Smacks of our move to the Big East where as soon as SMU accepts a bid Oregon, Washington, Cal & Stanford move to join USC & UCLA and form the "western division" of the Big 10. That could leave SMU in "no mans land" once again if/when Utah, Colorado and the AZ schools then bolt for the Big XII. Really have to hope in that scenario that the legislatures in Oregon and Washington get involved and prohibit Oregon and Washington from abandoning OSU and WSU. Hopefully the expanded playoffs will motivate the PAC schools to all stay together even if SDSU and SMU become replacements for UCLA and USC.
My worst case scenario is that SMU pulls another Big East fiasco and moves west only to find itself scrambling to find a home once again.
Couldn’t disagree more. Worst case scenarios is staying in the new AAC.
When the Big East fell apart, we were grouped with the best of the rest. Which became the best G5 and where P5 would poach from. If the PAC loses more programs, I am sure we’re still better off being grouped with what’s left for some Intermediate amount of time.
