A new and better FBS thread

[B.Schlossman Fan Club]

According to Sports Illustrated, Colorado asked last week for the numbers and was told there were none lol

If that's the case Colorado will be far from the last one out the door. To me a complete collapse is looking more likely, unfortunately.

B12 and B10 played this masterfully.

I remember when they were saying that the Big 12 was done after OU and TX left……. So much for that!

Exactly
Fan forums love extreme “bomb” scenarios
But that’s not how it works
PAC survives just fine. They’ll take Hawaii if they have to
B12 has stated 14 is the goal and they’re basically there
B1G has said they are done for a while
MT/MT State have said they’re good in FCS for a while (no chippers)
Who does that leave?

Sorry but you know what I meant
Daylight savings time is stupid, my bad
She wants earlier games and better FB
I don't see that from UC Davis or Sac State

It does not come down to what Gloria wants. It all gets decided by the presidents in the MW.

Even a half-share of B1G money is better the way it sounds!

I still see ...

- UW/UO/Cali-Stan going hat in hand to the B1G and taking partials (half?)
- UA/ASU/UU/CU going BXII
- WasSU and OrSU landing with the MWC (whatever the new consortium is called)

there is no chance that WasSU and OrSU go to the MWC. The Pac12 won't die because they have tournament credits, exit fees and a recognizable brand (albeit diminished greatly). The Pac12 will pick who it wants from the MWC and the remaining schools in the MWC will be forced to add the leftovers. How many left in the MWC is the big question for me.

If she's a good commissioner, she wants what her schools want
I'm just quoting what she said
Do you like her as a leader?

I get the distinct impression that push-comes-to-shove, you don't want NDSU in your conference
If that's the case, I'm puzzled as to why you're here

That’s what he’s saying. They would have the PAC name but it would hardly still be the PAC conference. It would be the mountain west with the PAC trademark.

If it’s true that Colorado asked the PAC commissioner for the latest media deal numbers and got told that there are none on the table, Sic is right.

Another outfit is reporting that the best offer on the table is for about half what the B12 deal is, with only one game a week on network tv. If that’s the case, Sic is right.

The PAC and its schools have lost all bargaining power and it’s going to be a race to get into the B12 before they slam the door at 14. Then the next PAC schools reach out saying they’ll take partials to join either the B10 or B12. Even the partials for either conference are more than the reported PAC offer.

I would love nothing more than the PAC to stop the bleeding and grab 4 G5 teams. I guess we’ll see.

It is interesting with how much basketball talking he does he’s talking about Sac State and UCD lol.

[scottietohottie]

Rename the mountain west conference to the mid west conference. Problem solved eh. Easy pleasy eh!

I would be fine with NDSU in the MW. It may happen. I think Gloria is great. I came around here because I am interested in your story.

Gloria was on the Cazzano/Wilner podcast yesterday and she said she doesn't have much power and the presidents decide everything.

I said, "WasSU and OrSU landing with the MWC (whatever the new consortium is called)" ... meaning the whole MWC could be invited to a PAC consisting of just WasSU and OrSU. With 8 westerns going elsewhere in my scenario, I don't see the MWC breaking up, just either adding or "moving" as a group (to new "PAC").
