few BB games with them.

Will a name change be required...Connecticut State???PAC-6 are out of programs to add. UConn football is the most viable property remaining.
I think he'd be thrilled, as it is a solution that allows him to stay in the Big East, which he lovesHow would this go over with Hurley?
Surely there's a lifeboat somewhere for us.
Is RedditCFB a Key source these days? It wouldn't shock me if they had some random connects in athletic departments
I like Utah State. Why the lol?Lol Utah State...
Uh oh

oh my god it's happening
And we get perceived as being left out, again, despite not being (publicly) active in any of the discussions.UConn publicly mentioned means that the MW and PAC are now going to merge and sign a big enough TV deal that San Jose State will be making more TV $ than UConn
SDSU has made that mistake
PAC-8 with limited travel would make sense for UCONNPAC-8 Would make a lot of sense for UConn FB. The travel would be tough but it’s only 7 trips every two years. We can focus on local opponents in the OOC. UMass, Buffalo, Cuse, BC, Temple, Rutgers.
oh my god it's happening
We'd be traveling 4 times (9 teams, 8 conference games, 4 of which are away) and it is wildly unlikely it would go beyond 5 (10+ teams, 9 conference games, 4/5 of which are away)PAC-8 with limited travel would make sense for UCONN
The rest of the league in the coming years adding more and more west coast teams and putting UConn on an island may not make sense. All of a sudden we are traveling to the west coast 10 times a year instead of 7. Maybe need an escape clause should they expand by x number of teams west of the Mississippi.
Would that still be better than status quo? Unfortunately, it may be.
Of course a 5 year GOR kinda helps with that.
This is turning into one of the more brutal public humiliations in sports history. The Pac 12 was making press releases for days about which schools they were going to add, and now they are hoping for Utah State to say "yes".
The smart move is for both sides, the MWC and Pac 2+4, to stand down and work something out.
How the fudge did this silly slap fight between a bunch of mid-majors in the mountains boomerang right into our nuts?

UConn should put John Henry on our BOT, athletic board or named as an honorary FB captain.Rule #1.
