interesting question; one comment Pac 12 will not be a Power 4 conference

Power 4 branding for Cal and Stanford is big for them. Perception-wide. I dont know if Cal and Stanford want to be in a conference such as Fresno State, Boise State.

I don't think so. they just got the top 4 brands from the Mountain West. I

Time may not be on the Pac-X's side though. Particularly if they end up
VTHokie2000 • 09/12/24 08:21 PM ET
I also don’t think they have much time. First goal is to get to 8 teams

I think your view on this is a bit biased. The fact that

When did I ever say that either school was a candidate for the Big XII?

OK, you didn't explicitly state that about New Mexico of UNLV, but even

WRT the reasons why UNLV isn't on the ACC's radar, I will give you the ONE

Right. A valid reason in the old days. It's why the original PAC12

What you either don't understand or seem to be missing is that for the ACC
VTHokie2000 • 09/13/24 09:43 AM ET
I understand. The ACC is academically superior to the SEC
Big12 guy • 09/13/24 09:50 AM ET
I was merely responding to your statement, "A valid reason in the old days"
VTHokie2000 • 09/13/24 09:54 AM ET
The old PAC12 certainly did. **

Academics could end up being the reason that Cal and Stanford don't end up

I don't think that is what the new PAC is going for. **

Hawai'i would be a likely candidate. Unless something has changed recently

FWIW the rules clearly state that if the Pac-X wants to still be considered

2 things 1) quality for a D1 FBS and be a power 4

I believe the Pac has already lost its power conference status. At least
VTHokie2000 • 09/13/24 09:12 AM ET
Their brand is the PAC 12. **

Oh, they entertained it. It was included as an option in the scheduling
33laszlo99 • 09/12/24 07:15 PM ET
Nope-this is a relegationmove by Boise, Fresno, SDSU CSU
PadrosWindup • 09/12/24 06:28 PM ET
UNLV, Memphis, Texas State, and San Jose State or Nevada would round it out**
Baltimore_Hokie • 09/13/24 10:24 AM ET
Well I'm taking State to dominate the new PAC**
Vippie1 • 09/12/24 03:44 PM ET
Sounds like maybe Dr. Pepper is sponsoring the conference. **

I assume it is the same as everyone else.
HOO86 • 09/12/24 03:39 PM ET
I would think UNLV was high on their list. I wonder if they are holding out

Right now, I think, The PAC just wants to get an eight-team conference
33laszlo99 • 09/12/24 06:07 PM ET
I think their dream scenario is the four from the AAC.

USF's value may in part be depended upon having UCF in the same conference.

Maybe, but when the B12 invited USC and not USF, they did

Why would the Big XII want UNLV?
