PAC dysfunction

I still think the PAC survives. They have to wait on exit fee deadlines expiring, then they expand in the west. They have a scheduling deal already to bridge the gap.

And… I still think they would benefit from an east coast division of affiliate football members.

Faced with extinction, the PAC-2 are now playing a long game.
 


How does the money work? I asked. The conference that participates in the game retains the revenue. For example, the Big 12 will get the money for participation by Arizona, ASU, Utah, and Colorado. The ACC will get the bowl revenue if Stanford and Cal make the games. The Big Ten gets paid if USC, UCLA, Oregon, and Washington participate. The Pac-12 keeps the bowl revenue for the Beavers and Cougars.

Pac-12 bowl tie-in, Big Ten and ACC revenue. It's weird, but then again, that's what college football normally is.

For 2025:
8 full member teams only, minimum conf requirement.

Oregon State
Washington State
Rice
Tulane
USF
Temple
UMass
Delaware

Affiliate Football:

Army (Patriot)
Navy (Patriot)
UConn (Big East)
Nova (Big East)

Then, Aug 2, 2027 the MWC invites go out to San Diego State, Fresno State, Boise State, and Colorado State. USF, Temple, UMass, and UD go to the A10 but stay as affiliate FB:

Western Division: 8 full members

Oregon State
Washington State
San Diego State
Fresno State
Boise State
Colorado State
Rice
Tulane

Eastern Division, 8 FB affiliates.

Army - Patriot (FB only)
Navy - Patriot (FB only)
UConn - Big East (FB only)
Nova - Big East (FB only)
Temple - A10 (FB only)
UMass - A10 (FB only)
Delaware - A10 (FB only)
USF - A10 (FB only)


The PAC has a 2024 plan with a MWC contract.

For 2025-2026, the PAC has 8 full members plus 4 affiliate members. It meets NCAA requirements and stays alive without stepping on its MWC commitment.

For 2027 forward, 8 full members + 8 east coast affiliate members. Texas/NOLA stays west. Florida stays east.

The AAC can be poached without any financial hurdles.

The east coast affiliates are the Mass-NY-Phila-DC mega market plus Florida.

With east coast affiliates the PAC can safely stay at 8 full members without unnecessary west coast dilution. Zags and St Mary’s are invited as members, non-football, for a 10 team basketball schedule.

I guess I haven’t been paying attention, What are the indications that this is “coming together?”

I kinda like it.

Where has Nova said they plan to go FBS? The only person I see making this statement is you. Are you a billionaire who will fund Nova football to be able to compete at FBS level?

Zis,

Do you float the idea of Nova upgrading football on Nova boards?

If yes, what are the responses?

If no, why are you floating the idea here but not there?

Isn't everyone else there FBS? If you're being driven solely by markets, shouldn't you throw NYU in there?
