OT: Colorado leaving the PAC 12
- Thread starter utep2step
- Start date
Not good news. For utep atleast. For the mwc, great news.
Look at what is happening eith the ACC right now. Clemson and Florida State want unequal revenue distribution. I'd be surprised if it doesn't exist in the SEC already and it already exists in the Big 10. Only a matter of time before the big egos want to split apart.
Aww how cute. Trying to save face from being rejected.
It only makes perfect sense for the pac2 to join the MW.
I wouldn’t really call it that. Since the ACC took the 2 best available - Stanford and Cal, along with a “key” member of their current conference, the AAC is deciding not to pursue OSU or WSU.
An AAC with SMU and the Pac 4 would probably get a better deal, but now, there’s no reason for them to add WSU and OSU.
Maybe they did get rejected by OSU and WSU, but who knows
Yeah, but kinda what we expected. We will see if the AAC replaces SMU. LaTech, MTSU, and WKU could be in play and that would be worse for us. End up with Tarleton, Eastern Kentucky, Missouri St, or Austin Peay as their replacement.
There was zero chance of Stanford ever joining AAC or MW.
There’s reason to add them. This isn’t the first time they’ve wanted a west wing. They’ve gone after MW programs in the past.
At 13 they could have tried to get those two plus SDSU. Or maybe make the jump to 18 and bring Boise and another MW school.
It seems like common sense has finally prevailed in the realignment world.
If you’re Oregon St/Washington St and prefer geography over money and prestige, sure. LOL
Cal and Stanford just joined the ACC. We’re way passed common sense now.
I don’t see why Stanford joining the AAC with the other 3 leftovers is far fetched. For weeks, people tried to tell us that SMU, Rice, and Tulane were P12 candidates.
UTEP deserves to be with the whores, drug addicts, and criminals of college athletics.
No offense to the whores and drug addicts who frequent our fine site.

Don't see it happening but I hope it does.
Tis but a flesh wound.
All the big guys need a few auto wins. If you have some kind of “super league”. Who wants to finish in last place there? Imagine Michigan or North Carolina going 1-7 in conference 1 year. Their fans aren’t going to want that. Even if they’re playing Alabama and LSU instead of Northwestern and Rutgers.
The rest of us will still be taking $5 million buy games. Hell they may get up to 8 or 9 million by that time
It's early yet but Coach Prime's CU Buffaloes look impressive. Coach Dismel should take a look at how Coach Prime lets his coachs coach!!

Why would he do that? Don’t we all know he has the greatest mind of any college coach. How could a lowly OC. call a better game!
Army to AAC looking more and more probable. Not that it impacts UTEP in the slightest.

Army engaged in 'positive' talks with American about joining conference as replacement for SMU
The Black Knights could step in for the Mustangs as an AAC member as soon as next season

Yes, for now. App St is mentioned, which would probably impact UTEP if the SBC were to replace them.Army to AAC looking more and more probable. Not that it impact UTEP in the slightest.

Good thing we got that GOR signed. In case SB wanted to take WKU, MTSU, and LT to go up to 16 there’s literally nothing stopping them but some change.
As @JCorona pointed out, if App St left, the SBC would “likely” replace them with WKU, MTSU, or LaTech. Then another FCS school would join CUSA.
Oh okay. Thought you meant utep would be considered for the SBC lol.
Nope. UTEP will only be taken by the MWC, SBC, or AAC if they’re on their death beds and don’t want FCS schools. Even then, UTEP would be way down the list for the SBC or AAC.
Relax this is an over exaggeration SMH 😏 besides Sun Belt is only $500,000 above Cusa TV Contract it'd be a lateral move there anyway.

Nope. NoWins is right. We are a last gasp option. Only when a conference needs the "next best loser" on the list to somehow remain relevant.
Sadly.
Sun Belt would take any southeast-south fcs team over utep.
Again how is Sun Belt so much better? The new TV deal with CUSA vs Sun Belt is a difference of peanuts.
Anyone with a clue knows that the SBC is more highly regarded than CUSA - at least football wise.
You can argue that CUSA basketball might be better than the SBC, but it’s negligible since they’re both 1 bid leagues.
The TV contract is what it is so that's what I'm saying. It doesn't matter what you think or others think of the perception of the league. Financially it would do nothing for Utep sorry, that's the bottom line.
They wanted tighter geography and hated utep/texas.
I wasn't arguing whether CUSA is better or worse. I wouldn't want to be in the SBC outside of playing the Cajuns.
Which conference raided who? If SB loses teams where do you think they’ll get the replacements from?
That’s what makes a conference better. The security of knowing you can go get the best FBS team from CUSA instead of trying your luck with FCS teams that aren’t ready.
