I hate the idea of joining the AAC. Not enough money to justify that kind of travel. That being said, if Oregon State and Washington State could add their best 6 teams to our conference for 2024 with the goal of adding Mountain West schools the year after, I could get behind that. For me, it would have to work for us to basically add all of the Mountain West schools though. If that conference is broken up, those teams have no place to go. The AAC teams that get left out would still have Conference USA and the Sun Belt as fall back options (Not that they'd be happy about that). At this point, as reality has started to set in, I'm fine with competing with the teams in the Mountain West. The only part that's really difficult for me is that the current momentum of the football team would be gone. If this would have happened while Anderpants was here, I wouldn't be that upset about falling into the Mountain West. I really hope that Jonathan Smith just loves Corvallis so much that he's willing to stick it out even after a probable pay cut (I'm obviously dreaming hear). If they could retain Smith, I'd feel ok with competing in the MWC even though there would be a mass exodus from the current roster. Yeah thats why we need to merge with the MWC (all of it) but under the name image likeness of the Pac 12. Its a bump up for them, and we don't end up being a-holes like the dirty 8 are. Everybody has a home and with any luck a decent media deal that allows us to keep sports/coaches/players like we have now... Conferences don’t have “name, image and likeness”. You’re mixing your college football problems. |

Did we read the same article? I didn't see anything in there whatsoever that points to anything other than the MWC declaring an intention to try and strengthen their relative standing. |

Doesn't mean alot in my opinion. Just states they are wanting to expand. Not saying it isn't going to happen. I would hope the pac would expand. Anything can happen. I just hope it is well thought out and is explained to everyone why they went that way in the end |
