New PAC-12 Forming

[WrenchFan69]

McMurphy was right.

I don't think he'll dunk on anyone about it, but he's earned the right to. Guy is way connected in the realignment space

Congrats to Gonzaga for joining the PAC-12. They got a great basketball school

Seems like the PAC-12 now needs another school for football

Hmmmm

If UNLV had gone to the PAC-12, that would have been an even nicer basketball conference.

Saint Mary's is still available.

 

[CL82]

McMurphy was right.

On the other hand....

You know that will be one bad-asz basketball conference. If it wasn’t all western teams we could do worse than joining for all sports. P6 in basketball for sure.

You're serious which makes this even funnier.

Bill Walton (god rest his soul) must be rolling over in his grave seeing his beloved PAC-X conference go from the conference of champions to a truck stop conference

Last full member is going to bring down the average.

206. Texas State
289. New Mexico State
317. Sacramento State

One more non-football team would help offset

16. Saint Mary's

82,

You may want to check the date on that tweet.

It's 9/23. It didn't turn out to be particularly precedent a week later.

The PAC 12 still needs 1 more full member with football. I don't know if the Gonzaga news affects UConn unless there were some additional moves, so I'm wondering what the PAC 12 would need to do to make UConn consider a full invitation. If some AAC programs flip, things get interesting. Maybe the PAC 12 is looking at some more basketball additions...

 

[xclamations]

Well well well...

 

[UCFBfan]

So Gonzaga is all in, right? But it doesn't help much because they don't play football. I also know that if we go FB only it doesn't help them get to 8 either.

Well, he was correct. There was no deal in place last week.

Basically the same problem as the NEWBE.
Georgetown 205
DePaul 320

As far as I know though Texas State and New Mexico State are not on the invite list, at least so far. Sacramento State seems to be trying to position itself for an invitation, but that has not come officially yet either.

C'mon Dave, now is not the time to be picky

 

[gioff2323]

Wait - we turned someone down? The times they are a changing!

 

[gioff2323]

You're serious which makes this even funnier.

6 top 50 teams ain’t bad

 

[UConn Dan]

It’s probably because he have one of the other two lined up

 

[NowInStorrs]

I hope that means we got some good news from the B12

 

[Fishy]

Probably the right move for UConn.

Upsides and downsides to being in the P12 - I can see the admin deciding that the downsides weighed down the upside.

 

[noeynox]

Given how much talk there has been recently about how NIL in football has evened the playing field for them, this is kind of expected.

 

[LetsGoUC]

Publicly saying no through the Courant is kind of strange no? Why even say anything?

 

[Hondo 77]

Or the offered an SMU type deal.
