The PAC would like to make the additions at least neutral academically. Rice could easily keep up athletically (akin to Stanford) if they made it a priority due to their financial resources. Also, the PAC would rather be in Houston than Stillwater.

If CCG games are deregulated, then look for the B1G and SEC to go to 16 teams

Deregulation just allows the remnants of the ACC/BigXII to form a leftover conf.

Texas is the Texas market. Rice is far superior academically to Houston.

I'd rather be second best and win.

the best teams bounce back to win

Is it my imagination, or is this a logic fail? Boise was the only possible

I disagree on two points. CSU would have had the best resume among the G5.

Do Ute fans refer to Wilson as a giraffe? I thought that was just a CB thing.
