I swear every conference wants to plant their flag in Texas, even if its on a 2 inch plot of manure. I get it in some ways, but the texas bidding war is insane at this point. Like the price of TP and masks during covid.
I hope we play Tarleton in the playoffs this year.

Seems likely, expecially with news of Gonzaga to PAC.
'zags + Hawaii as FB only would seem the PAC plan.

That would be the magic kiss goodbye. Remember SHSU and JMU?
But it will probably all be done by then, sigh.

Yeah, just to add them to the list of teams we've worked over only to watch them put us in their rear view mirror as they move up. I'd list the teams, but it's too depressing.

This would be the one thing that would re-ignite my college sports fandom and the entire NDSU fanbase as a whole. A football-only invite to pair with Gonzaga as the full sport member to the PAC12 would be incredible and really strengthen the PAC12 in both football and basketball. It makes logical sense, so therefor it will never happen. The PAC12 will add UCONN as a football only member instead because they are known to be such a football powerhouse. :rolleyes:
Honestly, I think UConn is the play there. They would take UConn all sports in a heartbeat. But UConn is only shopping for a football conference home.

The MWC just got into Texas, they are offering UTEP. Dellinger has been off every single time in the MWC/PAC moves, last week it was all about Sac State. There is no way in hell Tarleton State is a candidate for anything but the CUSA, replacing UTEP.
MWC commissioner and PAC commissioner are friends, former co-workers who seem to make the same type of moves. Texas State are messing around, I doubt the PAC are interested. It is more likely Texas State are seeing who will give a better offer, the AAC or the MWC. The AAC doesn't need them, and like the MWC they just promised more money to lock in their top teams for a while.
My bet is Texas State and UTEP will both be in the MWC as full members. Hawaii would like a PAC invite, but it isn't likely coming now that Gonzaga is on board and UCONN are rumored to want a football only PAC invite. Hawaii gets their full membership to the MWC they have wanted. That brings the MWC to 8 full members. The next move would be going after the WCC. Gonzaga leaving, GCU and St. Mary's could very well get MWC invites as Olympic members which opens the door to "FCS powers" as referenced by the Wyoming AD.
I imagine in that scenario, there are only two FCS powers which would be seen as an improvement for the MWC and their membership. That is NDSU and SDSU as football only members.

I hope you are right. The cards would have to fall perfectly, but that's always been the case in some ways.

Friends would've merged the 2PAC and MWC and been done. This seems more bloodsport.
