New PAC-12 Forming

Sac St and NM State are the only two left trying to claw their way into PAC or MWC at this point right?

this has kind of been the PAC/MWC thread

This makes sense for MWC with Hawaii, but what will get NIU and Toledo to join for football only unless the money is much better than the MAC?

I mean, UConn, Temple, and USF were part of the group calling the shots in basically the same scenario, no?

Not as much money in the Bank as the PAC
if it was the alleged $200,000,000 plus divided 2 ways . UConn finances would have been a little different.

Yeah. The only reason pac is important is because the outgoing members by leaving basically forsaked the common product between them. The legal wrangling last year was to stop the remaining members from raiding the piggybank
 
I've been rethinking this: I hope Memphis and only Memphis jumps at the Pac-12 and then we come to an agreement on a football-only deal. If we get 5-7 million per year plus the 7+ million from the Big East we will be in a solid place. Our NIL would be in a really good place relative to just about everybody in the G5. \ Plus, if the Pac-12 only has nine schools it guarantees an eight game schedule leaving us 1 FCS game and 3 P4 home and home series games.

Prospective schedule:

1. Villanova (H)
2. Duke (A)
3. Syracuse (H)
4. Maryland (A)
5. Memphis (A)
6. Colorado State (H)
7. Utah State (H)
8. Washington State (A)
9. Oregon State (H)
10. SDSU (A)
11. Boise State (H)
12. Fresno State (A)

That schedule plus a realistic path to the playoff is comparable to the 4-5 P4 schedule per year that we play now.

Shizzle, I'm okay with most of that, but Puke can come to our house and get their arses kicked properly.

"It was in the summer of 2014 that I first heard Mao’s name. Forbes put him on a “30-under-30” list. The Pac-12 Network had just partnered with YouTube. Mao was a key player in the launch. He eventually went to work for Octagon — which has a client list that includes the NFL, MLB, ACC, WCC, and Big Ten, among others. Mao is Octagon’s senior vice president in charge of media rights consulting."

Are you sure Mao is the Senior Vice President? A lot of people think he is actually the Chairman.

Seems like that would have been a great opportunity to schedule a home and away with Oregon State, but perhaps they weren’t interested in playing us.
 
Or maybe football scheduling is more complicated than posting on a message board and neither school even considered it?

There is one pro team in Sacremento and the A's are just visiting. A D-1A school there would probably do well, this would be a good move if sac state wants to do it.

It is probably like anything else. If they are good they’ll do fine. If not they’ll be Playing in front of friends and family.

As evidenced by huge crowds at UC Davis?

You can’t move from Memphis/Tulane/USF or even UNLV to Sac State and not expect folks to LoL

Grand Canyon is joining the Mountain West in all sports but football. GCU just announced in May it was joining the WCC in 2025. So it will be a one year and done for the WCC.

The amazing thing is that people take this school seriously. It would not surprise me if it ceased to exist in a few years. How many times will it pay fines for charging students for non-degrees, lying to them, leaving them high and dry? They've been found guilty of racketeering! Would not surprise me if they go the way of Corinthian College and others.

They're actually not even joining the WCC. They'll either stay in the WAC until end of 2025 or enter the MWC as early as 2025.
 
Funny for sure, but these decisions have nothing to do with how good a team is on the field.

what do you mean by "non degrees"? And how does that differ from a traditional university?

Fraud credentials. a lot of the for-profits are charging students for no-show credentials. They've been accused of racketeering.

How does that differ from a regular university? Well, it's illegal. There are all sorts of reporting/assessments in place to prevent this from happening. Unless you don't care and you're flouting the law.

Even worse, the entry of these corporate crook universities into the space has forced accreditors into the position of requiring these assessments from all universities and thereby wasting everyone's time on stuff that was never a problem before.

These are just unscrupulous actors making tens of millions off the Higher Education space.
