'20 SJSU is the only exception. Boise (x6), Fresno (x4), SDSU (x3), Utah State(x1) (including '13 which was a 3-way tie among Boise, Fresno, and SDSU). PAC football will also be the only conference with two former power conference teams.

Boise, Fresno, SDSU, Utah State are typically top-half of the MWC standings - Colorado State finished 6-1 this year. Wyoming, New Mexico, Nevada, and Hawaii are typically bottom-half MWC teams and rarely compete for MWC championships. UTEP is a bad CUSA program. NIU is a middle-pack MAC program.

Most of the PAC programs get 30K+ attendance at football games; most of the MWC leftovers struggle to get 15-20K attendance.

The PAC will also have most of the MWC basketball champions over the last decade except for Nevada and Wyoming (co-champs with Boise and SDSU in '15): SDSU (x6), Utah State (x2), Boise (x1), Fresno (x1). And, the PAC is adding Gonzaga.

From a TV perspective, only the PAC will have Boise State and Gonzaga and two former power conference teams. UNLV and Air Force struggle to even get on TV that actually measures viewership, unless they are playing Boise State, Oregon State, Washington State, Army, Navy, or a P4 opponent.
