The PAC/MWC Dominoes Begin to Fall

[HornetFootballFan]

WAC will disappear.

Nothing changing in FBS right now besides schools wanting to opt in or out of these NCAA settlements.

The ACC still fighting amongst themselves. They altered their media agreement, schools will get paid out more proportionately based on their Nielsen results. Going to make a haves and have nots.

None of this affects Sac St. Need an announced FBS move and/or Stadium update. Momentum is stagnant. Yes these things take time, but poor season has lead to a malaise. Hopefully more announcements soon.

Recruiting is speaking volumes in the interim.

Next news I anticipate will be from the NCAA for our request of 1 year transition to FBS Indy.

I believe that is what will be seen next steps?

It sure seems that way.

IDK what they’re selling these recruits on, but to attract so many 2-3 star kids and then to get the attention of some 4 star kids and even get a 5 star to visit?

I realize that Brennan Marion is an up and coming coach with a lot of connections — but still. Something else seems to be happening behind the scenes that is getting these kids attention.

Malaise from last season? Nah. The Marion hire followed by the highly touted portal and recruit class addressed that. I don't know any Hornet football fans that aren't excited about the on the field product for next season.

Agree that Dr. Wood needs to follow through on his announcements. Between the stadium, FBS ambition, conference home, and MBB HC hire; my guess is we see/hear news on the MBB HC before all else. Recently he's been pretty vocal on more of the stadium details so I wouldn't be surprised if there isn't a whole lot of news on that front for a while.

Regarding the WAC, as sad as it is to finally see it go away I am glad their disintegration occurred before any potential ill fated move by us into that conference. Had UVU and GCU not left, it would have been a viable Oly sports home for us. I haven't read up on the bylaws of the BSC, but I think it would be entertaining to see us just pull FB out of the BSC (assuming FBS indy is the move) and make them boot us for everything else.

Coach Marion and his staff seem to really have their pulse on the trends and interests of the newer generation that is hitting the scene. They are extremely active on social media.
