Surprised this hasn’t been posted. Relatively small shake up but I wonder if this move signals a Gonzaga defection soon, especially by adding Seattle.
That would be a smart move for the new PAC.Wouldn’t surprise me if Pac 2.0 is targeting Zaga and St Mary’s.
Gonzaga is probably gone. They locked the door on Seattle for years. Methinks the Zags are joining the BE or Big 12.Surprised this hasn’t been posted. Relatively small shake up but I wonder if this move signals a Gonzaga defection soon, especially by adding Seattle.
Gonzaga (Spokane) is almost 300 miles from Seattle so not the same market. Seattle is interesting as they went to the NCAA Championship in 1958 with Elgin Baylor and they were part of the WCC at one point, but then moved down a level.Surprised this hasn’t been posted. Relatively small shake up but I wonder if this move signals a Gonzaga defection soon, especially by adding Seattle.
Seattle's struggled lately, GCU had faced a lot of online degree backlash at one point, but success in a big market probably did a lot of help overcome that. This also emperils the WAC's survival for like that 4th time since the Mountain West killed off their football conference.
After the PAC reconstitutes with much of the MW, the leftovers will merge with the WAC.WAC down to 7 members. One more departure and the league dies.
