Programs that could be added:

1. SMU (TV Market rank: No. 6)
2. Tulane (TV Market rank: No. 50)
3. Rice (TV Market rank: No. 7)
4. USF (TV Market rank: No. 13)
5. Memphis (TV Market rank: No. 52)
6. Tulsa (TV Market rank: No. 62)
7. UTSA (TV Market rank: No. 31)

Travel would be so hard even if all of these teams got invited.

What is next for the

@pac12

? Talks with the

@MountainWest

as well the

@AmericanConf

&

@theACC

. Will it be possible for a merger that can keep it alive we G5 school's?

 

Man, I could see the PAC 4 bringing in MWC and AAC teams... 

 

And if we get left out again... missing a 3rd round of realignment would hurt... right in the soul.

I wish there was evidence to feel otherwise. I’m a regular on the Memphis board and they’re in as much denial as this group is.

You said death. Is Rice football dead? Tulsa? USF may not be where you want but there is zero evidence to suggest USF football is dying.

PAC4 meeting w/MWC tomorrow for merger discussions then immediately meeting with Apple and a few AAC schools to discuss expansion. Again all options are on the table but their preference is to expand and continue on.

Just don’t see USF in the PAC even like that. Just doesn’t seem like a USF thing. Who knows though.

Would this OCS look better on TV?  

Yes.  It at least says SMU.

So we want people to think the empty stadium is SMU?

FSU is approaching JP Morgan chase for a boost.

Can we sell our players to Blackrock?

So you're saying people look at the field and not the stands?

College football is an absolute joke now. Everything that I enjoyed is being taken away, and on top of it we suck.

I miss the BCS days and teams like Boise making noise.

Good to see USF popping up more on various scenarios. PAC or ACC it is more likely for USF if the dominos fall the right way.
