So, you're advocating for an ACC West division? I'm good with that. But after all is said and done, it would end up looking like a reformulated Pac 12, which I think would be the best option. All these schools are truly West Coast universities. The farthest east school is Las Vegas. None of this Rocky Mountain nonsense. The league's tagline could be "All attitude, no altitude." Pac 9
Stanford Cal Wash. St. Ore. St. SDSU UNLV Boise St. Fresno St. Nevada No reason for Fresno if we have the bay area schools. No reason for Nevada replace those with SMU at Tulane. And replace Boise with Colorado State |

Oxygen thins out at a log rhythmic rate as one ascends in elevation. The thinning of oxygen doesn’t start having a noticeable effect until you start going higher than 4,000 ft. SDSU is at about 800 ft. Vegas and Boise have negligible altitudes as it relates to thin air. Reno’s a tad annoying, but given their location and convenient location, I think they can be accommodated. Places like WYO, CSU, ABQ, AFA and USU are really problematic due to both altitude and the necessity to bus from the airport to the arena/stadia. Which is why I pointed out that UNLV is at 2,100 feet. No one would think of it as being an altitude school and neither is Boise. I was a distance runner in high school and college. When I would go up to Julian and run I would notice a performance drop, and I was a high mileage guy with a resting heart rate of under 40 bpm. |

According to college football media expert Jim Williams, six teams would be logical choices for the ACC to consider adding through expansion. It's important to recognize that while these schools may not fully replace the brands or markets lost, they could still benefit the conference. These teams include Memphis, USF (University of South Florida), Tulane, UConn (University of Connecticut), Washington State, and Oregon State. I don't see SDSU in this option, if the PAC2 schools take an easier option of expansion, rather than rebuilding the PAC12 conference. No conference is going to come out west for OSU/Wazzu and not take SDSU. UNLV would likely get looked at before Wazzu ever would. To build a pod in the west, the ACC would need to take a minimum of 3 schools out here. This is what I think would be most likely: Cal Stanford SDSU OSU UNLV Even with that, however, travel for BB would still be horrible. |

I don't see SDSU in this option, if the PAC2 schools take an easier option of expansion, rather than rebuilding the PAC12 conference. I realistically don't see SDSU getting into the ACC. If they expand and Calford pushes for a couple of west schools, the PAC 2 are the most likely choices. They'd have to expand by 4 out west for us to get in and I doubt they'd do that with more regional options Yes, because everyone wants to spend the weekend in Pullman, WA.  There is a reason why the PAC left OSU/Wazzu behind. |
