Ok, your right. They would be better off getting Ohio State.
Who do you propose? They already took the teams from the MWC they want. The AAC is not losing teams to them. The MAC? no. That leaves CUSA and Sunbelt. From there, Texas is the best state to expand into (as noted by my previous comments). SHSU already turned them down I think. UTEP is even worse.
What is your solution for the conference that needs a D1 football team to commit in the next couple months so they can give notice and join the PAC by next summer?
Memphis wants out of The American, but even their AD was on TV saying money will be the main factor.
Sun Belt TV deal I found pays $2.5M per school. So I can see Texas St. jumping if $8 million per school is the actual deal for the PAC.
I found the AAC current TV deal pays $6.94M per school. Would the extra $1.06M be enough to get Memphis, Tulane, or UTSA to leave the AAC when you add in exit fees and travel costs?
Please correct me if any of these numbers are wrong.
Why are our fans so invested in another schoolâs success? Why would would we want them to better their brand? It makes no sense to me. But then again, there are so many ut and aggie fans on here too. Anyways, If I were the Pac, I wouldnât come to Texas. No need to. My opinion.
If you just want all other schools to suck and only have UH good, that is fine. I think it makes for a boring sport. I would rather see good competition on the field and beat the best opponents. It is the SEC/B1G way to try to beat your opponents by buying the win before playing which is very lame.
Also more college football fans outside of the two ânameâ conferences is better for the sport as a whole.
PAC can stay west but then they would never improve with the exposure from having a more eastern team. Same way the MWC hit their main years was after getting a Texas school to improve exposure east of the Rockies. Staying west is part of why the PAC faded away in the first place. Repeating the problem is a quick way to fail again.
For me, I like seeing other good schools. I have no regards for schools that just win over teams that canât compete. I value the sport as a whole getting better by having more good schools and more fans (not in SEC/B1G as they do not want a level playing field)
Iâm guessing the former, but thatâs pretty stupid, if true. Why do people have to announce something like that? Itâs not as though it stops anyone from posting. Is announcing that in an almost passive-aggressive way supposed to faze me somehow?
So apparently the President of Sacramento State did an AMA on Reddit yesterday and said that the schools main goal is to get Big XII
Yes. Big12 is the stretch goal. But there are many great conferences out there. That said, I really like the idea of us being independent with a scheduling agreement. Notre Dame is independent and has a scheduling agreement with the ACC. Sacramento state could be independent and have a scheduling agreement with a big name conference too. Itâs absolutely doable. Our exit fee looks totally different than most other institutions. And, we have one of the best medium markets in the country. So we will leverage this market to create resources that benefit students and Alumni.
TX State clearly doesnât feel like $4M per year (half share) is worth leaving the Belt where they make $2.5M. Theyâd have higher travel costs and possibly NIL commitments but itâs an investment. It paid off in spades for SMU.
