Gonzaga to Pac-12 as full-share member.

Art Director

That's a pretty big a carrot to place in front of Memphis...

Doogal McCougar

1:08pm

Yes- and Penny cares deeply about this

SBB

I'm sure Memphis knew about the potential invite before they said no.

Art Director

1:13pm

But, did they know that Gonzaga would accept and that it's actually happening?

Doogal McCougar

1:17pm

Interesting- they have to add more teams now for sure beyond just Tulane and Mem

Pac still doing dumb stuff. How do you give full revenue with no football?

When the alternative is no conference.....

RGGeemer

I assume it’s full basketball revenue. No?

The tweet suggests otherwise.

Leaving room for Hawaii as FB only?

WeekendWarrior

I think Hawaii is in trouble football wise...

Coug

False. Hawaii is spending $400M on a new stadium to open in 2028

Doogal McCougar

1:20pm

And the stadium is like an FCS sized stadium, 25k seating

Coug

Spending $400M in Hawaii is like spending $150M in Utah.

Seems like a knee jerk reaction to add anybody after the east coast schools turned them down much like when they invited

ManicBlue

Seems the perfect and timely move to me. The PAC looks like a power-level bball

Doogal McCougar

1:13pm

"power-level bball conference"? You serious Clark? hahaha

ManicBlue

2:04pm

If the PAC gets Gonzaga, SDSU, and Memphis...yes. That's a multi-bid league

Doogal McCougar

2:16pm

That's a big IF and unlikely at that. Only SDSU currently is a decent bball program. Even so, 3 decent bball programs

While football is generally the focus in realignment moves...

Gentleman Stan

The Pac12 is like a Big12 lite. They are looking to use a conference brand,

Cougar TD

No Memphis, but they should target UNLV/New Mexico/St. Mary's. Good hoops group.

Baylorbears11

Does Gonzaga start up a football program?

RenoCoug

1:25pm

Nothing desperate about that, Pac. Beyond the $, I'm not so sure how good a move that is for the Zags.

SinkingQuffa

1:28pm

I guess I do not see how it is a bad move for them.

BYUheaven

Bball-wise they WERE the big dawg in the NW. Now they've hitched their brand on w WSU & OreSt?

SinkingQuffa

1:33pm

Such a better basketball league. SDSU, CSU, BSU, WSU, OSU? So much better than WCC.

mulletino

1:36pm

Yes, but Gonzaga's regional brand was pure. If they had any regional rivals it was OU & OW (if they'd been brave enough)

SinkingQuffa

1:39pm

Well, they are #1 right now, and this move would put them in a position more

Gentleman Stan

1:43pm

Brand-wise, affiliation-wise — it's NOT the easy answer, though. WSU's "glory" won't last. Particularly

SinkingQuffa

1:46pm

SDSU is good. Maybe they believe they'll get UNLV and UNM too?

HuskerFan2

1:39pm

They are still the Big Dog in the NW, and potentially (if this has legs) in the

Gentleman Stan

1:45pm

I do hope it works out for they (& the Pac), but no one hardly sees the Zags brand as a subset of the WCC

SinkingQuffa

1:53pm

Good move for Gonzaga because the basketball is much better

RenoCoug

1:33pm

They have no problem w national power scheduling these days.

SinkingQuffa

1:43pm

I shoulda said, "Besides the $ AND the major step-up in conf basketball competition..."

SinkingQuffa

Ehh, I'll believe it when I see it. Check this link -

Canzano vs McMurphy again..... 😉

Oh good, Clownzano has chimed. The opposite of what he says is true.
