PAC12 will ride again...
LonghornHokie • 09/12/24 02:45 AM ET
Don't they need 8 to be a "conference"?
Victor Tango • 09/12/24 09:30 AM ET
To 6To get Auto-Bids to NCAA tournaments.
HOO86 • 09/12/24 05:34 PM ET
FWIW in order to qualify as a DI-FBS conference in football, a conference
VTHokie2000 • 09/12/24 08:10 PM ET
Ok. That's more than other sports.
HOO86 • 09/12/24 08:46 PM ET
It looks like they will take some time to try to get even better.
Truthahn • 09/12/24 03:15 PM ET
The conference is in the first of a two-year grace period afforded by NCAA**
pburg_hokie • 09/12/24 09:45 AM ET
Yes, need 2 more, Cal & Stanford don’t make much money 4,7 yrs in the ACC.
Stech • 09/12/24 09:44 AM ET
Cal & Stanford could have put that together rather than leave
HOO86 • 09/12/24 05:42 PM ET
Cal and Stanford?**
EDGEMAN • 09/12/24 09:38 AM ET
Cal's latest billboard looks like they are happy in the ACC.
HOO86 • 09/13/24 09:22 AM ET
It would be awesome if the ACC could jettison that dead weight-
Baltimore_Hokie • 09/12/24 10:06 AM ET
They're only getting 30% of a share for 7 years.
Pylons • 09/12/24 10:58 AM ET
Exactly **
Stech • 09/12/24 12:42 PM ET
Sounds good to me**
pburg_hokie • 09/12/24 09:45 AM ET
Re-brand to 6-PAC(k), Bud or Modelo Primary Sponsor..done deal:-)**
VT757to276 • 09/12/24 09:25 AM ET
add 2 more State U and rename PAC-12 to United States Conference** ◄
Windows NT • 09/12/24 09:01 AM ET
I nominate New Mexico St. and Texas St.**
Pylons • 09/12/24 09:48 AM ET
Florida State should apply**
Windows NT • 09/12/24 10:13 AM ET
Maybe Notre Dame State too! They're struggling as well. 😂😂😂**
Pylons • 09/12/24 10:16 AM ET
they should add Sandford and Cal . great fits. **
VT Pez4Life • 09/12/24 08:43 AM ET
The ACC Grant of Rights may have something to say about that**
CobbCountyHokie • 09/12/24 03:07 PM ET
Actually they're absolutely terrible fits in every way except geography.**
neworleanshoo • 09/12/24 01:58 PM ET
Hopefully once the lawsuits end**
Colonel Jessup • 09/12/24 08:55 AM ET
That’s already circulating, Stanford & Cal go back, UCONN & USF join ACC,
Stech • 09/12/24 08:55 AM ET
Would Stan and Cal really leave a Power conference? ....
hokietony • 09/12/24 12:34 PM ET
Not saying it’s going to happen, but they won’t make 💵 in the ACC 4 7 yrs.**
Stech • 09/12/24 12:40 PM ET
We add UConn...time to shut it down...**
tcc_dc • 09/12/24 10:22 AM ET
Basketball not good enough for you 🤣, seriously why do you say that?**
Stech • 09/12/24 12:23 PM ET
No to UCONN, yes to UCF (see what I did there)
EDGEMAN • 09/12/24 09:39 AM ET
USF is an AAU member and that fact gets a lot of run in the Tampa Bay area**
CobbCountyHokie • 09/12/24 03:08 PM ET
Look at how University Presidents think, they vote for expansion.
Stech • 09/12/24 09:51 AM ET
They also know that athletic conference membership doesn't matter
Pylons • 09/12/24 10:22 AM ET
Did know you would say that 🤣, it’s different depending on the conference
Stech • 09/12/24 11:48 AM ET
Sure, it's talked about more by conferences with better schools
Pylons • 09/12/24 11:58 AM ET
Agreed, but some of these Presidents that vote don’t feel the same. Tech’s
Stech • 09/12/24 12:13 PM ET
Why in the world would land grant have anything to do with this?
Pylons • 09/12/24 12:22 PM ET
I’m not saying it should, but I have dealt with both cultures, and they
Stech • 09/12/24 12:38 PM ET
What I find most interesting about the Big Ten's "academic argument" is
VTHokie2000 • 09/13/24 12:01 AM ET
ND recently got AAU status. **
Big12 guy • 09/13/24 09:23 AM ET
Yes, I noted it in my post (see the very last sentence).**
VTHokie2000 • 09/13/24 09:44 AM ET
I too was surprised the B1G didn’t take Stanford and Cal, Expansion never
Stech • 09/13/24 08:44 AM ET
Given that NoCal and SoCal are completely different worlds, it would have
VTHokie2000 • 09/13/24 09:00 AM ET
Guessing they didn’t have th Presidents votes to take both & they
Stech • 09/13/24 09:54 AM ET
I have worked for both private and public universities
Pylons • 09/12/24 01:01 PM ET
I’m going to shock you…
Stech • 09/12/24 01:34 PM ET
Good for them. Unfortunately they don't have many options
HokieAl • 09/12/24 08:38 AM ET
Looking at the media contracts, they have as much chance of
Big12 guy • 09/12/24 08:46 AM ET
All the top G5 brands are taken. Which means PAC should be strategic
HokieAl • 09/12/24 09:19 AM ET
The 4 they are getting from the Mountain west were "taken" as
Big12 guy • 09/12/24 11:49 AM ET
I think you misunderstand
HokieAl • 09/12/24 12:07 PM ET
I did misunderstand. As far as the PAC attracting any AAC school,
Big12 guy • 09/12/24 12:14 PM ET
Yes it does. It absolutely makes sense If they want to position
Big12 guy • 09/12/24 09:26 AM ET
If those 4 do indeed announce, then there will easily be a couple that
Big12 guy • 09/12/24 07:05 AM ET
UNLV, Nevada, New Mexico...**
mancunian • 09/12/24 08:41 AM ET
USF, Tulane, Memphis, and any other G5 school that wants to set themselves
Big12 guy • 09/12/24 08:50 AM ET
I was thinking "who else?" in the MWC
mancunian • 09/12/24 09:07 AM ET
I think that is the core group
obguthr • 09/12/24 07:15 AM ET
Why don't you think it will work? You have two "power conference" schools,
Big12 guy • 09/12/24 07:30 AM ET
For the AAC it's a lateral move
obguthr • 09/12/24 07:48 AM ET
On Greg Flugaur's live show yesterday...
33laszlo99 • 09/12/24 11:37 AM ET
It would be virtually impossible to build a power conference out of G5
Big12 guy • 09/12/24 07:56 AM ET
Isn’t that what the B12 when Texas & OU left? The 4 Corners came later, but
Stech • 09/12/24 08:49 AM ET
They grabbed the best available, for sure. Any G5 school is available
Big12 guy • 09/12/24 08:51 AM ET
Just remember Cal & Stanford don’t make much money in the ACC for 7 years.**
Stech • 09/12/24 09:52 AM ET
They are probably losing money with the ACC travel expenses.**
RJHokie • 09/12/24 09:55 AM ET
The Corona 6 Pac Conference
Millpoint • 09/12/24 06:09 AM ET
Pacifico 6 Pac **
Vippie1 • 09/13/24 09:45 AM ET
Even better!**
Millpoint • 09/13/24 02:42 PM ET
Texas State to continue the schtick.**
obguthr • 09/12/24 06:17 AM ET
They might as well also get Arkansas State and Utah State
HokieAl • 09/12/24 09:21 AM ET
The 6-PAC**
