I think big12 may use us again

Their commissioner is in the process of meeting with remainder of Pac as well as SDSU due to their approval to 18 school. So seemingly may invite 1-2 of us on unknown deals for the ESPN directive to get west coast markets.

However, we will be working on merging with MW at exact same time. It makes no sense for Pac to pull less than the amount required to dissolve MW, to get rid of their buyout clauses. Otherwise we are paying tens on million per school.

Here’s where we get played again. Big12 commissioner holds off until Pac and MW begin merger, after MW has dissolved their charter, and there is no longer a buyout. SDSU then says FU to the merger and goes B12 in the span of a few hours only buying into the merger to absolve their buyout.

My hope is we can salvage the Pac12. If we can’t this is the next best option.

The Pac”12” is going to be salvaged with AAC schools and MW schools. Too much capital both CFP and, despite the narrative, TV deal for smaller schools. I just think Big12 might back door SDSU from the deal while leading us to believe something may happen.

Whatever then. They can have SDSU. The Aztecs sold 11K season tickets last year and as a city, San Diego generally doesn’t care about their local sports teams.

The conference shuffling game is here to stay. Lengthy GOR deals are a thing of the past. WSU needs to survive and build their brand as best we can. Make it known that we are a Seattle alumni base.

They'd love the SoCal market for sure. SDSU is worth a good payout now.

I had similar thoughts. I can see them adding SDSU, UConn and possibly Gonzaga for hoops only.

I think there's a decent chance the Big 12 really is open to WSU. I have little doubt SDSU is what they really want, even if just to say they're in SoCal, but neither of the Bay Area teams is a good fit for the Big 12, I don't see Fresno or anything like that being all that attractive, and the Washington / Seattle / Puget Sound market is much more attractive than Portland or whatever the Beavs are supposed to bring. I view the Beavs as our biggest issue here, sadly, assuming they aren't enamored with UConn, which they probably are due to the basketball brand and having that little place called the New York area as part of their footprint.

Salvage the pac, adding as much as we can. The academic snobbery has to end. Make the beavs our season ending rivalry game

The problem is that Stanford doesn’t care. They’ll go independent before they agree to a conference with Boise, Fresno etc.

Maybe adding Rice and SMU will appease them and open them up to add a couple of state schools named after cities?

Screw ‘furd’. Make our own way forward in new PAC conference.
