Rebooting and why we may be in good shape

[Jonnyeagle]

I have been reading a few reports and it sounds like Oregon State and WSU may try to start there own deal.  With SMUt leaving they still need Dallas and DFW.  So in a weird way SMUt going to the ACC raises our profile.

Are you suggesting that WSU and OSU are going to invite UNT to their imaginary conference? You’re going to have to elaborate as why this would be good for UNT. 

PAC does not have a media deal. 
PAC lost all its members except it’s 2 least-known institutions 

AAC media payout is twice that of MWC

Most schools that would be targeted are in a time zone 2 hours behind us

Well nothing is official, but there has been talk about the two Pac schools inviting the best of Mountain West and AAC to reboot the Pac.

No matter how you spin it, we should never be in the same conference as SMU.

Originally when Stanford and Cal were thought to be staying in the Pac4 rebuild, there was talk of inviting AAC private schools like Smut, Tulane, Rice, and perhaps Tulsa.   Since then, the thought is more like UTSA, Tulane, Memphis. 

I doubt for reasons mentioned a new Pac happens, but a merger with the MWC and re-labeling is more realistic.  Mountain-Pac was suggested.
