TX State to the PAC 2?
Good is relative. Good compared to the Big10 and SEC. Well, no. So, we saw what happened. The schools that dictate a BIG10/SEC media deal (eyeballs, market, whatever) took their ball and and went somewhere they were going to be paid their market value. The second tier PAC schools were gobbled up by the Big12 and the historical losers limped into the ACC. But just because the old PAC didn't get a SEC/Big10 type offer doesn't mean that a newly formed PAC will not surpass the current AAC deal of 7ishM. I promise you that the teams forming the current PAC will get north of that. I can also promise you that the AAC when negotiation time comes around will get less. The PAC is clearly positioning themselves to be the best non-P2(4) conference in the country and a very, very viable basketball league. I don't know what about this is even debatable. Also, and as previously stated, our brands (the teams that draw eyeballs when they are on TV) will be leaving the AAC before the AAC gets to the negotiating table in 2031ish. You speak of building like we're adding a br onto a single-family home and calling it a forever home. What brands are we going to attract? None. The dust has settled outside of the PAC trying to survive. The ACC will be the next hand to fall. No one is going to budge that believes they (Memphis & Tulane) will be going into a new formed ACC, similar to what the Big12 has done. They know they are going. It could happen as early as this summer. This is why they both said no thank you to the PAC. We need to go to the PAC or we will be in a conference with LaTech, ULM, Arkansas State, and probably Rice... as our regional teams. Questions for you... What makes you believe that a Tulane and Memphis-less conference is going to out negotiate the PAC with a baketball blueblood* and strong basketball and football programs everywhere you look? Where are we building? Who is coming? What kind of resources are being dumped into their programs to truly elevate the AAC brand? What is the AAC doing to elevate beyond the fold as they were doing with their old big12 brands? *I think we can call the Zags a blueblood nowadays, or no? -

Nothing to do with it. When our athletic department lifts a finger and TRIES, there is always a boost in attendance.- 2

It's not a zero sum game. The problem can both be that students and locals aren't putting in the effort to be connected to their university just as much as the AD doesn't market or promote anything. One can be controlled and the other cannot.- 1

What's your solution if Memphis and Tulane leave in a couple years and our next deal is CUSA level?- 1

They COULD get a deal with all those schools you mentioned, it just wasn't a BIG10/SEC type deal. The premiere PAC programs went to the BIG10 to get what they were worth, the next level went to the BIG12 to get what they were worth, and then the other 4 got crumbs. It's believed on other forums the PAC-2's media deal with CW for 2024 was worth $25 million so $12.5 each. You don't actually believe the PAC couldn't get any deal with their previous membership, do you?
