They’re trying to avoid bankruptcy. The deal the pacstabbers thought they were getting isn’t enough to pay the bills in a couple years. And the longer they drag things out, the more they will try to poach from the MWC, AAC, and anyone else willing to answer their call. The stupid thing is, no matter how you slice it, the west now has two football conferences that will compete for recruits and ONE bid to a playoff- along with 4 other conferences. In basketball, there’s now 3 conferences that will split NCAA bids on an annual basis too. IF they would have just waited out Wazzu and OSU’s crying, a merger would’ve happened and there would have been a conference out west that could have been the best of the rest (G6) and a multiple bid basketball league. But no, water it down, a call yourself superior, and see what happens. Dumb.
