Message: [QUOTE="Kolumbo, post: 5078041, member: 4613"] Going after a PAC-MWC merger now would make perfect sense. The MWC was only 12 programs to begin with and would be 14 with OSU and WSU. Now the 6 PAC has options including inviting more MWC members such as UNLV, Utah State, San Jose State, New Mexico or a few AAC members. A very real scenario is that a merged PAC and MWC would be by far the best G5 conference which in itself would help raise the profile and performance of Hawaii and Nevada. Wyoming has actually been pretty good anyway. The conference still has slots available if it wants to go after Memphis, Tulane, Texas schools or others depending on how big it wants to get and would have much more leverage. And it could be the only competitive G5 conference covering the entire Mountain and Pacific time zones. The AAC could also make moves to try to keep up and if I were a fan, I'd rather keep my company in the southeast than fly all over the western USA. [/QUOTE]
