Looks like PAC12 may have settled on Tulane, Memphis, USF, and UTSA
I'm seeing several posts, but nothing official as of yet.

This would devastate the Mountain West taking them below 8. I thought they were looking AAC to avoid that.

Also add UTSA, Tulane, Memphis and USF. Cal and Stanford in the Atlantic Coast Conference. South Florida in the Pacific 12 Conference. Makes perfect sense.

The new PAC positions their teams solidly between the G5 and the P4, but not enough to reject an P4 invite.
IMO, this is a great way to get plan B teams ready for whenever Clemson and FSU leave. Just pick up USF and Memphis from the PAC, and carry on. A few years in the new PAC, and those teams will be fantastic additions.
We just need to make sure they refuse to sign for massive new PAC exit penalties and a long-term GOR. In fact, that might be the hold up keeping those teams from joining the new PAC already. Maybe they are balking at massive new exit fees. They are no dummies, I'm sure, and at this point everyone is savvy to GORs.

want. If the ACC decides they want USF if FSU leaves, all they have to do is pick up the phone. FSU will have no issues whether they have exit fees, or not. The same goes for any current G5 program in the country, including WSU and OSU. It's not even a concern.

Hopefully they don't take it down.

Think that is a fake account
Check the spelling of Athletic on the account

I was disappointed because I'd like to see the ACC get USF. So maybe they released that too soon.

it was a great atmosphere. Plus, they have never been considered for the ACC, and I think they have been rooked for decades.

They do have a passionate football fan base. ECU vs WVU could be a very good rivalry game, and stick it to the basketball centric Tobacco Road teams in North Carolina.

It wouldn't bother them at all
