Do we have any interest in being in the Pac X?  If UCONN and USF join we are both prior BCS schools.  Might carry some weight.

 

I don't think it would make enough money to make the cross country trip worthwhile for USF and UConn. 

It also seems likely that if the PAC 2 are stuck as demoted G5 teams, they will only rebuild with the full MWC. The scheduling agreement makes it expensive for the PAC 2 to add only some MWC teams instead of all of them. And so if they're forced to take all 12, that puts the new PAC at 14 which is plenty big. No need to expand further.

They should call the conference the x-pac

The networks must be crawling all over themselves to sign 2Pac and the MWC. Wyoming v. Wazzu is must watch tv.

Actually Wyoming is pretty cool.  That could be a great game.

No fault of their own?

It is precisely their own fault nobody wants them. Feelings getting the way of facts.

FSU sure complains a lot about their choice to be in the ACC and take slightly less money. (I know the gap will be getting larger)

Their specialty is complaining.

I would hope it is something we would consider. Lets say WSU, OSU, Boise State, UNLV, San Diego  State, Fresno State, Colorado State, USF, Tulane, Memphis, ECU,UTSA Navy, Army, and Air Force.  Not a bad conference in my opinion, both basketball and football. Loads better than our current situation, and would at the very least be Power 5 light.

Also I believe travel costs will be of set since I believe that Boise State, Air Force, and San Diego State will draw much better than Tulsa, Rice, North Texas and Charlotte.  And how much longer is flying to Boise compared to Tulsa? Also I imagine a road trip to Las Vegas will be much more fun than a road trip to Tulsa.  Be in the top 3 in this conference, and you are probably ranked. Win the conference and you are going to the playoffs

Also look at all the Mountain West teams that have been ranked in men's basketball. Many dropped out, but many are still NCAAT bubble teams

Don't see U Conn going though since they are happy in the Big East.

Personally I would love to see us in a new Pac.
