Pac12 not dead?

In a vacuum, we are the 9th, 10th or even 11th choice. But when you add in exit fees all of a sudden we're in the top three. Even the sun belt has greater exit fees that make it unlikely teams will move around for marginal gain in tv money. The timing is finally benefiting UTEP, even though our main athletic teams aren't competitive.
I don’t think exit fees are an issue with Sun Belt teams. Actual location and what they may/may not get in the media deal, are issues.

Really Senter’s main job here is to call the other ADs from other schools, but mainly to shake the donor tree as much as he can to secure as much funding as he can for the potential buyout.

Have any other donors received a call yet? I haven’t, but I know I am pretty low on the list compared to guys like Foster and Hunt
There are big donors, aside from Hunt and Foster, who have an ear in Senter's ear to get the hell out of CUSA...

Basketball starts today!

Pac12 not dead?

don't kid yourself, UTEP is the first choice which will help bring another Texas team into the league. I believe the PAC/MW want to move to a 10 team league with at least 2 Texas teams. That will make sense for each league.
When the announcement comes its going to cause a tidal wave of excitement.
So UTEP who hasn’t been a candidate for the MWC for at least 10 years, is now the first choice of the Pac 7? I guess UNLV, Air Force, Wyoming, and San Jose St hate the Miners, but Boise, Colorado St, SDSU, Utah St, Fresno, and two Pac 10 schools are all about UTEP??? Makes sense!!!!

You’re assuming that UTEP will have a choice. If the Pac didn’t want UNM, they certainly do not want UTEP.

chill out ladies, what will happen will happen on its own time and to our benefit . I believe the PAC should be our first choice if another Texas team is involved; otherwise. MW would still be an excellent choice. No bad choice between the leagues.
