PAC is back
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. -

PAC is back
This. 100%. As part of an Eastern pod in the PAC, our travel wouldn’t be terribly worse than it is now and we wouldn’t have too many late night games. The upside is that we’d 1) likely get more media revenue and 2) be part of what will be considered “the best of the rest,” which helps us stay closer to the top of the pecking order during the next big wave of realignment when the SEC and BIG10 break away. Call me crazy, but in addition to UTSA and Memphis, I’d MUCH rather play Washington State, Oregon State, Boise State, Colorado State, and San Diego State in football and basketball over the likes of Tulsa, Temple, UAB, FAU, and Eastern Carolina. It’s not a difficult choice for me. I’d be on the phone with the PAC right now making our pitch and laying the ground work for an invite.- 1

Update 9/9: UNT Allotment Sold Out, Infantry Discount Available Till Thursday 3pm - Mean Green Invasion of Lubbock
You're wrong but absolutely right that it looks way too close. For anyone who says our helmets are way different than Oregon go ahead and fire up NCAAFB 25 on your playstation and have the teams play one another, and then come back to me with that nonsense. -

Agreed. Set up divisions or (at very least) three or four conference games against teams that are regional. Cuts down on travel costs and maintains at least a few annual rivalries. Something to consider though is how desperate are some of the leftover MWC to get that PAC invite? I got a feeling the PAC is going to leverage the fear of being left in the lurch to incentive potential expansion candidates to forego media revenue and/or "pay" to join. If you're UNLV right now you are probably willing to do just about anything not be left out of the PAC. Same goes for the other MWC teams. Will that have a trickle down effect to schools like Memphis, Tulane, and USF? -

For those who've mentioned the travel if UNT joined the Pac, this above would make it work minus USF. An "eastern" division with a combination of Colorado State, UNT, Texas State, Tulane, Memphis, and UTSA or even Tulsa depending on how many programs you'd want would make it work in my opinion. Currently we have to travel to Philadelphia for Temple, West Point (closest airport in New Windsor) for Army, Miami for FAU, and Annapolis for Navy. An eastern division with a couple cross-division games per year wouldn't result in any significant additional travel than what we currently in the AAC. I hope if we get the call, we answer the phone, and make the jump.- 5
