I've warmed to the idea of Tex. St. now, and then Memphis and Tulane in 2027. Would even take Memphis now, and Tulane etc in 2027. Just get to 8 FB schools with a plan, add Gonzaga and go on from there. I really want to get that 8th program soon. Then I can relax and not worry about any other additions immediately. But we can't afford a really bad choice, which for me includes any high elevation additions. I do NOT know this answer to this: IS there a drop-dead date for subsuming this mystical 8th team? If so, what is that date? |

But we can't afford a really bad choice, which for me includes any high elevation additions. I'm with you on that. I do take some solace - being more pro-Hawaii than some other perhaps - in the fact that it's probably 98% certain that if the PAC invited Hawaii for all sports they would sign on the dotted line in about 3.5 seconds... even with some type of uneven revenue split to help cover other schools' travel costs. That's not the ideal outcome for the 8th school... but it would lock in the PAC as a legally viable conference, allowing time to then sort out maybe 2-4 AAC schools joining in 2027. Another advantage of Hawaii, if we're looking at other than optimum choices, is that although it's a long trip, it's crossing time zones moving West just before the game which is easier on the body than traveling the same number of time zones to the East. |
