2026 PAC 12 (but really only 8) home and home?

THe new big dogs are Air Force, UNLV, New Mex, SJSU and NIU. Wyoming in the middle--this is so sad.
As soon as the MWC started making concessions to UNLV and Air Force and calling them the "flagship universities" of the conference, I knew Wyoming and the conference were in trouble.

I was always a little perplexed at those who were convinced we were going to somehow come out in a better spot than the teams leaving for the PAC. Not that the new PAC teams are in a great position, but they are definitely in a better spot than the teams staying in the MWC.
 
They probably don’t want to further dilute their media deals. I think NDSU would be a good get, though.
I'm very surprised that NDSU seems so bold to come alone, I had thought at least SDSU would need to come with if not UND and USD as well. It wouldn't be a bad add imo, plus would allow for UW to maybe get more recruiting branches in areas like Minnesota and to be able to contend. Though I can also 100% see the Montana schools and maybe Idaho fighting to follow if NDSU comes up
 
Wyoming
Idaho
Nevada
San Jose State
UC Davis
Montana
Montana State
North Dakota
North Dakota State
South Dakota
South Dakota State
New Mexico State
UTEP

This is our likely future if we continue our trajectory, and UNM, Hawaii, and UNLV go to the PAC and AFA fucks off to where ever. So terrible we didn't even try to stay with our historical grouping. Makes me sad.

Yikes. Hopefully that's not how things play out but can't just dismiss it's possibility with the way things are going.
