Sources say San Diego St. is still planning on joining the PAC-12. Conference also is hoping to add SMU with Boise St. and UNLV being long shot possibilities.
That's been the tale of many "sources" since USC/UCLA left the PAC.Quote:

You would want a summarization from him? He picks and chooses what fits his narrative.Quote:

Its a little bit of a tough call for me between mac and mvfc, but would probably lean MAC.
Any FBS conference > Any FCS conferenceQuote:

You could argue they are higher than AAC, but I don’t think they are looking to add schools any time soon, whereas the other schools may need to…Quote:

I think SBC is getting a bit closer to AAC in terms of Sagarin after the last round of teams shuffling.Quote:

Its hard to claim SBC is better though until they place a team in the NY6 or soon to be CFP slot. AAC has consistently done that for a decade, and also has a slightly better media deal. MWC and SBC are pretty close, and you could probably argue that one either way now.
I was judging by SBC’s showing last year - to your point, 1 year does not a conference reputation make.Quote:

that's the death of NDSU if they aren't in the FBS by then
SBC had a good year, and the gap is closing there. MWC had a down year, but may bounce back.Quote:

AAC/Tulane would have landed the G5 CFP bid last year (also for the past 6 years, and 7 of last 8)

The UAC's plans to elevate themselves to the FBS is an unprecedented move in CFB with only the CAA briefly entertaining the idea nearly 2 decades ago. Should the NCAA veto an entire conference's promotion, the obvious solution would be 10 separate invitations to CUSA. Rounding out CUSA at 20 teams would provide depth & stability & more importantly key regional rivalries.
East: Liberty, EKU, WKU, MTSU, APSU, KSU, FIU, UNA, Jax St, UCA
West: La Tech, SFA, SH, TSU, UTRGV, UTEP, ACU, NMSU, UTU, SUU
If the UAC (ASUN + WAC) is getting FBS invites from CUSA that's basically my "North Division" concept* for CUSA, except they went southwest and not to the MVFC/BSC.
And this is announced before the new $5M entry fee to FBS is finalized. I wonder if CUSA is getting 'something' for the invites while NCAA admission is still cheap.
*the idea was to create stability for CUSA by adding members, a north division
If true, stick a fork in the FCS, its dead as we know it.Quote:

Wouldn't be shocking. These are all the schools that have been on CUSA short list for a while. Tarleton, SFA, UCA, etc. It is SHSU wet dream to play all the texas FCS schools again, just labeled FBS. It will be the Southland all over again. Total joke.Quote:

WOW BREAKING NEWS
Former Montana AD: "NDSU and SDSU are actively trying to get into the Mountain West
https://m.facebook.com/story.php?sto...ibextid=CDWPTG
That was a good podcast. The guy knows what he is talking about. After mentioning NDSU and SDSU trying to get into the MW he wasn't sure they were a fit. He mentioned Sac State and Northern Arizona as being more likely candidates because of huge student bodies and lots of tv viewers. Sac State is in an area where there is lots of donor money too.Quote:

Until the Pac 12 and the Big 12 get figured out the MW is not part of the story. However, when they do have to make their decisions they already know what they are going to do in every scenario.
It is the wild wild west these days..It is hard say how this will all play out.
Lol NAU. That would about do it for me I think.Quote:

No one gives a shit about the 5th or 6th school from a larger metro.

NDUS has plenty of students to support an FBS team and its all about brands now
This tells me they're pushing, together, with high standards
That's enough for me
