For the record, I don't think the Pac is actually going to invite anybody.

I'm sure they've been "investigating options," but I don't see how they can make the math work. If they're already falling short of their media revenue goals with the remaining 10, bringing in two sub-standard programs as additional mouths to feed just doesn't make sense.

It doesn’t make sense, true. But blocking BYU didn’t make sense and they did it

By reading some Ute commentary, it'd be a huge letdown not to get SDSU and SMU because they are brilliant candidates

What if they are actually backfilling and not expanding?

Well, that's already the case, but maybe you mean an additional two are leaving

If it's not pro rata, then it doesn't matter to them.

I'm not saying it would 'increase the number' - I'm saying maybe there IS no

They'll only expand if they can get a deal done. I have my doubts
