I can't see the PAC 2 volunteering to send all their sports team on 6-hour flights to Tampa on the initial new PAC invites. Likewise USF would be foolish to get involved in that.
I think the PAC 2 will stay totally West initially, while waiting for other P4 spots to open. Then, if they need to expand their footprint further east (AAC) maybe some central time additions.
I agree their top MWC targets would be SDSU, Boise, Fresno, UNLV, plus Colo St and AFA.
If the ACC projected implosion leaves enough schools to keep it alive and Cal and Stanford push for OSU and WSU to be included then they may have a chance to join. Otherwise, with the OSU athletic director stating 8 schools would be the optimal number it appears the objective of the PAC 2 is to be the best west coast conference they can be.I don't see where UNT moving west into a different time zone is preferred over the AAC. ( PS: Somehow my reply went directly into the middle of your post and when I deleted it I accidentally took some of your original post with it. My apologies.)
If I were the PAC 2 I would go after these teams to make the 8.
SDSU
Boise St
Memphis
USF
Fresno State
UNLV
Oregon State
Washington State
next level expansion targets:
Colorado State
UTSA
Hawaii
FAU
North Texas
Tulane
4 of these 6 them takes them to 12. Then they bolt to the Big 12. But we’d be in good company. Need a great football year.

If the hat is stupid or ugly, still show up. There is something cool about bantering with fans from the universities when they come on their day in their gear. Dress the kids up, wear Mean Green proudly and let’s represent in the Big 12’s backyard.
SMU brings their orientations out or something like that, huge groups, I grinned last year because those kids traveling west of 35 are funny. It’s culture shock to them. They almost don’t know what to do amongst the Texas common folk. Their bubble of uptown deep ellum downtown Henderson avenue and smu Blvd is cute but is sure ain’t the Arlington entertainment district. They go for their hats and bail around the 4th inning. Martinis anyone?
