The Pac-12 is an excellent conference. The current members are: Washington, Washington State, Oregon, Oregon State, California, Stanford, USC, UCLA, Arizona, Arizona State, Utah, and Colorado. They have no imminent plans for expansion.

Yes, we belong in the PAC-16. Thank you. When I watch SMU win the national championship in the Rose Bowl I can die in peace.

Re: PAC-12?
Besides Washington, USC, Stanford and Oregon (even then some of them are overrated) are very average BCS bunch. I say they are on par with big ten. Big 12 and sec in general are top tier. Acc I think besides like two teams are a very average conference if anything below big east. It's just they got good business minds.

Yeah, I'm with you.... just heard a fourth "don't talk about this" kind of thing on this but I was hearing the same things a few years ago about us going to the Big 10.
At this point I don't care... decided to post. Why not? If it's happening, bully for us. But my posting on ponyfans won't matter in the least because if this happens? Well then I'll fly a pig to the moon and be damned happy while doing it. And if it doesn't because some jerk named ThadFilms posted on a message board about it? Yeah, well then tie me to a tree and shoot me with some sort of ice-based arrows, because it will be hot in whatever Mustang hell I'll be forced to go to.

1) SMU offers access to a hodge media market, good academics, ans 20 years of clean living with the NCAA. BYU didn't get a spot because it is 2 "churchy" for the Liberals in Cali. SMU doesn't have that problem. But, unless we got in for football only, the travel costs would be enormous for non- revenue sports.
2) SEC - with all the Big 12 schools on lockdown, SMU offers access to the largest TV market within a reasonable distance to sec schools.

Travel costs are nothing compared to increased revenue. Travel costs doesn't exist as a concern for BCS conferences

Re: PAC-12?
And SMU makes sense for PAC if they go to 16+. There aren't many options for them and everyone wants in Texas. TCU is the roadblock.

Re: PAC-12?
I'm curious how does the PAC get away with religious discrimination? I'm surprise BYU didn't pursue that when it was clearly obvious why they weren't selected... I mean a liberal judge would throw it out because well our justice system is a joke. It would have been nice to see the PAC get screwed over and get bad rap
Re: PAC-12?
PAC, the conference of Lane Kiffin and a few others, no thank you.

Re: PAC-12?
The federal courts in California would support any discrimination against Christians.
