Maybe the PAC only took 4 from the MWC in order to leave the MWC intact as a conference at 8. Something tells me they didn't want to destroy the conference right out of the gate. They may end up doing that anyway as it looks east (but not too far east) to round out its membership. My guess is they would like the AFA, but may feel that the AAC has a better chance of pulling them in with the other service academies.
Could make the same argument about UNT except it's a little closer, and all of the front range along I-5 is sort of considered the Denver market until you get closer to Colorado Springs. I'm betting a ton of CSU alumni live in the metro area like we do in DFW.
I think the best bet is to go in tandem with UTSA and Tulane. Try to sell the PAC on having a footprint in DFW, San Antonio, and New Orleans. That might be enough to get it done.
The PAC needs media markets in the worst way. Wazzu, Oregon State, Fresno State, and Boise State are complete non-starters. SDSU at least is in a major market. CO State is close enough to Denver you could make the argument. UNLV, Memphis, UNT, UTSA, Tulane, and USF are all in major markets. That should be the play.
It’s also worth evaluating the cost of inaction or NOT moving to the PAC.
If some combination of UTSA, Memphis, Tulane, and Rice or USF go to the PAC and we remain in the AAC, is the AAC still a great place for us?
I think not.
Pull out all the stops. Join the new PAC.
