Agree, Canzano really knows the Pac 12.
I, was depressed last night and this morning.
But, now I'm feeling a little better after this news.

Look, they might be getting 10 million dollars to play on the CW but man, talk about stepping back in broadcast appearance... looks like the regional stuff you used to watch in the 90s.

Latest news from Memphis/Tulane,
According to the article. USF, is staying in the AAC, whether Memphis/Tulane stay or go.
Memphis/Tulane, are 50/50. If, they are going to the Pac 12.
Eliminating, USF. Increases, UNLV's chance of going to the Pac 12.

This goes to my point in the other threads... spite by a few of these programs and ambition of the Pac 12 commissioner to make a name for herself

I agree. Also, when the dust settle the PAC will still be a G5 conference. In trying to attract a national audience of college football fans in the Midwest or Southeast, they will see little difference in the schools whether Utah State or Washington State and just group them as a G5 conference out west.

Won't be ranked when they come to town.. still opportunity to go 3-0 vs P4 schools...

Great game...

Stanford coach... wtf are you sitting zone on 4th and 8... take the holding next time...terrible decision leads to Syracuse getting the lead

Syracuse doesn’t look good at all.

Would rather they win of course, but completely one dimensional.

McCord is going to get eaten alive by Woodard and Catalon with throws like he made tonight...

I dont disagree.

You say merge easily but every interview with the new commissioner points to her not wanting to do that. If it was easy it would've been done. She wanted to have both all the money or a large portion of it and get a larger tv deal cut to join and when the MWC turned around and said you need us, she flipped to trying to break them apart. There is assumptions a tv deal was ar least discussed but we also know Boise and SDSU think very highly of themselves and could easily be sold to join a new conference whose outlook has potential to be better than MWC for them if they defect. Then she offered to pay their fees so it became a no brainer... the problem now is you have 2-4 other programs asking for same deal and money gets tight, plus whatever assurances and promises were made to the 4 defectors... it's not easy

Maybe, just maybe the PAC commission didn't want to merge because she would be out of the job.
But the WAZZU and OSU would be pretty dumb to let something that obvious get in the way.
Not one conference realignment move in the past 10 years has bot been done without an obvious financial improvement. These deals are known. They make these deals with heavy TV exec advice. The SDSU AD simply said as much.
You don't turn down a merger and keep millions of dollars with other exit fees and turn around and pay 43 million dollars and probably more with other exit fees without knowing you have a significant better TV deal in your back pocket.
The deal could have easily been done and it looked like it was going to happen. We did the one year scheduling agreement and the PAC agreed to pay extra fees if they poached our teams. Why do that if they never thought they would merge?
Then they realized how bad the bottom of our league affects everyone's bottom line. Then crunched numbers. And here we are

Halftime Stanford 13 Syracuse 10

Halftime Illinois 10 Nebraska 17

Cuse not looking great.

Halftime stats - McCord with 158 yds passing. Syracuse -13 yds rushing. Stanford with 132 yds rushing. Was reading comments on a Syracuse message board and the majority of their fans were not impressed with UNLV’s win over Kansas and are saying Syracuse should win easily by at least 20 pts.

If that's the case that's wild... I think behind the scenes if I was Memphis, I'd be talking to UNLV and trying to package ourselves to the Big 12 together. We're both critical to any of the 3 conferences being legit... why not band together and try and upsale ourselves... heck the Big 12 could do a 4 team expansion with 2 football/basketball combos and Gonzaga/UCONN... they aren't getting ACC teams anytime soon as it appears they're holding themselves together. So why wait to get poached when you can solidify yourselves with the last 2 best remaining future football programs and 2 premier basketball teams as well...

I'm down with it.
