I would like to see the MW adding Gonzaga as well for all the Olympic sports partly to even up the numbers for all sports. Only ones certainly at an even number of teams...football with Hawaii and women's soccer with Colorado College.doreno5 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 28, 2023 2:20 pmI like the idea of adding Oregon State and Washington State to the MWC.

I'm surprised they can't see that they are merely the first casualty. More from the p5 (now p4) ranks will be joining them. There is no avenue back to the highest level of football for them and soon to be others.
This rumor REALLY concerns me

I thought for sure the ACC would have invited WSU and OR State, but it appears not, just Stanford, Cal, and SMU.

I'm not surprised at all. Without the PAC TV money WSU and OSU are just middle of the road MWC teams from an athletic budget standpoint. They rode the coattails of the rest of PAC for 100 years.WYO_Fan_inPA wrote: ↑Fri Sep 01, 2023 7:38 amI thought for sure the ACC would have invited WSU and OR State, but it appears not, just Stanford, Cal, and SMU.
Now that they've been turned down by the ACC and AAC, they can settle into negotiations with the MWC. Frankly, they're a good fit. Small college towns, second schools in their respective states, $40-$60M athletic budgets.
The only sticking point left is whether they can keep any of the PAC residuals. If not, then there isn't any anything to do but congratulate them on joining the conference in 2024.

It's possible both WSU and OSU said "No Thanks!" to the AAC and they quickly said, "You can't break up with me, I'm breaking up with you!"flyfishwyo wrote: ↑Fri Sep 01, 2023 10:24 am Now that they've been turned down by the ACC and AAC, they can settle into negotiations with the MWC.

Very true points. I believe the MWC made pitches to both schools.flyfishwyo wrote: ↑Fri Sep 01, 2023 10:24 amI'm not surprised at all.
