The Pac could still lose schools to the B12. That could be why they are looking into SMU.

SMU has good academics, great facilities, rich boosters and is located in large metro area in Texas. They check all the boxes.

If SMU bounces who do we get?

Can we get JMU?

That would be my pick.

Donā€™t think Harrisonburg meets Arescoā€™s airport requirements.

A rich school in Texas with no baseball. Odd if you ask me.

AAC should call Boise State to see what they say. Air Force and Colorado State were previously on the radar I think you call them again also.

Iā€™d hate to lose SMU but Iā€™d make another run at Army/Air Force if we did. Clt is right though we wouldnā€™t need to add anyone.

6946

Academy or Colorado State would be my picks - but UNLV seems to fit what AAC profile is.

6947

The more I read the more likely it looks that SMU is gone. I hope Poggi is able to come in with a bang, the time to win is now,

clt says losing Tulane or Memphis would hurt more

We could go get odu, their tennis facility is world class

The good thing is with Aresco I have no doubt he has a plan and has thought out virtually any scenario. CUSA leader Judy is much like our Judy. Reactionary and little vision or plan.

I donā€™t think Army would join Navy in a conference because it could mean conflicting with the meaning and late season schedule of the Army-Navy game, but I dunno. If they could replace SMU with AirForce, do it now. If they get UNLV, we definitely should hire Ricky P. With the hookers in Vegas, NIL and viagra, Ricky could thrive for at least 5 more years.

I get the attraction to adding schools like Air Force, but you have to consider the footprint.

Itā€™s a shame that there isnā€™t a program in Georgia that is appealing, because it is a hole in the footprint. It would also make the East/West split much easier.

Iā€™d also love to believe those of you who think the PAC12 is going to reload and possibly even expand, opening up opportunities in the Big 12.

I just donā€™t even see us in the same league as Kansas. If we ever made it into something called the Big 12, I donā€™t think it would include them.

Colorado makes a smiley face footprint, so add AirForce

6953

Georgia State??

My personal opinion? No.
