Go get the New Mexico/UNLV and Gonzaga to build up your basketball. That gives 9 FB and 10 BB teams. Not saying this move will rebuild the Pac12 into a power league (it won't) but it is really the best Pac12 can hope for given Memphis and ACC schools don't want to come back.

The thing I am surprised by. . . Why would UNLV and New Mexico not want to come? I would assume they need the Pac12 more than the Pac12 needs them.

Anyway, I admit this wave of realignment doesn't make sense to me. But congrats to Utah State for getting into the Pac12. This is definitely a move up, replacing Wyoming, SJSU, Nevada, etc with games against Wazzu and OreSt.
