The thing is, the AAC pays more now, but we don’t get a full share currently and when it comes up again for renewal with the networks, I’d be shocked if it’s anywhere as high as it is now. I expect that Memphis will be in the ACC or Big 12 within the next 5 years. And they’re the only brand that has any cachet to it in the national media. So the PAC gives us better names for football and especially in basketball. That last point alone makes it worth it, as that sport is the only one we can make national noise in still. But we won’t do it. That’s taking on unknown revenues and we only run on known costs.

Fair enough. I just thought you originally were saying that you thought they were gonna do something proactive here…I just don’t see it happening, not with the culture this place leads with.

Ok. The guy who covers the PAC better than anyone says that we haven’t even had talks with them. None. An administration that decided to tell the entire world that they’d rather host a faculty luncheon than help their athletic department host a home game against a power league team… An athletic department that can’t get more people to show up for a team that finished second in the AAC in hoops. An athletic department that saw an instate team from 4 hours away clearly outdraw our team’s fans in a bowl game less than an hour away from campus and surrounded by hundreds of thousands of alums within that same hour radius… Yeah, I’m sure the administration is really playing 4-D chess here. Probably acting like they hate athletics just to turn around and get us into the best G5 conference. Im sure that there’s no way we just stay in the AAC, while we watch some combo of TX State and UTSA represent the state out west… I swear, this site has some serious dreams about who we are. If you’ll listen and watch, you’ll see pretty easily what they think about athletics around here, they being the administration, faculty, students, alumni, and local citizenry.

Guys, it doesn’t matter. We aren’t going out west. The administration hasn’t even talked to them. That’s from the biggest source out west that has covered the PAC for decades. https://www.johncanzano.com/p/canzano-next-pac-12-expansion-bite

I’d suggest not canceling anymore home games for faculty fajita luncheons…that would probably help

Hodge didn’t expect kudos for finishing the job here. He did it because it was the right thing to do in his mind. I’d imagine you didn’t walk out of the DPD at the moment you got your next job.

I’m sure it will get answered real soon…

Well, he’s getting paid $3 million dollars a year…and he’s gonna play conference games in a sold out coliseum. Unlike ours that will cause people to feel euphoric when we get crowds over 4000.

I wonder how he will feel when WVU moves a home NIT game to serve the faculty a squirrel-fajita spread?

Too late for this fanbase

And they have about 30 fans

Canzano: Next Pac-12 expansion bite getting a little clarity Probably the journalist with the most connections out west is John Canzano. For those of you, like me, who think this Pac idea would be great for us and Texas State to do together, well, as usual, you'll come to realize that you want this more than the university does. You cannot want more for a university as a fan than its leadership wants...

That’s a given

t’s gonna get much uglier in the future. The administration is mad at how the 2% has stirred up the media and made them look like the apathetic idiots they are for UNT sports. They’ll get some more revenge in the years ahead.

Its basically what the CFB playoffs have become--a bunch of power schools that have all of the advantages. Look at the NIT--this is what a Cinderella Tournament would look like if was the NCAA Tournament
