Im going to say playing Gonzaga, Boise St. and former P5s is going to

outweigh any travel costs of staying in the sunbelt on exposure alone. They also will have a much better chance at a playoff spot as P12 > Sunbelt in terms of perception. Going undefeated in the Pac 12 will be evaluated higher than going undefeated in the Sunbelt 9 times out of 10.

Brett McMurphy nailed it, Terry Bradshaw might visit Howie Long & go to JMU

Man there r some brutal responses to his tweet, especially th time of games

I don't know why the move surprises you when the Pac-12 is perceived to be
VTHokie2000 • 06/27/25 09:27 AM ET
You don't need the quotes. PAC is better than Sun Belt
HokieAl • 06/27/25 02:10 PM ET
The only reason I did that is because it is still a highly subjective

Conference USA membership has changed a lot since those days.**

The Sun Belt’s TV deal pays more than CUSA’s**

True, but it is still surprising to see the decline of Conference USA and

Things are a changing, that is for sure. **

The 2 schools retained the Pac-12 name and the history associated with the

You are stating your opinion and not answering the factual questions I put
Stech • 06/27/25 03:09 PM ET
You will probably never get a satisfactory answer to your "fact finding"
VTHokie2000 • 06/27/25 05:31 PM ET
You have even tried, so you couldn’t possibly know, enough on this subject.**
Stech • 06/27/25 06:01 PM ET
What facts did you use to reach your conclusion that the Sun Belt is a
VTHokie2000 • 06/27/25 06:12 PM ET
You won’t answer my questions I did 1st, do that we can discuss, otherwise
Stech • 06/27/25 06:24 PM ET
Then it appears your conclusion was based more on opinion than fact and you

So, you think the Sun Belt is on par with the new PAC? **
Big12 guy • 06/27/25 03:59 PM ET
Whatever the PAC is now, what will it look like later? I can certainly see
IB4TECH • 06/27/25 07:22 PM ET
Answer my questions I’ve linked for you, and I will answer your question.
Stech • 06/27/25 05:29 PM ET
No one his right mind will spend the time looking

When you don’t have the facts, pound your fist and attack, next subject.**
Stech • 06/27/25 05:59 PM ET
You're basically doing the same thing.

I’m not sure either way, could be swayed with facts, honestly this topic is

You’ve a right to that opinion, it doesn’t answer my fact finding questions
Stech • 06/27/25 03:12 PM ET
You seem to be asking for answers that you surely know no one here has.
MP4VT2004 • 06/27/25 10:31 PM ET
A pretty strong move for Texas State considering it's limited history
