Best to start fresh and retire all the PAC records and branding.
What schools ?
Whatâs left of OG AAC has a nice deal considering the ceiling of the additions.
AAC an ESPNs cash cow - UH Hoop final 4s and UCF/Cinn FB runs, etc.
Memphis this year if they beat FSU next.
Would they break it up ?
Sunbelt SO salty w AAC & extra ESPN cable games. Army/ ECU/ Memphis/ Navy/ Tulane.
Those schools not leaving for less $.
AAC would be gone or TV $ gone.
I am thinking of schools like Memphis, UTSA and/or Tulane but they will not leave unless the Pac-12 helps them with exit fees.

They should add UNLV, UNT and Rice. Tulane and Memphis missing the cut would be fun

Pac 12 is going to wait to see if ESPN extends the ACC tv contract. If ESPN doesnât opt in by February 2025, ACC schools can go wherever they are invited.

Wonder why SMU is not included 
Because they would rather be with academic privates than that group.
Memphis and UNT (or UTSA) would be huge get. Does UTSA have a bigger budget than UNT?
UTSA is beyond brokeâŠnot sure how they can afford a buyout for a lateral G6 move

Theyâll have to beg Austin for it. UT may actually allow it.

Interesting.
$7.8 billion television contract, which begins in the 2026-27 season. Gould said the new agreement has a look-in provision.
The Pac-12 will be eligible for an automatic qualifying spot if they reach the eight-member mark.
So this pretty much kills Hawaii right? Unless they get PAC I dont see them sticking around playing what, UTEP and the the backfills from Montana, North Dakota and South Dakotas.
