Do the ones that left to join other power conferences come back? It would be beneficial for both the schools and the conference if they do.

Stanford and Cal might. Big10 teams won't, not sure the Arizona schools will either.

Ushering in a new era, the Pac-12 Conference strengthens its legacy by welcoming four respected academic and athletic universities

The Pac-12 Conference Board of Directors voted unanimously to admit Boise State University, Colorado State University, California State University, Fresno, and San Diego State University, four respected institutions celebrated for their achievements in both academics and athletics, to the Pac-12...

Crazy how fast stuff moves at times and how slow it goes.

But also can't help but wonder why these moves fell over 14 months ago when Stanford, Cal and the 2 Arizona schools were still there and also as Washington and Oregon were undecided while the MW poaching was still a chance

 

[aussiedude]

I guess we know one of the Arizona schools was hesitating on the MW schools so that and the higher buyout for the MW schools prevented it from happening then.

There's a class divide.

No chance Cal (or UCLA when they were in the Pac) would ever have allowed Fresno State or San Diego State into the league (or San Jose State too)

The ill filling between the UC and Cal State systems and the superiority complex never would have allowed them into the league.

Plus the Cal schools as a group would have been embarrassed being academically associated with Boise State too. Yeah, we're miles behind them, but we also gave them a 100 year head start. We're one of the fastest growing schools in the country in many many metrics. If only Idaho could try and centralise everything. BS that law is at Idaho and Medicine is at Idaho State. Sure, we have one of the best Engineering schools in the country. But we need to at least get a medical school into Boise State. Boise is the fastest growing city in America of any reasonable size (or was it a very close second, I think Salt Lake City and Austin are in the same league) we need those facilities in the city.

Seems smart to look at BigSky team for both the Pac and MW.

These schedules need some work. Surely the idea should be to try and evenly match teams.

Absolutely nobody gets anything out of that game.

 

[aussiedude]

It was 80-10 at the end of the 3rdQ

The small schools get a good payout. Many FCS schools need the payment to stay afloat.

But doubt you are getting much to play Sun Belt schools who don't really have much money

You reckon the payout was worth that humiliation?

Idk, just seems to happen too often and seems utterly pointless to me.

There is always the chance to win. Look at the App St/Michigan game. Or NDSU games.

If the choice is lose by 50 or fold the football program they will take the money and the loss.

I'm not a fan of the November cup cake games, but in September I get it. The FCS would have real issues with teams folding if not for these games. You don't see a beatdown like this often

QB takes a knee a split second too early...

 

[aussiedude]

 

[aussiedude]

Fox still doing a pre recorded halftime segment with a small 2 man crew after but not talking about the current game. Thats just unacceptable since they are doing friday nights now.

 

[aussiedude]

If UNLV dont get the TD here its not going to see the ball again. like 9 mins this drive now

 

[gaskin]

This is all Kansas's fault if they don't win. Multiple guys had a chance to recover the fumble and didn't. UNLV penalty pushing them right back. Then on that play had the QB dead to rights at the line of scrimmage and he evaded them. It has been a horrible defensive stand from Kansas particularly since all UNLV seem to be doing is QB run.

 

[aussiedude]

what a TD drive by UNLV but still heaps of time for Kansas to get a FG for OT or to win

 

[aussiedude]

Arizona just cant stop the QB scrambles

 

[aussiedude]

What the hell were Kansas even trying to do on that last drive

 

[gaskin]

Horrible from Kansas but that was hardly a chop block. The lineman is falling to the ground and makes contact when he is on the ground.

 

[aussiedude]

a Utah/K-State Big12 title game would be fun, but feel one of them might stumble on the way
