It's an upgrade and a step in the right direction, but this is NOT the Pac 12 we've been wanting to join all these years. That conference no longer exists. This is essentially the MWC rebranding their name. This conference won't be treated as a power conference. I'm calling PINO, PAC In Name Only. Not the OG PAC but still an improvement over the old MW. Perfect example of addition by subtraction. No more Boise Bonus, no more elevation trips to Wyoming, Air Force or Utah State ...
We interrupt this post for the following breaking news: The beet juice market in San Diego just collapsed due to the Aztec athletic teams no longer will be traveling to excessively high elevation teams to play every year. Film at 11:00. Now back to your regularly scheduled posts.
... we can go back to a shorter conference basketball schedule, the weaker teams will no longer drag down our strength of schedule during conference play. I'm hoping the TV contract will be more favorable as well.
Don't forget, Ore. State's stadium has canopies...  |

Poster comment prior to posting the letter to students this morning: "This email went out to students today (interesting that they said CSU Fresno instead of Fresno State)" That's because it is officially California State University, Fresno. Fresnecks insist on calling themselves Fresno State. However, with the exception of one, every CA State University campus is officially a CSU or a Cal Poly. SDSU is the only one whose official name does not begin with a CSU or CP designation. When we first earned university status in 1973, we were known as CSU, San Diego. That lasted one year when we petitioned to we become SDSU in 1974. My wife graduated in 1973 and is part of the only class in history to have a CSU, San Diego diploma. They call it Fresno State on the official website www.calstate.edu/attend/campuses/find-your-csu/Pages/campus-match.aspx?location=&setting=&enrollment=&sports=°rees=& |

I did that post and it isn't a huge deal but, for the record, the CSU website lists the school as "Fresno State" and so does the school's website: www.calstate.edu/attend/campuses/find-your-csu/Pages/campus-match.aspxwww.fresnostate.edu/The Fresno State style guide also says the following in regard "Fresno State or California State University, Fresno": Fresno State is acceptable in all references. California State University, Fresno is the official name, but should only be used for specific academic audiences or international audiences.
Do not use the following:
CSUF
Cal State Fresno
FSU
CSU Fresno
Fresno State Universitymarcomm.fresnostate.edu/editorial-style/editorial-style-guide.html |

Hopefully Yoda comes back to the forum so we can all sing together: I believe Yoda is still camping out on Brett Yormark's doorstep begging for the Big12 invite he promised all of us. Somebody go tell him the news. |

Need Cal and Stanford back and then maybe you have something.
But this is a far cry from the old Pac 12....more like Pacific Mountain West.
