    The King of Power and Influence?  At least we have that in addition to a bunch of Alamo Bowl appearances, NCAA Tournament first weekend exits and monthly payments to failed coaches in the revenue sports.  3 regular season (none since 2008) and 1 tournament basketball conference titles and 3 football conference titles (none since 2009) in 25 years.  We really owned this conference.  Keep jerking off to the revenue table and other people's money though.  Truly aggy-level coping.  

    Furk...now I has Clem-like sads

    PAC West:  Washington St, Oregon St, Stanford, Cal, SDSU, Hawaii
    PAC East: Tulane, Rice, SMU, Colorado St, Wyoming, Air Force/Tulsa

    This looks about right to me.  

    No Boise or Fresno St? UNLV or New Mexico?

    I has sads...

    Yeah, no matter what, SMU is better off with Stanford and Cal than the AAC.  And if the PAC gets heavily raided and starts backfilling, there's a decent chance that Rice and Tulane get a look, too.  The Bay Area schools will probably do what they can to keep the academic standards as high as possible.  

    I guess you can say it's admirable for Stanford and Cal to maintain high academic standards, but it goes against the current reality of big-time collegiate athletics.

    Fucking yikes

    Kliavkoff is either interviewing for his next gig or planning his buy-out life.

    I'll be very surprised if the Big 12 doesn't scoop up the 4 Corners after the Pac's underwhelming media deal is consummated. CU and UA, miniumum.

    I think SMU could find a good niche with Dallas football fans who don't care to go to Arlington and deal with the gameday nightmare. They already started with their Dallas campaign, but could really get a boost playing better programs. It wouldn't be the same as the old PAC, but better in general than the AAC. But if I'm SDSU and SMU I'd be warry of joining a sinking ship, like when TCU joined the Big East and got lucky that they made it to the Big XII after that collapse.

    Neither have anything to lose if the PAC back-fills with the MWC if the 4 Corners bolt. I mean, who is SMU's league rival now? The AAC means nothing to them.

    All that talk Aggy was gonna host the first game? Turns out aggy may have prematurely shot their wad again, from The Athletic:

      Hide contents

    One thing Bjork is certain of: The return of the rivalry will take place at Kyle Field. Asked why he’s so sure, he said, “just because of everything that’s transpired, and that’s something that we’ve expressed to the SEC, and I guess we’ll just leave it at that.”

    Bjork, who first relayed that expectation last year to the Houston Chronicle, declined to say he received such assurances from Sankey or the league office, but added: “Let’s just say that is a very, very firm position from our standpoint.”

    Del Conte, however, said, “that’s all news to me.”

    “I haven’t heard that from anybody,” Del Conte said. “I read it somewhere, I just haven’t heard it from the powers that be. … As far as I know, that’s just internet fodder.”

    It's turdition that UT hosts aggy in even years, you dumb sonofabitch.

    aggy sure can pick 'em, huh?

    lol, SDSU just doesn't do it IMO.

    True, but what are the Pac's other options? Boise St? UNLV?

    SDSU is the best of the least palatable options. They've gotta have a presence in SoCal or they're really fucked. Not that they aren't already.

    On UNC/UVA, fans generally want the SEC but their administration wanted the Big Ten for academic snobbery reasons. Still, now that the Big Ten is in LA and Texas has joined the SEC I think that perspective has changed fairly significantly.

    Travel in the Big Ten (especially if they expand further with UW, UO, Cal, Stanford as has been rumored a while back) is not going to be easy and you’re already seeing push back from student athletes (nothing too serious yet). That may be a concern for both administrators and fans alike.

    Texas joining the SEC along with Vandy and Florida really helps solidify the top end of the SEC’s academic standing and, along with aggy/Mizzou, helped changed the narrative. Both conferences have 5 AAU members and only the ACC has a R2 level research school (Wake Forest) all others are R1. The ACC without ND, UNC/UVA really doesn’t look to different than the SEC and they even invited the worst academic school out of the 31 schools in Louisville so they can’t be to high on their academic snootiness.

    Athletically, SEC football and baseball are obviously elite, and although the ACC has historical basketball success their actual success hasn’t been all that impressive as of late. If you really wanted to build a great basketball conference imagine Kentucky, North Carolina, Duke and Kansas playing in the same conference tournament which could only happen in the SEC since Kentucky isn’t going to leave.

    A combo of UNC/UVA & FSU/Clemson would be great for the SEC at 20.

    Hard to believe aggy and mizzery are AAU, but whatever. This ain't about schoolin'.

    UNC/UVA admin are double-stupid if they choose B1G over the SEC now. Not that I want to expand beyond 16 teams unless it results in a helluva lot more money. At what point do conferences experience diminishing returns?

    There’s really no point to the Pac going forward.  You have two programs with fanbases and facilities that are MWC level, and two that are completely disinterested in revenue sport success.  The other 6 have a seat waiting in the Big 12 that will pay more and give them better exposure, as well as partners that care a lot about sports

    With "pods" all 4 teams in the pod play each other every year. So, for example, UT, ou, atm, pig would all 4 play each other every year. With the 3+6, Those 4 teams would play other teams. UT may play ou atm and pig, but ou would play Mizzou Florida and UT (for example), and atm would play UT lsu and msst (for example), and pig would play UT lsu and om (for example).

    Of course.....duh. I must still be hungover from last night. Furk

    If so, think the school should rename/rebrand itself to its more well known moniker “Southern Money University”. 
     

    “Here come the Money Mustangs!”

    They could always go the aggy route and state definitively that the "M" no longer stands for anything. Because turdition

    Ok, I made a mistake. We play at every other team's stadium once every presidential administration.

    Why are you acting so butt hurt? Sorry I offended you.

    UT is playing the other 12 teams twice - home & away - every 4 years.

    Sorry if my previous post was confusing. This is significantly better than the current SEC scheduling, where aggy has only played UGA once since they joined in 2012.

    Can't wade through everything here for the info ... so what's the most likely way this all shakes out? Do we get aggy, pig, and ou every year. Bama every year or every other year? Etc. Anyone got a Cliff's notes version? 

    Thanks in advance.

    • 9-game SEC sked
    • 3 permanent rivals - aggy, okie, and pig every year
    • Remaining 6 SEC games played home & home every 4 years against all others

    Watched the SB tonight at our aggy neighbors across the street (They're the only ags I know that I actually like). A non-ag chick asked them what they thought about Texas & aggy resuming hostilities in 2024. They weren't amused. When she prodded a little more and asked if they thought it would be in CS, the response was "It better be". Nom nom nom. The tears. So delicious.

    After all the flexing and posturing they're doing over the site of the game, I actually hope it's there just so we can make 'em eat shit that much more when we beat that ass.

    I don't.

    Odd years at Pyle, even years at DKR. Fuck aggy
