That's not a bad nucleus. Now go get Memphis, Tulane, UTSA, Liberty...

Trappist1F Walk-on

App State, USF and the service academies and you have a competitive conference with a national footprint and a fair amount of TV interest.

Utah State screwed themselves with the way the managed their programs

So 6 team conference? That makes no sense.

PortlandCoug

Sep 11, 11:39pm

2 more teams must be added in the future. Utah St could still make the cut

DodgerCoug

Sep 11, 11:40pm

They can have Utah & Colorado back. No exit fee required. Please. It’s a great deal.

just checked Ute board...they are saying that if the bay schools would go back with Utah that it would be a better conf

KYU

But Utah bailed on the bay schools

WJCougar

That would be awesome, if utah went back with the bay schools. Or anyone else,

What Ute board are you seeing that on?

Smart move, seems like they are planning for the demise of the ACC where the Bay

Very seriously doubt it.

kahuna

Obviously more moves to come but maybe they didn't want to take the MWC below eight teams so they could continue on

There apparently weren’t any other MWC schools willing to cough up $17M for

Cougarbib

Next 2: UNLV, Utah State or Nevada? Maybe not willing to pay $17 mil exit fee? San Jose State?

IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE

Six Foot Seven

Then the timing doesn't make any sense. The ACC's implosion is anything but

BerkeleyCoug

MWC media deal expires after '25 season. Timing makes perfect sense.

Doogal McCougar

Sep 12, 8:05am

You’re ignoring the obvious - because they know it’s going to be more than 4mm

molodyets

Sep 12, 8:08am

There's probably other teams they prefer for now - UTSA springs to mind

krindorr

I love what’s happened to the pac12 since they tried to ruin BYU athletics

OU Cougar

Sep 11, 11:42pm

I’m surprised they are taking Fresno over UNLV. Seems UNLV has more momentum

UNLVcougar

Sep 11, 11:44pm

Makes very little sense. Maybe Vegas said no.

Sandstone Cougar

Sep 11, 11:46pm

It’s because Fresno is generally a tough program and UNLV is perennial garbage.

molodyets

Sep 11, 11:57pm

Fresno State has a real history of fan support; UNLV does not.

Doogal McCougar

Guess SDSU finally got their wish.

couldn't have happened to a nicer group. They DESERVE this!

If the ACC implodes, would Stanford/Cal go back to the PAC12, or join the Big12?

ldssdl

Sep 11, 11:49pm

They will NEVER associate with Boise St

DodgerCoug

Sep 11, 11:52pm

But they’ll associate with BYU? Baylor?

ldssdl

Sep 11, 11:58pm

Probably not. They are all in on the ACC lol

DodgerCoug

Sep 11, 11:59pm

The B12 already passed on those two.

What's the point? Rearrange the deck chairs on the titanic? It isn't a P5.

SausageKing

If you could get a 30% raise and no longer go to Laramie would you do it?

molodyets

Sep 12, 12:02am

Why will networks suddenly pay them all more?

SausageKing

Sep 12, 12:13am

Do you think they’re forking over the buyout for fun? They don’t have to bankrol

molodyets

Sep 12, 1:05am

Why on earth would they get a 30% raise? It’s the MWC with a PAC12 logo on it.

deliciousmocha

So now we'll have two MWC's. Got it.

Utah State is really gonna hate us now hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Should rename the conference to All State Conf, great commercial opportunity

RenoCoug

It’s not official

CommodoreCoug

Well, will Wyoming disown them now and vow to never play them again?

EM_Puma

They should call it the State Conference or Pac State. Oops beat me to it.

I'd have to think UNR and UNLV would be the next two.
