Four more to the PAC 12. That makes 10. Effects on FCS?
Even less likely to see Big Sky schools move up?
Elsewhere? Dakota X’s to the MWC or AAC?
Pac 12 gets 4 more.

It seems like the Power 5 conferences are using the Pioneer League as their geographic model these days.

Yep. Lol there’s nothing ‘Pacific’ about S Florida (or any of those 4 schools for that matter).Mvemjsunpx wrote: ↑Fri Sep 20, 2024 8:05 pm It seems like the Power 5 conferences are using the Pioneer League as their geographic model these days.

Re: Pac 12 gets 4 more.
True but TV market size is more important right now than geography. It can pay the bills perhaps more so than attendance.Mvemjsunpx wrote: ↑Fri Sep 20, 2024 8:05 pm It seems like the Power 5 conferences are using the Pioneer League as their geographic model these days.
And now you have SAC potentially joining the fray.

Re: Pac 12 gets 4 more.
TV market size matters for the B1G0 and SEC but the change in fortunes for the Sunbelt & CUSA have shown that it probably doesn't matter for lower tier conferences. It remains to be seen where the PAC lies in that discussion.kalm wrote: ↑Mon Sep 23, 2024 5:53 amTrue but TV market size is more important right now than geography.

Is the PAC looking at TV market size or quality of competition and impact on recruiting? They clearly want to be the 5th best conference, and possibly 4th if the ACC implodes.

Re: Pac 12 gets 4 more.
I just read that they want UNLV and Utah State now as well as the others. That would be a strong conference, but not a "Power" conference in my opinion.

Re: Pac 12 gets 4 more.
I've heard that while UT State has apparently signed on to form the Pac-7, NV-Las Vegas is apparently sticking with the Mountain West. And three Eastern schools, including Memphis State and South Florida, have declined what they felt to be insulting offers....AshevilleApp wrote: ↑Mon Sep 23, 2024 1:06 pm I just read that they want UNLV and Utah State now as well as the others.
