The PAC/MWC Dominoes Begin to Fall

Someone, please help me understand. Im sure there is plenty of you to weigh in.

As I understand it, the NCAA’s new requirements for a university athletic FCS football program to transition to an FBS program beginning in 2024-2025 require a two-year transition process. If Sac State successfully fulfilled the requirements, including paying or having the $5M waived, it would be 2026-2027.

For the Pac-12 to be recognized as a conference with access to NCAA championships and the College Football Playoff, the conference needs at least eight members in all sports by 2026.

Why would the Pac-12 even make Sac State a priority right now? Why not wait to see if everything Sac State says will happen even materializes? There are other schools more readily available to join the Pac-12 sooner.

If things look so good for Sac State regarding the Pac 12, why no offer from the Mountain West?

You sort of answered your own question. Because they are both trying to secure & block each other with strategic moves in FB / BB and yes with TV markets and a few Time Zones to spice things up.

They both in my opinion see value in SAC ST. I think both didn’t feel a need to rush knowing we have waiting period fcs to FBs that they didn’t need rushed decision.

With G1C Arena I feel we are still a solid choice. Both conferences would geographically in every aspect be better with SAC ST

Our old image of worn out gyms and bleacher stadiums is a weight on our shoulders. Our NEW image needs to be addressed!

A PR Team should build a 20 -30 second commercial once we get our stadium drawings in both Wazzu / Ore St markets. Those two universities have the voting decisions!

Yeah, some WSU troll is saying we average 5,000 a football game and play in a HS gym. Need to dust off the imagine.

While the second part about a HS gym is partially right, the first part displays utter ignorance and lack of education of said topic.

Someone not having the first damned clue what they’re talking about isn’t an “image” problem. It’s the individual’s problem.

The Hornets program didn’t just get good yesterday. They’ve been drawing in 10-15K average for a half decade now. Some “alleged” sports fans need to get out more and keep up with current events.

Circling back to the HS gym thing, that’s actually an insult to HS gyms. There are a myriad of HS gyms around the country that make the Nest look like an elementary school gym.
 
I mentioned this about 2 weeks ago.

SAC ST should have a PR / Advertising campaign run some ADS in the towns where the PAC12 office and Wazzu / OR St that have the voting rights.

Same with MWC decision makers.

San Jose will always be third to Stanford and Cal in their market. We don't have that problem, we are more like Fresno State in Fresno's market Sacramento's media market is much larger than Fresno.

SF 49ers being in Santa Clara I believe has made a huge dent in Stanford FB attendance. I saw the Cardinal stadium is picturesque and the have TT w exciting style of offense and the attendance looks embarrassing.
SJSU just receiving that new lopsided stadium and a new head coach have had better than usual attendance I believe.
