How does that compare with the AAC if Memphis and Tulane stays?

Very good programs:

Wichita State has made the NCAAT 8 times in the last 16 years.
Memphis has made the NCAAT 8 times in the last 16 years.
Temple has made the NCAAT 8 times in the last 16 years.

Pretty good programs (recency bias for FAU and UNT):

UAB has made the NCAAT 4 times in the last 16 years.
FAU has made the NCAAT 2 times in the last 16 years.
North Texas has made the NCAAT 2 times in the last 16 years.

Not-so-great programs:

Tulsa has made the NCAAT 2 times in the last 16 years.
South Florida has made the NCAAT 1 time in the last 16 years.
UTSA has made the NCAAT 1 time in the last 16 years.
Charlotte has made the NCAAT 0 times in the last 16 years.
Tulane has made the NCAAT 0 times in the last 16 years.
ECU has made the NCAAT 0 times in the last 16 years.
Rice has made the NCAAT 0 times in the last 16 years.

Some fair points but overall I think Parrish paints a rosier picture for the pacxx than what plays out in the long term. For example, he's banking on boise and CSU to remain at their current levels in basketball. Once Medved leaves Ft Collins all bets are off.

The PAC will always be a mid major. The name won’t change that. If Memphis wants to put all of their eggs in a basket and travel 2000 miles for games against Fresno State and Boise State, have at it. They can’t succeed in the AAC, if they think a west coast conference is the ticket to success, then they are in for an even ruder awakening. I personally wanna see it happen just for entertainment value.

It's weird that these schools are so willing to jump to a conference that is basically a slightly better Mountain West. Is the PAC brand strong enough to really attract good media deals in the future that will make the travel costs worth it?

I hope Coach Mills can get us back on the right track this season and bring some appeal to our brand in order to have any hope of joining the Big East. Who the hell knows anymore though if that conference won't eventually implode too, though.

[TrackSuitAndTie]

Its still odd since the new "Pac" is more MWC than it is anything else

And the two members from the original PAC are the least valuable schools.

[Stickboy46]

It's weird because the rumors bouncing around suggest the PAC wants to add Memphis, Tulane, a Texas school (probably UTSA), and likely UNLV to get to 10 members. Perhaps they want to add in tranches, but I haven't seen anything credible about them going much bigger than that, which would leave Memphis and Tulane with a lot of travel.

I guess if they can get $15m a year in media revenue then it doesn't really matter. I feel like a lot of the enthusiasm for this conference is associated with the PAC brand.

Without an Eastern wing .. that is going to be absolutely brutal for Memphis.

Let them go under perform in the PAC while spending much more money to travel.

I'm officially worried about the Shocks getting left behind

No, I literally meant any 1 acre with 5 pieces of plywood and 8 2x4s.

ok. Maybe not that bad but haul your own water, no electricity, no bathrooms. And they get bought sight unseen by some Californian or Texan.

Don't lump us with the commies from Cali. Lmao

And I have friends in Alaska. I am well aware of how expensive it is to live in the middle of nowhere lol.

I was just pointing out the housing market just plain sucks these days not really trying to do a 100% direct comparison with Alaska. ;)

[shockerfan]

That's fun. I guess I shouldnt have listed the whole metroplex. Cause you cant get a very accurate average across a meteoplex this big. I live in Plano. No way I would actually live in the city of Dallas, unless it is Northern Dallas (which homes cost much more than Southern).

Homes in Plano, TX = 665,266

Plus, all these calculations are an average. Perhaps there are a wider range of income areas in the city of Dallas then there are in some of the other cities. Cause just cause I "could" buy a house for 250,000 in Dallas doesn't mean it would be in a very safe area worth living in. LMAO
