Cal has one open date in 2025 and they already have the Beavers on the Schedule, Stanford has 2 open dates in 2025. I am sure both teams would love to find a West Coast opponent for obvious reasons. The pac 12 is scheduled to get about 105 million this year and 105 Million in 2025, in order to get the money in 2025 the pac 12 (2) still has to exist. Due to all the realignment, many teams have an open date, not easy to match the dates, but I would like to think the WSU staff is working on it. The MWC has been very protective of their conference, and for the amount of money we are spending to play in their league this year, 15 million, that money could be used next year to lure other teams to Pullman, and Corvallis. Not sure the ACC will fall apart, at this point after 2 losses in which they were favored, FSU may not find a home if they find a way out. There is a lot of uncertainty, and it's not a great position for WSU to be in, to say the least, and having 15,000, maybe, show up for your opener wasn't great, and I doubt the TV ratings were much better. I'd like to think the Texas Tech game will draw fans and viewers; both are critical this year to the future of the program. Not playing with the MWC next year can be overcome by plugging in 3-4 power 4 teams. Virgina, UW, and OSU are on the schedule, plug in Cal or Stanford, a couple of big 12 teams and you have a decent schedule. The AD had mentioned they had talks with the ACC and Big 12, most thought it was about joining their league, it probably has more to do with scheduling at this point.
