Get to 8 and wait. There will be plenty of quality nomads if we are patient.

maybe a no on GU? /photo/1 Maybe he jumped the gun, but it's going to happen. They would profit by being in a league with SDSU, CSU and BSU, all which have been very good in basketball lately. The WCC is GU, SMC and no one else of consequence until GCU arrives, and who knows how long they can keep that up. |

After the epic sh*t sandwich the PAC caused today, the Zags are a far more no than yes to the PAC. We are in the national stupid column right now. |

Boise, SDSU, CSU and WSU earned eight units at the 2024 NCAA MBB tournament. That's 8x$330,000 ($2,640,000) every year for the next six years. The WCC other than Gonzaga earned one. The future money is in the Pac-2/6/9, not the WCC.
Follow the money. Gonzaga with a full Pac-2/6/9 share would be stupid to remain in the WCC. So they won't. Just have some patience.

With the payouts for football tourney being s%#te for mid majors and the decrease in tv deals leveraging basketball makes way more sense than it used to for conferences. Until they start locking the lower leagues out of the tourney that is better money for mid conferences than football. That is not really true for individual teams but it is for conference profits.

Someone explain to my why Utah State is favored over Nevada-Reno. I'm going to go with men's basketball. Investment in the total athletic program. USU has spent millions on facility improvements and program support in the past decade, a process started by Barnes when he was the AD there. And a much-larger TV market. Nevada's football stadium would embarrass any number of Texas high schools. |

Nevada's football stadium would embarrass any number of Texas high schools. Yeah, I was getting at the idea that Utah State having an excellent mbb program might also serve as a draw for Gonzaga. TV is not that relevant IMO. The Aggies are a distant third after Utah and BYU. But investment in the program is important, for sure. |
