One of the SMU boys will be on here momentarily....to refute this.....letting us know that their gas pump deal is not with Exxon Mobil.....but with Union 76.

Houston has been very successful for a few years. If you (PAC12)are going to take a school who cannot attract fans and has not been winning then that tells you how screwed up the PAC12 is. If they are

Congrats on the potential move despite doing nothing on the field to deserve it. That takes a lot of money.

Or on the Tesla chargers. Captive audience for a few hours. Wonder if the game will still show on the 23% of public chargers not working?

It's already been refuted as inaccurate, but even if it were true, Ion is on everyone's cable or satellite.  If ESPN took the to few games and Ion carried the rest, that's massively more coverage than their PAC-12 network arrangement today and better linear TV coverage than B12.

Lots of smoke today, the fire usually starts soon after!

Pac12 media rights difficulties, Big12 expansion desires, Big10 further raiding the PAC....

Remnants of the PAC10 should drop down to FCS.  Isn't the WAC FCS now?

UTA is in the WAC this year.  Smut could join UTA as travel partner!

lol.  Its going to be fun revisiting this thread from time to time.

Most of our fans, seem to be hoping you guy's don't get in a P5 or the PAC-12 in this case, but, the way SMU has been recruiting and investing in facilities, I'm hoping you do move on. Much easier path to the championship for UNT, if SMU moves to the PAC-12.

It is kind of pathetic that on the gomeangreen message board there's 17 pages dedicated to SMU's conference movement.

There seems to be two views here:

1) (Yours) Get yourself in a conference that is weak as possible, so that one singular team can carry the torch into national prominence/contention, OR...

2) Surround yourself by the highest level of competition you can, join/match their efforts, and hope that it elevates your own play as well as any external (IE, media) perceptions of you (and your conference)

I happen to think option #1 is an extremely risky model to pursue.  That the ones who do it are outliers, teams that enjoy a combination of unique circumstances and/or luck.  The rest of the time, when people pursue this, the media piles on the poor perceptions, you get lumped in with those pile-ons, and then spend all your effort failing to climb out of that situation.

I doubt SMU will wind up in the WAC. It's more probable that they will end up in the Mountain West, but I guess the WAC may be possible, especially if they need to cancel football.
