We will know once everything settles in. Most PAC fans are super happy with the move so far. Actually a lot of people thought it was a good move.
It will be a better deal for them financially. They will cut out a lot of fat financially and with competition.
Will it be marginal? Maybe. But it will be a better league.

There is a balance between too much dead weight and having a sane schedule. But it is difficult to keep competitive if you have to schedule too many ooc.

OSU and WSU found that out the hard way it isn’t easy. They pulled great numbers together this year against each other; but they play twice together next year. If the first game is a complete blow out, the sequel might not get a lot of attention.

Each of them also had to slot in mulitple fcs/ cusa/ sunbelt games that won’t help their ratings.

That, was Desi's Aunt, that you were dancing with.
Yup, she should have stayed and played her Covid Year.
I, said that 6 months ago. Maybe, our NIL wasn't good enough.
I, heard the Lady Rebels NIL is $350,000 dollars a year. By, far the most of any MW team in our conference.

We can starts by beating UCLA soundly. Then win the conference championship. Kevin Kruger need to be axed unless he make a deep run at the March Madness.

Purdue will not have the schedule like IU did this year. So no, they will not have the season the IU have this year. If Purdue get to .500 wins, that is a win. And go bowling. And they will kick some MAC team in the teeth in their bowl game.

That's my point. If they can match the level of Indiana in year one, they would be doing backflips, especially with if they win that head to head

This is the missed opportunity and the failure to see the BIG picture. UNLV and Boise will end up ranked in the top 25 in the final AP rankings. Some years it could be 3 teams in a merged G5-PAC and MWC. Great start on the way to negotiations and jockeying for an automatic playoff bid for the only west coast based football conference. With the automatic playoff spot comes more interest and more TV value. The playoffs will expand to 16 at some point. The G5-PAC blew it. Neither the G5-PAC or MWC has a shot for a seat at the table. But merged they could have.

They will likely be ecstatic with winning 5 or 6 next year

The PAC leadership is the gang that couldn’t shoot straight. Remember, it wasn’t too long ago they were part of the leadership that rejected Texas and Oklahoma when they wanted to merge with PAC. Clearly, the G5-PAC had a overinflated sense of value. They are still not a conference! Without Boise they have nothing.

That is like Blockbuster shunning Netflix back in the day. Blunder of epic proportion.

Lindy all day! At least womens team has a plan, adjustments and coach who knows what she’s doing. Might be ugly at times but better

It will be interesting to see how much playing time the ex Rebs get. Remember our big running back who left when Odom arrived then barely played where he went.

If the poaching fees get thrown out, it doesn't matter for anyone. We won't be staying in the MWC at that point because there's no money to keep us or Air Force in the conference. They won't even need Tulane or Memphis.

I don't think we bolt for the PAC of the poaching fees get thrown out. They already offered us 6 mil in exit fee help. Even if they offered to pay more I think we stay just for the free pass.
It may be tougher to leave now after the MOR as well.

Charles Correa staying home could be huge for UNLV. I like players who are students off the game. Melvin Laster appear to be staying as well. That defense is going to be chaos.
