If it was the decision of a conference probably, but the remaining teams will never want to add unknown teams with a very limited brand to the conference. They need to sell tickets and an image. Any conference with the 4 Montana/Dakota schools looks goodQuote:

The Pac-12 is mobilizing a long-discussed plan to rebuild the league with additions from the Mountain West, sources tell
@YahooSports.
Oregon State & Washington State are targeting Boise, SD State, Fresno & CSU. The schools are applying for membership.

Statement from MWC Commish Gloria Nevarez:
“The Mountain West Conference is aware of media reports regarding the potential departure of several of our members & we will have more to say in the days ahead. All members will be held to the Conference bylaws & policies should they elect to depart. The requirements of the scheduling agreement will apply to the Pac-12 should they admit Mountain West members. Our Board of Directors is meeting to determine our next steps. The Mountain West has a proud 25-year history & will continue to thrive in the years ahead”

Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State & San Diego State leaving Mountain West to join Pac-12 in 2026, sources told
@ActionNetworkHQ. Official announcement is expected Thursday morning, sources said. The MWC schools will join Oregon State & Washington State, but Pac-12 still needs 2 more schools to reach 8-school minimum to qualify as an FBS conference.
MWC will receive a total of $111 million in exit fees. The departing Mountain West schools must each pay a minimum of a $17 million exit fee, which the Pac-12 is expected to help offset, a source said. Also, the Pac-12 must pay the MWC a total of $43 million for poaching the 4 Mountain West schools as part of a scheduling agreement b/w the 2 conferences
Wonder if those posters who called everyone idiots for thinking this could happen will come back and eat their crow/apologize. Thinking of a couple in particular ;)
The question is who else will PAC invite to get to the minimum of 8 teams? Still need 2 more. Like I said we will probably hear sooner than later.
I know you're not talking about me ;)Quote:

UNLV, Nevada, Hawaii, New Mexico. Maybe all 4.Quote:

I know a few FCS teams that are better than any team in CUSA, AAC etc. Not just better teams but better programs.Quote:

Highly doubt PAC but who knowsQuote:

Us and one other Dakota school would be ideal. Altho all Dakota schools are probably pretty enticing to the MWC now.Quote:

I doubt this. Would be "nice" (lol) but you gain nothing if you're the MWC. These are meaningful matchups for only a handful of people, relatively speakingQuote:

Interesting article.

"Idaho or Tarleton State could also be in the MWC conversation, but they seem less likely than Sac State, UC Davis, NDSU, SDSU, Montana, and Montana State."
Honestly I could totally see UC Davis going to MWC
There’s probably a dozen schools ahead of UND and USD. Most MW schools would probably vote to drop football once they saw Vermillion lol
The Pac-12 Conference will announce Boise State, San Diego State, Colorado State and Fresno State additions at roughly 9 a.m. ET, per On3’s Pete Nakos.
He needs to give us some advice in the farming thread but he just keeps it all to himself. He's got a Ford geniuses. I got a Ford geniuses so I'm doing something right. Sold front wheel assist eh. Don't make em like that anymore.Quote:

Pretty much what will probably happen lol

Geography and state schools being a big reason.Quote:

Would’ve killed for the SDSU, Boise and ‘Rado state road games but oh well. Majority of move to FBS for me at this point is for the non-conference scheduling opportunities anyway.
NDSU would roll through the MW annually with those four schools gone lol
What a joke of a troll job by that clownQuote:

SDSU just recently built a brand new stadium. It would be a kickass road game for the fans.Quote:
