Re: SBC tells the “PAC 2” to pound sand
Heck, looks like the cards will fall in favor of Oregon State and Washington State. Figured such since the departing voted to follow loss of voting rights per the conference charter in the past. Made their own defense hollow.

The PAC 2 has money coming. They can afford a H/H or a big payday to a G5.
But alas, we got Kennasaw State...

If they won that lawsuit, they will rebuild the PAC.

But with whom? Obviously the MWC shot them down months ago. It will be interesting what Olympic sports go away at the pac 2s. That cash drain has to go away in the future.
In a few years, we’ll have the G6.
Re: SBC tells the “PAC 2” to pound sand
Looks like an agreement with MWC is happening.
https://sports.yahoo.com/oregon-stat...134733816.html
Though there are many scheduling models, the most likely is what’s termed a “7+1” format where Mountain West teams play seven conference games — not eight — plus one game against either Washington State or Oregon State. They would rotate the game against either OSU or WSU home-and-away over the two-year cycle.
Games against OSU and WSU are not expected to count toward the league standings. The two Pac-12 members will not be eligible for the MWC championship and will compete as quasi-independents under the Pac-12 banner.
Those Mountain West schools with previously scheduled non-conference games against one of the two schools will play the other as well during the same season. For instance, San Diego State has games scheduled against Washington State, at home in 2024 and on the road in 2025. In the model, the Aztecs’ would likely play Oregon State both years as well.
Three more schools would play two games against the Pac-12 duo in a single season because they have previously scheduled games, including Boise State (Oregon State, 2024), Fresno State (Oregon State, 2025) and San Jose State (Washington State, 2024).
The agreement, expected to include a lucrative financial package for Mountain West members, is likely to feature a long-term commitment to the conference with an intent at a full merger beyond this two-year cycle. Part of the agreement includes a financial penalty that can be levied upon Oregon State and Washington State if the two programs attempt to acquire only a portion of MWC schools in the future.
