The Pac 8

[Atradees]

Oregon State. Washington State. Boise st. Fresno st. San Diego st. Colorado St, Utah St, Gonzaga.......interesting. Need at least eight schools to be a ncaa power conference. Who else will come on board?

 

[12AngryHawks]

Nevada & Utah St.?

I heard UNLV can't go unless UNR also comes along - the state decrees it so - and UNR is not what anyone wants - at least for football.

I think without UNR - UNLV would be a good add.

Tulsa SMU UTSA Rice - are possible options. If the ACC folds - other options probably become possible. Not likely - but possible.

Goodbye Mountain West conference. For all the crap Coug and Beavers fans give Huskies and Ducks fans about killing the PAC12, they've just killed the mountain west and the non top schools in that conference will probably fold as I doubt they have any other home.

For the record, I do think the Cougs and Beavers got screwed but for the Huskies and Ducks it was about saving themselves once UCLA and USC left if they wanted to remain relevant programs.

Cal and Stanford should try find a way back to the PAC12. ACC will die once Clemson, Florida St, Miami and North Carolina end up joining the SEC.

Poog fans love to play the victim, it's their jam.

Well, I'm happy the Pac-10, 12, 6 or 8 will still be in existence. Even though their leadership sabotaged the conference by getting cute with TV deals, it's been around such a long time it'd be a shame to see it gone forever.

Nothing they add will make them a power conference. They could add every MWC, AAC and SBC school, and still not be a power conference.

And who killed the conference? Why is no one blaming OSU and ASU. Who both fought tooth and nail to KEEP Larry Scott around. If he was fired years before, like lots of schools wanted, things might be different

When they come ova they will build on regional recruiting and the Pac 12 money. Granted they need to get that right. Didbyou see Boise? They will up their game. Same could be said of the others. The keystone me is finding good programs in the final add ons.on. Then....scheduling tough non conference teams and getting victories. The timing might be right to gather ACC power programs.

Someday...*maybe*...the NCAA will make regional and competitive sense of this mess.

 

[Sonny6killer]

Perhaps Montana, Montana State, North Dakota and South Dakota State could be in play?

What pac 12 money? The money they need is in a tv deal, and you will not have a major market or a blue blood.

 

[Atradees]

240 million from the Pac 12 bag won in a lawsuit. 130 million left to ease constitutional concerns. Ive parting money. Pac 12 new veiwing contracts. That money. I'll take Florida State and Miami . ACC meltdown? One can dream.

 

[Atradees]

Gonzaga? They getting a football program? That counts towards the eight minimum?

 

[chris98251]

no they are not but they are also trying to add Connecticut for their football program.

Well, they are pretty close to the Pacific Ocean.

Utah State?
