Easy add, SMU, gutsy add would be BYU. ND is now tied to ACC for non-revenue sports, so its off the table. If the PAC was smart they would add BYU and us and block the Big XII, so they'd have to add someone like Cincy, Memphis, Tulane or Tulsa.


Remind me why the PAC would pick you over SDSU?

They wouldn't. SMU (in its current state) has very little appeal to any P5 conference. (Although, I'm not really sure SDSU does either...)

Not saying the PAC would take us, but we aren't part of the Cal State system so that's one thing in our favor
