It is being reported that the Pac-12 is not having any success finding a viable media deal. Multiple reports are that it will be similar to the MWC money. Reports are a merger could net north of $10-15 million per team. Without the Pac is looking at $8 million tops but probably less. https://x.com/TBM_JY/status/1885399234393862150

FYI, I posted a thank you letter to you all in OT/Political section. Since some of you don't post there, I decided to let you know, here, as well.

SJSU and FSU have scheduled a 6 game home and home series in football over the next 9 years. I think CSU and Wyoming have something similar. I really don't care about games against the other Pac schools but I would also like to see Nevada playing Fresno State in a home and home arrangement. The Pack has played the Bulldogs for over 100 years..It is a cool thing. Let's keep that going.

The Fresno football program is in shambles. They can't pay to get the asbestos out of the facilities. The stadium is crumbling. They just hired a coach who made his FCS team worse, and then they immediately got better when he was replaced. Their donor base is dead and/or too poor to pay for facility upkeep let alone any upgrades or NIL. They have solid attendance, but only because they are practically and in some cases literally giving away tickets. Constant "Flash sales" and shit. Just not a lot of talent on the roster, they all left for the portal and nobody was brought in. Basketball is one of the worst programs in the country, the SMC is dead. SJSU has more of an atmosphere at their BB games. They just hired a high school coach who is going to further drive the program into the dirt. Can it be salvaged at this point? Will it take 10 years to overcome this most recent idiotic hire? The New Pac needs to keep the dongs on probation. They only get a half share until they can fix this mess. Discuss.

This is for those interested in the development of the new PAC12. Let's say that no AAC are able to come over for what ever reason. (I'm banking that some will) Realistically, who do we go after for #8? Or do you see another package deal instead of adding just one school?

The poaching penalties are considered anti-trust, making them null and void. With that influx of cash, they grab some combination of UNLV, Memphis, Tulane, UTSA, UConn and South Florida. (Possibly more - just depends on how big they want to get and who tv tells them to add.) They get their $15-20M tv deal. This makes them a basketball juggernaut - with 4+ bids guaranteed every year. The AAC and MW are decimated, leaving the PAC as the unquestioned fifth best conference with the conference champion being a favorite for one of the conference championship spots. Or - the MW, Sun Belt, Mac, CUSA and AAC decide to break off and do their own football playoff because the financial aspect is too out of whack, handing the fifth spot to the PAC every year. Note: I'm not a lawyer and can't speak on the anti-trust aspects of the poaching.

When the PAC adds some direcrional schools and is not clearly better than the MWC, what happens to the teams that want to return? We've already seen how BSU comes back and it sorta blew for the conference, but what if the others want to return?

Life in the Group of 5 recruiting. Pretty rare to see guys like Jeanty and Ricky White stays with their teams even with a big $$ lures from the Power 4 team https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/43601368/recruiting-roster-challenges-facing-group-5-power-4-gap-college-football-conferences

The PAC has filed for multiple additional trademarks. The filings indicate the possibility of continued growth with either no current target size or maybe planned growth over multiple seasons. Among the filings was to reclaim the "Pac-10" trademark. The conference had let that drop in 2012 after Utah and Colorado joined. I guess they never considered the possibility that someone would leave the old PAC and the conference would be smaller again. The applications filed were for “Pac-9,” “Pac-10,” “Pac-11,” “Pac-13,” “Pac-14,” “Pacific Athletic Conference” and “The PAC Conference”. https://www.sportico.com/leagues/college-sports/2024/pac-12-trademark-applications-pac-8-pac-14-1234821537/

Here are the PAC-12 vs MWC lawsuit documents in their entirety. All public record so no issue with downloading them. The letters back and forth between the 2 conferences are the last few pages. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oYStQ2p0LLU0IWeITFIkAUtS0KW_du5K/view?usp=drivesdk MWC v PAC-12 lawsuit.pdf

I was 100% into telling the Pac2 to pound sand but it seems like they were able to break our solidarity, and CSU is now headed over with them. The Pac2 have to still get to six teams to get a conference. Thinking about it now from the new perspective, I am not sure it makes sense for the PAC conference to further raid the MWC. It doesn't make sense to mortally wound the MWC as we want to keep another western conference viable in case we are forced into another round of expansion. As much as I would like Air Force in the same conference as CSU, they will be fine no matter what as they are a marque national brand. UNLV can also take the opportunity to really clean up in its new conference with less competition. No, I think it is probably better for the PAC to target Memphis and UTSA. This would also wound the AAC and it would be MUCH cheaper to take away these schools without the crazy exit fees of the MWC. Honestly we probably want to keep the AAC and MWC at near parody. What the PAC doesn't want is for them all to merge/consolidate into any type of conference that would challenge it in the playoff pecking order. Furthermore, the PAC should really bend over backwards to try to get some kind of agreement with the 3 service academies to be some kind of affiliate members or something. We need something like Notre Dame has with the ACC. Those guys could get a killer media deal and those are great teams to play against for exposure. What the PAC doesn't need to do is add a ton of teams right now because we are all waiting until the ACC or Big 12 blow up again. Longer term, the PAC should be targeting Cal or Stanford because that shit is not stable over there. We should just plan on Memphis or UTSA or an eastern school getting poached. A strong MWC provides a lot more stability to the PAC for these future moves and we don't have to just add a bunch of dead weight. Stay small, PAC, and leave the MWC alone for a while!

Wonder how this will play into the nPac/MWC media deal negotiations. Disney Inks Deal to Merge Hulu Live TV With Fubo, Ending Lawsuit Seeking to Block Venu Sports Streamer Disney, Fox and Warner Bros. Discovery will pay Fubo $220 million to settle antitrust suit Disney announced a deal with pay-TV streaming provider Fubo to combine Hulu + Live TV with Fubo’s operations in a joint venture. Under the deal, Fubo will drop its antitrust lawsuit seeking to derail Venu Sports, the sports-focused streaming package from Disney, Fox Corp. and Warner Bros. Discovery. The Hulu subscription video-on-demand service is not part of the Fubo deal and will remain separate. Fubo and Hulu + Live TV will have a combined 6.2 million North American subscribers, behind Google’s YouTube TV, which nearly a year ago reported having more than 8 million customers. Disney will own 70% of the pay-TV joint venture and Fubo will hold the remaining 30%; the combined business will operate under the Fubo publicly traded company name. The Hulu + Live TV and Fubo brands will remain separately sold and marketed. The companies said the Fubo joint venture will negotiate carriage agreements with content providers for both Hulu + Live TV and Fubo services independently from Disney. Also under the deal, Fubo will create a new “sports and broadcasting service,” featuring Disney’s sports and broadcast networks. Disney is entering into a new carriage agreement with Fubo for the new tier that will feature networks including ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, SECN, ACCN and ESPNews as well as ESPN+. In connection with the deal, Disney, Fox and Warner Bros. Discovery will make a cash payment to Fubo of $220 million. In addition, Disney has committed to provide a $145 million term loan to Fubo in 2026 as part of the transaction. Furthermore, a deal-breakup fee of $130 million will be payable to Fubo under certain circumstances, including if the transaction fails to close due to the failure to obtain requisite regulatory approvals on the terms and conditions in the agreement. Disney and Fubo expect the deal to close within 12-18 months. As of the end of September 2024, Hulu + Live TV had 4.6 million subscribers. For the third quarter of 2024, Fubo reported an average of 1.458 million subs in North America. Link: https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/disney-hulu-live-tv-fubo-merger-ending-venu-lawsuit-1236266843/

Jeanty will likely secure the Heisman trophy. He is undoubtedly the leading candidate. We'll have to endure endless discussions from Boise about it, and it will likely dominate every other sports-related conversation for the next 20 years.😀

Anybody else watching this game. I though Wazzu was going to get boat raced but they have the lead

Who would you rather Boise State play in the Fiesta Bowl: SMU or Penn State? Based off of elitist bullshit talk during the Heisman Trophy deliberations, I would rather Boise face Penn State, who has been overrated the entire season. What say you?

… join the PAC a year earlier? And take Northern Illinois into the MWC a year earlier? come’un Gloria, make it happen….
