San Diego State Makes a Bold Move

[CajunEXPRESS]

P5 and G5 will not be a thing anymore in 2024 with the new playoff format. It’s the highest ranked 6 conference champs that get an auto bid.

Never was a real thing. They put the NCAA on notice that they were autonomous and that the NCAA would have to knuckle under or they would bolt. Since then the Pac 12 through bad leadership has only the name but has lost being the club.

[CajunNation]

I think the four corners schools could bolt before Washington and Oregon.

Very well could happen if the PAC can’t deliver a decent TV package.

Man, who is their AD…Tommy Mac? I’ve lost all respect for SDSU, what a neckster move.

Huh?

[zephyr]

I think he’s saying that because they are making this move without having any other invitation in hand

I would imagine they wouldn't be making this move unless they had some serious behind the scene discussions that would indicate they are all but in..

PAC 12 makes sense for SDSU even in its current state. At the same time B12 makes more sense for Colorado at this time. We'll see if they give notice by June 30th. There's momentum for it. Certainly all scenarios are being vetted, but from afar it seems like PAC12 should invite SDSU, Boise, and Gonzaga if their new network partners approve.

Totally agree.

Side note: I've always said if you want to get noticed step out from the shadows.

They are effectively willing to go independant in order to shake the tree.

This is the kind of bold move I've been asking Louisiana to make.

Get Noticed and put yourself on the map.

In the end though, I think you are right about SDSU having some "serious behind the scene discussions."

[CajunVic]

You mean serious independent discussions . . .

[ZoomZoom]

You mean serious independent discussions . . .

If independence was a good thing, SDSU wouldn’t be begging for a deal from the MWC while waiting on the PAC12.

[MelRock]

They are not going independent without some type of offer from the PAC 12.

Have to give the owner of this site a bone, every now and then . . .

WAC wants to be a Football FBS conference again. They have made it known loud and clear.

Dont think this will be happening anytime soon...

FBS membership requirement changes also announced today:
- FBS schools must offer 90% of allowable scholarship across 16 sports, including FB (total of at least 210 scholarships each year)
- Fee to move from FCS to FBS is now $5M from $5,000https://t.co/PQ17uhZ3ro
