the AAC, but needs to decide by today if they want to join the PAC-12... Sorry, couldn't resist.... there's only so many chances to pull this joke.  |

Me too. No desire to see the league footprint expanded beyond the Mountain time zone.
But I realized a long time ago, they gladly take my money but have no interest whatsoever in my opinion.
That's part of the reason they don't get anywhere near as much of my money as they used to.

Interesting to see UTSA might still be in play if the others fall through. I still would like to see 2 divisions large enough to limit cross country travel to a minimum. People have been complaining about east coast bias for decades, we finally might have a plan to help fix it and people complain. The Pac 12 having a footprinf in the east would up the sportswriter coverage bigtime. |

So assume the play now will be to get UNLV and Air Force and stay there?

Gonzaga is in. Huge get. Should make it easier to get the final two football schools.

That's part of the reason they don't get anywhere near as much of my money as they used to. And several years ago could have brought in Texas and Oklahoma to the pac12. I guess since they are east of the mountain time zone that would have been a dumb move. It was a dumb move not to. |

Memphis and Tulane are not Oklahoma and Texas. |

Now add UNLV for Vegas footprint and potential.
Do not add Utah State under any circumstances. There is no place for that school in the Pac-12 after all the garbage that has come out in recent years.
No more MWC teams after UNLV. Absolutely not worth the money. Go into Texas for the eighth team to make it official (unless Gonzaga is willing to throw a football program together, lol) and then wait.

From what Barnes said they want 9 football schools so they can have 8 conference and 4 nonconference games.
I wonder how much a basketball school like Gonzaga helps with the TV revenue?

If UTSA is out, I am not sure there is another Texas team worth getting... |
