SDSU Not Leaving the Mountain West?

IMO it’s going to depend on how they package it in the future. It’s going to be interesting to see how the non P2’s create/generate better incomes.
Will they make more selling hoops to streaming services rather than traditional media outlets? We’ll see (looking at you too PAC12 that may be why it hasn’t folded yet) there is enough smoke to say that the Big12 definitely has their eyes on some strong basketball programs/schools and somebody somewhere is telling them that they can help them financially or they wouldn’t bother.

UConn (or any other school on “that level”)has to do whatever they can to try n keep up financially as well so if that means a partial membership then it has to happen.

I don't disagree with what you're saying but the Big East also has a basketball product to sell to the media companies. If we are putting football aside, I don't think the Big 12 is really in a much better situation to sell their basketball product to the networks than the Big East is. In fact, there's probably more alignment with the Big East since they're all in on basketball.

The only thing the Big 12 can sell UConn is a home for their football program and the 31.7M. Becoming a non-football member just doesn't make enough sense from UConn's perspective IMO.

What does UConn make per year now? 4-7mm in the BigEast?
I think the Big12 would be able to top that just from having their men’s and women’s basketball programs playing other Big12 teams as content for a media partner and that’s not counting the extra the conference would get for getting the teams in the tournament from the strength of schedule ect. The BE is usually pretty good in the hoops department but football is the bell cow and BE doesn’t t have anything in the same universe as the Big12 in that area.

Right but if you aren't getting the football money, this is irrelevant. I'm not sure how much more the Big 12's basketball payout would be vs. the Big East but I can't imagine it's more than an extra million or two. Most of that money would be eaten away by travel costs. Not to mention the risk of UConn losing their regional identity and falling off the map (like it did before)

I mean we'll see if anything actually happens but those are some terrible football schools. I would have just sat at 12 if I was the Big 12.

If Colorado pulls the trigger then the mass exodus from the PAC will follow. Arizona's, Utah most likely.

If the Big 10's not interested in Oregon/Washington then they'll be clawing for a spot.

Basketball schools UConn, Gonzaga, etc will remain on the outside looking in.

Colorado holds a lot of cards here. I actually wish the Big 10 would grab them.

And just like that...the PAC may be interested in adding 3-4 MWC schools in a couple of months. I guess the current situation changed

lol, what in Gods earth makes you believe they’ll add 4 G5s when atleast two teams per sources were against adding 2?

Because those two teams probably won’t be in the PAC for long

Two teams allegedly didn’t want to go to 12 with 2 G5s but they are totally cool with going to 12 with 3/4 G5s?

They need a media deal bad that pays close to the B12 with similar linear. I dont believe adding G5s to get to 12 gets them there.

We’ll gee golly would you look at that. Yet another reason adding multiple MWC teams to the 10 team PAC is as implausible as it gets this decade.

I get Oregon (if it is indeed them) doing this. But it’s not all that bad for the PAC, it signals that teams like Oregon and Washington are staying for the time being.

Great call dumb fuck
 
So the burning question is: when the remaining PAC teams merge with the MWC, do they call it the new PAC, or the new MWC?
