I felt a twinge of optimism yesterday
From what I have read they are trying to get thru this season and have scheduled a number of games with MWC football as you have pointed out. It was easier to park their other sports in the Big West until the financial settlement with former PAC 12 members is settled and they determined whether or not to play as an independent in football. However no conference other than the MWC wants them , not even the AAC. If memory serves our previous commissioner told them that we had no interest in just 2 west coast teams. The BIG 12 , Big 10, and ACC also had no interest when they expanded but all bets are off if the ACC implodes. Otherwise it appears the only question is can they wiggle out of their "all or non " agreement with the MWC and negotiate an acceptable media contract.The OSU athletic director recently stated that he though 8 schools is the perfect number for a new PAC. Speculation by the U TUBE sports pundits is that in a perfect world OSU and WSU choices would be Fresno ST., SDSU,UNLV,Colorado St. , Boise st., and AFA. However one podcast team speculated that the Air Force Academy might want to spread their wings [pun intended] and consider the AAC since it now includes both Army and Navy in football. The PAC 2 certainly doesn't want Hawaii, SJSU, Nevada, Wyoming,or New Mexico but may be stuck with them in a reverse merger. In summary the PAC 2 have until 2025/2026 to put together a conference with at least 8 members but nothing is going to happen until the ACC situation is resolved. -

Even if they bring back the PAC whatever number you want. It would still be considered a G5 conference. So what’s the point of leaving the AAC. Just my 2 cents worth.- 1

Is D1 Split Coming Soon?
FYI, the NCAA has increased the application fee for FCS programs who want to move up to FBS from $5,000 to $5 million dollars. This should deter some schools and make it more difficult for conferences like CUSA to back fill any member loses.- 2

The PAC 2 has scheduled 7 games with MWC opponents, but are not eligible for the MWC football championship. They are not part of the MWC in any sports. They don’t want to be, as it would end their P5 hopes.
