Realignment Carousel Spins Up again (USC and UCLA to Big 10)

Lots more tweets in the last day about WSU to PAC. I think just fans speculating/wishing.

Obviously that because of what Ted Lasso did for the program.

For years, Gonzaga could’ve joined about any conference they wanted and they decide now to join in with a bunch of P4 rejects?

Interesting.

Their conference championship streak is about to end.

I think Gonzaga has always cared about being in a western conference. They were never really rumored to be a target of the PAC previously and it was always the XII or Big East (which made zero sense). The new PAC is very western based and is likely to remain so. It'll have a better payout than the WCC and won't be a crazy increase in travel like the other options would have been. They may be one of the few sane schools in all of this conference movement.

Interesting, interesting. Although I’m not sure Gonzaga changes the math for any AAC teams.

Gonzaga to the PAC-12, UTEP to the MWC.

Concerned the PAC-12 takes another run at Memphis.

"MWC Commissioner Gloria Nevarez was able to keep the remaining group together by promising significant cash distributions of the $90 million in exit fees"...

That west coast math is a little messed up !!

It took all of 1 day for Memphis, Tulane, and USF fans to start saying the PAC is going to circle back with a better offer and take the top AAC schools.

They are all laughable. At this point, I would love for them to go and watch them get dragged through the coals by the likes of Texas State, Fresno State, and Utah State.

What a bunch of gomers.

Thankfully it looks like Texas State will be headed to the MWC and not the AAC. Also mentioned is NIU football only

That would create another problem for NIU as I'm sure the MAC would tell them if they move football they'll have to move everything. NIU would end up in The Summit or OVC maybe for all of their other sports. They may find that acceptable but I'm not sure.

Memphis fans are special ... the AD gave a press conference yesterday that he didn't even have to do because the fans are being dumb. Mentioned that fans should still support the current teams. Tons of fans started commenting that he needs to get them playing better teams if he wants them to show up. Guess they prefer playing 1-3 Utah State, or 1-2 SDSU instead of 4-0 Army. They apparently go to watch the other teams

Yea, and the fact that 4 of our schools just told the PAC no, really feels like we are in the position of power in the G6. Though once the ACC blows up .. we are getting shredded likely

The ACC is a basketball conference. We are a basketball school. We could end up fairly well in an ACC collapse - or not.

[Stickboy46]

What's interesting to me is that after all this, it kind of looks like the AAC is in a stronger position than either the Pac-12 or the MWC. The Pac-12 currently has 7 full members. The MWC currently has 6 full members. The additions that both conferences are talking about are not very impressive. Texas State? I mean, it's okay or whatever but not leagues ahead of Rice, UTSA, or North Texas, all Texas schools that are currently in the AAC. With these kind of additions, I just don't see the Pac-12 or MWC clearly separating itself from the AAC.
