Conference Realignment (Part 1)

Girl What GIF by MOODMAN

Honestly, Gonzaga has needed to change conferences if it is ever going to win a BBall championship. The WCC just doesn’t have the same strength as the major conferences. The B12 is confusing. They would be a lock for the Pac12.

Been in contact with the Pac-12 too:

They don’t have football so I’m surprised the B12 is interested

PAC should add SDSU and Gonzaga.

They don’t need a football only school for Gonzaga’s slot. Fewer mouths to feed.

Shocked B12 would add an Olympic sport only team.

Something about it seems less surprising for the P12 but the B12 is coming from a stronger overall position and I don’t see why they would want to do that.

All comes down to money. If Gonzaga’s brand is big enough they bring in additional money without having to split the football pie.

Not a surprise at all. I bet they add Gonzaga too and just play with 11 for football.

That’s not a bad league.

SDSU is a no brainer for the Pac-12ish. It was the only school left available in So. California. You need a foot in a market to claim any chance of pulling TVs in that market.

Who does the MWC backfill with?

New Mexico State would seem to be a natural fit here.

clt says DP is pretty well connected

When I saw it was Patrick “breaking” the story, knew to take it with a grain of salt.
