Pac-12 reportedly has nine finalists for next add
I'm assuming that's Texas State? It's a little misleading to refer to Memphis, Tulane, and USF as "finalists" when they already turned the new PAC down. -

Pac-12 reportedly has nine finalists for next add
https://nevadasportsnet.com/news/reporters/morning-download John Canzano reported Wednesday the Pac-12 essentially has nine finalists for its next addition to the conference, that list including Nevada, UNLV, Memphis, Tulane, Rice, Texas State, USF, UTSA and North Texas. The Pac-12 is one football program short of being FBS compliant and was stymied last fall both by the American Athletic Conference and Mountain West after its initial poach of five MW schools, including Boise State, San Diego State, Colorado State, Fresno State and Utah State, plus the WCC's Gonzaga. Canzano writes: “UNLV and Nevada would be a geographically logical next step, but I’m told by multiple sources that the Pac-12 has been weighing an assortment of other factors. Among those factors are brand, athletic success, the will to invest, travel expenses, geography and economics. At least one of the potential candidates on the list has offered to take zero media rights distributions in the early years of membership, per a source." UNLV and Nevada have been trendy names over the last several months, but there's a major contractual issue there as both Silver State schools signed a grant of media rights with the MW, which hold the media rights for the Wolf Pack and Rebels home games through 2032. Texas State still seems like the most likely addition because of its placement in the Sun Belt, which has a less onerous exit fee than the MW and AAC. https://www.johncanzano.com/p/canzano-sorting-out-pac-12-expansion?utm_campaign=email-post&r=2t3w8&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email The Pac-12 Conference athletic directors gathered for a morning meeting on the conference level at Park MGM Las Vegas early last week. The event lasted a few hours. The university presidents joined for a second meeting later that afternoon. Several of the presidents appeared in person, per sources. Others participated via Zoom. The decision-makers of the new-world Pac-12 received updates on the conference’s media rights negotiations and discussed expansion, among other topics. What’s the Pac-12’s expansion move? Adding UNLV? Or maybe wooing Memphis? Texas State and/or Tulane? South Florida? How about UTSA, Rice, Nevada, or North Texas? Said one campus source: “If someone emerges outside that list, it would be a surprise.” -

Remaining Eligibility
Floyd is the only senior who could have another year under the current rules. If you're interested in the details, I wrote about him and Massie in the thread below. All of the players who aren't seniors are eligible to play next year. -

#530, and that kind of worries me, I know how much I have given. We need new blood and lots of it.
