Key tweets, and it's all gone to Hell.

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.

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)

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?

I am not saying you don’t do it. Maybe you do. (And yes, i typed that fast before. It’s not 10 trips it’s 9-10 conference games with half that many trips. But still will leave only 1 or 2 slots for some local games)

But we are so damn jaded about getting into a football conference that we are salivating at anything. People need to slow down and think hard about it. Joining an unstable mid major on the west coast ….. i am not sure the positives outweigh the negatives.

If we did join it’d be kinda depressing because it would mean we don’t believe the B12 or even ACC is ever gonna materialize. At least no time soon.

There is no way they would want us without a piece of our basketball. Any scheduling “alliance” would need to be pretty meager IMO. I don’t want our crown jewel with its hands tied when it comes to OOC scheduling. One game per year. Alternate each year men’s/womens That’s about all I’d be willing to do. There would be a few decent teams there (Gonzaga, SDSU) but a lot of dreck (USU, Fresno).

No way I’d do it with a GOR of more than 5 years.


Not that i matters. MWC is already showing signs of crumbling after their half day of solidarity. It’ll be what was predicted in the beginning. The top MWC teams under the PAC name and the flotsam (Wyoming, Hawaii, SJSU, etc) being jettisoned.

Some poor poker players on the board
 
If UConn somehow ends up there...

Imagine it's 2018 and someone told you in the next several years...

We'll have Cal, Stanford, SMU in the ACC...
UCLA, USC, Oregon and Washington in the B1G...
Arizona, Cincy, UCF, BYU, Houston, Arizona St in the B12...
UConn football, Gonzaga and Utah St. in the Pac12
UConn basketball in the Big East...
 


"And then there’s Gonzaga. Action Network reported Gonzaga is leaving the West Coast Conference for the Pac-12 in 2026. Gonzaga’s athletic director Chris Standiford told the Spokesman-Review that is inaccurate. Action Network stands by its reporting."

McMurphy standing by his reporting that Gonzaga is going to Pac.

So half a Gonzaga and half a UConn doesn't count? That sucks. I figure if Gonzaga is in, then we're in too if we want it. And I don't see why we wouldn't unless the exit fee would be enormous.

Anyone who wouldn't want this is nuts because it's the best case scenario that's potentially available. Even if we don't get paid a ton.
