isn't the Pac-2 conference schedule 1 game? The conference champion will be 1-0; 2nd place will be 0-1?

at least they weren't insane enough to have a conference championship game

Why the f' not? The NFL has each team play their conference rivals twice. I'd have no problem if OSU and WSU did. Those would actually be good games to see.
 
easy choice for Gonzaga since they will be getting a full share of Pac-X media revenue without having a football team. They might make up for that since conferences get about 2M per NCAA March Madness units. Gonzaga has been generating around 6-7M/year for a while now
 
it makes sense for the MWC to make a move into Texas. Geographically for sure, and those two schools seem like good fits in athletics as well

not so much sense for the Pac-X to move into Texas although there were a lot of rumors the Pac-X was trying to land Texas State. They may have been severely low-balling Texas St. like they did to the 4 AAC teams they were courting. The collapse of the Pac-12 was in large part due to hubris and overrating their own prestige and leverage. Kind of looks like the Pac-7 is still guilty of those sins

I don't know where the Pac-7 will turn for the 8th team. It seemed like the only two viable candidates were Texas St. and Sacramento St. with the Pac-7 really loathe to add Sac St.

doing the math, it looks like the MWC is getting a media deal in the 45-50M/year range; maybe a little more. Be interesting to see by how much the Pac-X beats that deal
 
What the fuck is Texas State? I honestly had never even heard of that school. What in god’s name is going on with all this re-alignment. This shit is all so lame. I could care less about the BIG12 or 20 or whatever they are.

But I thought it was bad when teams fled their conferences for greener pastures? NOW it’s ok?

Destroying a conference with 100+ years of history is a little different than one wanting to play in a bigger conference and not gutting the one they are leaving behind.

IF Texas State is serious about the investments they've been making the past few years, than they could have something good brewing especially with their location being right in the middle of Austin and San Antonio. None of the other Texas teams are for the taking that are any good and the Bobcats seemingly have a better future than schools like Rice, North Texas or UTEP. I'd say UTSA is the best of the bunch left in Texas but they refuse to jump with the other AAC schools.

I still think Texas State is a dark horse and has been putting some $$$ into their program, with their geography, they could be ready for a bump up. I admit to being a little biased though living only 180 miles away, wanting for an easier trip to see the Cougs plus a good chunk of the wife's family (including her) went to Texas State, making for a fun family rivalry!

Listen sheriff, the only reason you even know what Texas State is, is because you live in that god forsaken hell hole of a state.

dark horse to go back on an agreement with the MWC and go to the Pac?

Not a hell hole but definitely not my first choice of a state to live, but until I can convince the wife to scoot on to somewhere else, it will do. Life is all about perspective, you have yours, I have mine. It's ok to admit others know more about a litany of subjects than you do, and believe it or not I had heard of the university before coming down here.

But you think the Dons is a big name school with its 10k students?

Texas State has over 40k students and is in a great location just south of Austin with a river that runs through the campus. Students jump in at graduation or float in a tube down it for fun in the summer. President LBJ is an alumni. The school has been working aggressively on a path to become an R1 research university which is likely to be finalized in the next few years. My wife is a professor at Texas State - so I'm obviously bias.

Austin is a really cool city to live in. I got burned out of PDX a decade ago and moved to Texas. Yeah it's hot here 4 months of the year but it's great 8 months. Compared to PDX with it's 4 months of great weather and 8 months of crap.

Tons of great things with both states and I still spend a lot of time in both.
