I hope you are right.If something was going to happen I would have thought it would have by now.

In fairness, those numbers were only "with less than 27 months' notice."  If the PAC schools are willing to be patient and play the long game, it could be a different story.

Take notes, PAC leadership.

It was low attendance, but still 20k. You know that pic was not during game time. Don’t know why people keep doing that.

Because it isn't that serious and it's ok to enjoy innocent banter even if it's at one's own expense. Spend enough time on here and you'll notice we all mock our football program at times.

Don't know about you but the weather is nice where I am. I'll probably enjoy some more football and grill some burgers for the family. Regardless of how you spend your day, these posts won't hurt you. Have a nice day!

Those are some big numbers.

There's no way UTSA could swing that, even if they wanted to.

With no media deal in hand, the PAC will be lucky to pull anyone out of the AAC.

They'd have to sell their cannon to help pay for that fee...

One thing I disagree with is if Memphis and Tulane go that the American would only add Air Force to replace them. I still would expect the American to add additional schools from the Midwest or east. I just do not see how they can sit back and not attempt to put together teams that can challenge the top teams from the new pac

Just announced UNLV staying in MWC, Utah State to PAC 7. I am assuming Nevada/ Reno and SJSU staying in MWC which gives each conference 7 football programs. Looks like both may need to dip into 1AA programs. i doubt the PAC 7 would take UTEP or NMSU but the MWC might take one or both .

Well now that USU is moving to the PAC, UNLV is rethinking its commitment to the MWC because they were told the Aggies were staying as well. I don't know how that affects the AFA but this is really turning into a cluster f--k.

UConn to the rescue.

The new PAC-12 is not desperate. They have the best of the mountain west & they won’t dip into the FCS schools. They’ll find schools that can solidify the conference & will take-on credible programs. 

Current status: Boise State Broncos, Colorado State Rams, Washington State Cougars, Oregon State Beavers, San Diego State Aztecs, Fresno State Bulldogs, Utah State Aggies.

The MWC would be crazy not to go after UTEP and NMSU. The crazy would be if the gave UNM any leverage in trying to stop it.

The MWC is about to get a VERY big check (OK, wire transfer) from the pacX

The Mountain West will cash that check & stay together, but will bring in teams like: UTEP, NMSU, Texas State…etc.

I don't see Texas State making the move but you never know. Depending on the next few days you might see a MWC and CUSA merger
