With a sparkling stadium and surging program, San Diego State makes an easy case for Pac-12 expansion

The Pac-12 suddenly has a gaping hole in Southern California, and SDSU has never been more ready to fill it

So even if your conference got all of them, that's a cost of, say, $200k per prospect (at the B12's full share rate) or $100K per prospect (at the new Pac 12's full share rate).

Sounds like SDSU starting to throw some weight around

I think he’s overplaying their hand. SDSU is not necessarily worth the amount

Arizona and Arizona State are basically Pacific time zone most of the football season

And they have a growing population that loves youth sports etc...

Exactly. Peel 'em off, then who cares about SDSU? Besides, ...

Sure, but Arizona is objectively the worst state in the nation.

He should probably not be taking negotiating advice from The Show.

I used to live there and all anybody ever talked about was USC. I think in those

Nat Gas Man

1/26/23 7:58pm

Well that is definitely true since UCSD doesn't have a football team

DIII last I checked

Bobmarleyjr

Interesting. Didn't realize they even had a team.

I think you're rounding way up

Eh. The pac 12 can have them. I think it’d be more comical to see Cal and

I would like SDSU in the B12, but on B12 terms.

Florwood

1/26/23 8:04pm

No you would not. SDSU is the scum of the earth.

I feel dirty. A link in that article took me to Utefans. Anyone have any soap?

I wonder how SDSU fared in all those metrics the guys on 365 sports went through

If they were that awesome, they would be in either league already.

ochobeeguy

Their AD is perfectly fine admitting they're not that awesome

CougarCanuck76

1/26/23 8:29pm

That’s pretty funny. I honestly doubt the Big 12 is legitimately interested in

BlooCoog

Maybe the PAC should take SJSU too while they’re at it.

Ducougar

1/26/23 8:40pm

There is no way Cal and Stanford accept a non research University

Here's an idea: PAC10 takes SDSU/Boise, Big12 takes ASU/UA, MWC gets ZIP.

TrueBlue67

1/26/23 9:03pm

By "ZIP" do you mean Utah & Colorado? Seems accurate to me.

cougarmeister

1/26/23 9:22pm

That's great, but if the PAC10+2-2 is going to take SDSU/Boise, why dump UU/CU?

TrueBlue67

1/26/23 10:23pm

SDSU and Zags are trying to use the Big 12 to create FOMO for the PAC…

Baylorbears11

1/26/23 9:46pm

I am fine with that. The PAC thinks SDSU is going to be happy with pittens b/c they’re there

runningryan

1/26/23 10:08pm

So much for quiet confidence. If you are that good you don’t need to sat so.

NorthwestCoug

1/26/23 11:03pm

B12 should take them, and AZ, AZST, & Colo then grab WA & Oregon when PAC falls

Honestly, having a foothold in SoCal would be nice. Just wish it wasn’t SDSU

DIVA syndrome. Act important and maybe you fool people into believing it.

This is when I wish UNLV's football program wasn't so weak.

What is the $ per recruit based on adding SDSU's deadweight just for recruiting?

Socrates Johnson

Socrates Johnson

1/27/23 12:00pm

So did they factor in that now B10 will be regular recruiters?

ImuaKahuku

1/27/23 12:44pm

Exactly.

Socrates Johnson

Wow. I actually wanted SDSU for selfish reasons. But now I hope they die.

Did some SDSu admins hang out with Utah aims recently? Also are delusions of grandeur contagious?

I still love the idea of conference road games to San Diego and Arizona
