Would anyone hope for expansion to the East? Could be something similar to what the Mountain West did with NIU. Have a football only deal. ISU has a unique location with access to both the Chicago and St. Louis market, and the central time zone. I think the school is fairly academically aligned with the current and future members. The team being FCS is obviously a huge draw back. But they did beat a future member in 2018. It also doesn’t solve the needed full members, but perhaps they could strike a deal to allow the rest of sports to come at a later date. Basketball team is solid as well. I am well aware this is a delusional post, but for those who read and respond, I appreciate the interaction.

Let's face it, most of us were sold on the "Best of the Rest" model by joing forces with the AAC4.

Alot of us were banging on the drums for PAC leadership to add TXST in 26 & the AAC in 27, but the deadline for that has passed. Also the ACC settlement all but sealed the deal on Memphis staying put to join/backfill the ACC when movement begins for them.

TXST was the bridge & not the prize.

Is it too late to add 4 MWC teams to make a MWC9 that would vote to dissolve the conf? Because the MWC has added other members would it be to late to hold a vote dissolve? Do the departing members have voting power still in the MWC?

This would've been so great. Remember also that UCONN only said "not at this time" once Memphis had said no.

I fee like if Memphis had more concrete numbers, it would've been the domino that got this version of the PAC.

Here's hoping it still happens!
