Re: PAC 12 update
From the latest McMurphy update regarding Hawaii joining MW as a full member:
“The Pac-12 has put its expansion plans on pause, sources said. The Pac-12 won’t add any more schools until its media rights evaluation is completed. That process could take up to three months, a source said.”
Still gonna be a minute looks like.

Re: PAC 12 update
NIU & Toledo would be smoking crack to take that deal! Who are they going to join in Oly-sports????
BTW I'm good with us checking on media partners as to who they want us to target, that means there will be money backing it!!!!

Missouri Valley, summit league or A10 are all good non basketball conferences that they could park their teams in.

Re: PAC 12 update
With these rumors of NIU and Toledo being looked at just destroys my thinking that the MAC was the most stable conference out there. A lot of those teams have been together for a long time.

Toledo would be an eastern outlier by 200 miles from Valpo - but that's not much different than their 250+ mile southwestern outlier of Missouri St

Re: PAC 12 update
Are they done? Does adding more schools dilute revenue or protect the conference?

Re: PAC 12 update
Let's be honest here: this was a hostage negotiation, not a mutually beneficial arrangement. The MWC teams don't want to fly their sports programs to Hawaii, and Hawaii doesn't want to have to fly to El Paso, Laramie (well, no worries you'll be driving from Denver), Colorado Springs, ABQ, Reno or LV! Hawaii had it good in the BW, they could take two flights, one to LA and one to the Bay Area, and knock out several games via bus circuit. That will be challenging now. And for what? A minor increase in revenue (maybe)?

Re: PAC 12 update
It sounds like they are talking to some MAC schools about the possibility of joining as a football-only member, presumably 9 teams is much better than 8 for a football conference. It seems optimistic to think that any MAC team is going to want to make what is at best a lateral move from the stable MAC to be a geographic outlier in the unstable MWC. But who knows?trevordude wrote: ↑October 15th, 2024, 2:10 pmAre they done? Does adding more schools dilute revenue or protect the conference?

Re: PAC 12 update
Yeah, I would like to think that whoever makes these decisions crunched the numbers and concluded that adding Hawaii as a full member was the least bad option. But it's not obvious to me that the additional travel costs from flying your non-revenue sports to Hawaii are going to be less than the amount you lose from sharing your conference revenue with New Mexico State or Sacramento State. I would guess that NMSU would add basically zero TV viewers to a conference that already has New Mexico and UTEP, but Sacramento State and Tarleton State don't add enough TV sets to break even? I have to wonder if Sacramento State told the MWC that they want either the PAC or nothing. If I were the MWC and desperately needed another school or two, you could do a lot worse than a successful FCS program in a large market with basically zero competition from other college or professional teams.ViAggie wrote: ↑October 15th, 2024, 2:38 pmLet's be honest here: this was a hostage negotiation, not a mutually beneficial arrangement.

Re: PAC 12 update
Because there is no news here’s my ranked list of schools most likely to elevate the Pac-12 to Power Five (P5) status, based on their potential impact and the percent likelihood they will join the PAC.
1.) SMU (30%) – Adds Texas market and strong academic/athletic programs.
2.) Memphis (25%) – Boosts competitiveness.
3.) Cal (20%) – Prestigious academics and historical ties to the Pac-12.
4.) Stanford (20%) – Prestigious academics athletics and historical ties to the Pac-12.
5.) UNLV (5%) – Provides access to the Las Vegas market

Keeping the MWC stable. That's what's in it. Football drives the bus, they really had no other choice.

Re: PAC 12 update
Hawaii joined because they were given the chance to be a member of one conference instead of two, the Mountain West is a better conference top to bottom than the Big West, with $0 subsidies, and staff now only answers to one conference instead of juggling meetings between two, and the payout is bigger.StanfordAggie wrote: ↑October 15th, 2024, 2:48 pmYeah, I would like to think that whoever makes these decisions crunched the numbers and concluded that adding Hawaii as a full member was the least bad option.

SMU literally negotiated that bad deal themselves. They said to themselves, "hey, we can sustain ourselves for 9 years with no compensation from the league's media deal".
