They have a home. They should keep it going

At this point I hope the PAC 4 stay together and keep the PAC alive. Focus on non-rev sports and play as independent football until they can figure things out. Their best move is to not let football ruin things for them. It will mean some pain for their football teams but all other sports still have access to NCAA championships. Don’t get sucked into the ACC drama and have to deal with all this again in a few years.

On3: As their cruel summer continues, where do Pac-12 schools turn next?
Will StewartAdmin • 08/11/23 08:19 AM ET
Tell ND the ACC will add Stanford and Cal if they join too.
Hokester • 08/11/23 01:22 PM ET
Agree 1000%**
NativeBurger • 08/11/23 02:42 PM ET
I think they should stay home.

LOL Swarbrick you won't add 1 more game to help them!! Look in the mirror!!
Stech • 08/11/23 10:18 AM ET
Maybe Swarbrick should look at the University of Chicago which is a

I agree the whole Swarbrick fiasco was very tone deaf and hypocritical. But

Are you talking about the negotiations between Jack Swarbrick,
WBGV • 08/11/23 05:00 PM ET
At this point, every statement being made is posturing for something
Vienna_Hokie • 08/11/23 11:08 AM ET
Yep, I have negotiated both sports & business agreements, so much posturing
Stech • 08/11/23 11:24 AM ET
You nailed it on the last line why IMHO they won't add a 6th game, but
Stech • 08/11/23 10:43 AM ET
I agree. Thankfully the ACC teams have finally woken up! Yeah!!!**

HokieAl • 08/11/23 09:47 AM ET
Maybe if the Pac-4 do as you say, why not invite a few FCS schools looking
Maroon Baboon • 08/11/23 12:26 PM ET
By NCAA rules, they would need to add either 3 or 4 teams by 2024.
Atlee Hokie • 08/11/23 12:24 PM ET
I think it's six teams. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Maroon Baboon • 08/11/23 12:35 PM ET
I know it used to be six teams, and probably still is.**
RJHokie • 08/11/23 12:40 PM ET
I would totally watch Oregon State at Montana (bucket list stadium)**
Maroon Baboon • 08/11/23 12:48 PM ET
While you in that neck of the woods, pick up the Kibbie Dome. **

The last line says it all
MrBayAreaHokie • 08/11/23 09:38 AM ET
Well, if ND we’re actually in a conference for football…
JLM-Hokie • 08/11/23 09:22 AM ET
There are a million different possible permeations out there but
Vippie1 • 08/11/23 09:02 AM ET
I think that The B1G will continue to add Western programs, but the ones
33laszlo99 • 08/11/23 12:41 PM ET
If they were keeping a spot open for Stanford and Cal, why not take them
wwhokie1 • 08/11/23 09:57 AM ET
Bingo. Keeping schools on the back burner hurts the back burner school.
Maroon Baboon • 08/11/23 12:10 PM ET
Precisely, why diminish their value if you have plans to add them?
obguthr • 08/11/23 10:14 AM ET
Sometimes the conference needs to take a desirable team when the team is

1) OSU-nw & WSU should just apply to MWC and get it over with,
Atlee Hokie • 08/11/23 08:57 AM ET
Would also prefer Oregon State and Wazzu if all other things were equal
Maroon Baboon • 08/11/23 02:54 PM ET
There should be zero concessions made to FSU. Even if the ACC someshow

Yep, FSU has always had an enormous ego.
